Introduction
This service is a rectangle-cutting optimizer, allowing you to save material.
It is based on Optalog's nesting technology, which provides the world's most powerful
nesting engine. It uses its NestAPI service, offering a straightforward
REST API for nesting rectangles and irregular shapes.
Optalog provides a library that can be embedded in your on-premises software or on
your servers.
This demonstrator is built using the Vue.js framework for the front end and
Python Flask for the back end, which calls the NestAPI service.
If you want to develop your own web application, we can also provide support and help
you to do so.
