15. Subtractive CAM & 2D Nesting

Subtractive manufacturing carves desired shapes out of raw solid stock. This chapter covers CNC cutter radius offsets, inside corner dogbone reliefs, No-Fit Polygons (NFP), and irregular sheet nesting heuristics for minimizing material waste.

  1. CNC Offsets & Relief — Interactive geometrical visualization of cutter radius compensation and dogbone corner reliefs.
  2. 2D Irregular Nesting — Interactive geometrical visualization of No-Fit Polygons and Bottom-Left-Fill sheet packing.
