2D Cutting Stock Problems

Algorithms for Generating Cutting Patterns of Equal Rectangular or Circular Blanks

This submission contains two algorithms for solving 2D Cutting Stock Problems:
1. A continued fractions and branch-and-bound algorithm for generating cutting patterns with equal rectangles;
2. An efficient recursive algorithm for generating cutting patterns of circular blanks.
