Automatic Nesting and NC Cutting of Flat-Bar

선박용 플랫바의 자동 네스팅 및 가스/플라즈마에 의한 NC 절단

The 'flat-bar' is a stiffener which is a component of ships. It is basically a long rectangle and has 'end-cut' shapes at both sides. The paper describes a fast nesting algorithm of the flat-bar, and a procedure to generate cutting path of gas/plasma torch, which is operated by a NC (numerically controlled) gas/plasma cutting machine. Proposed procedures are written in C-language and executable on VAX machine with Open VMS operating system.
