Hi everyone,
I’m trying to figure out the most efficient way to load a set of 3D panels with irregular geometry into a truck bed for transport. Ideally, I want to avoid overlaps and make the best use of the available volume.
Has anyone done something similar before or knows a Grasshopper plugin for mac or workflow that could help with this kind of 3D nesting or packing? I’d appreciate any tips or tools you recommend.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Alim. Spectral Packing - Inkbit 3D
The technology is there, but is not available for mere mortals yet, as far as i know. 3d packing for irregular objects of different shape is complicated. Even if you get it done, the other question is actually packing a real truck. You also need order in which shapes are placed explained to loader men, and the packing to be done in a way that actually allows placement of pieces(lets say some pieces have to hang in the air before larger piece is placed, or the shape makes it very difficult to load and unload, or nesting is so complex it becomes a real puzzle, etc).
If you care about 2d plan placement, i would do the following:
