We design and make acrylic cake toppers, which are cut out of sheets of 600mm x 400mm acrylic. We produce our designs for cutting in Adobe Illustrator. On a sheet of 600mm x 400mm acrylic we can normally arrange between 12 - 16 different cake toppers for cutting. We import each illustrator file into our 600mm x 400mm workspace, and manually arrange each topper to maximise the number of toppers that fit in that space. We turn the toppers around 360 degrees to fit as best as possible, maximising space covered and reducing wasted space. This is a very time consuming and non efficient task We require a solution that will quickly and efficiently enable us to "nest" multiple files together into a 600mm x 400mm space - maximising the items per sheet that we can fit ready for cutting. We require a solution that has a 600mm x 400mm workspace, the ability to import multiple files (i.e. 10 files at once) and the automatically arrange the files into the workspace to fit as best as possible (with a minimum space of 3mm between any near parts of each design) I have attached an example of some cake toppers we have manually arranged into a workspace - each file was opened and then arranged to fit as best as possible. This would need to be a Windows 7 64 Bit Program - or possibly a Web Driven Application / Tool - depending on which is best for this tool. Please ask any questions

I have experience working with graphics in Java and have worked on similar projects that require detection of overlapping images, as well as rotating and positioning images on top of each other. I can provide a Java program that would run on any platform. The program would allow you to select as many files as you want, and would arrange them in the best way to maximize space on the final resulting image. I think there are additional rules or features that will have to be taken into account. You may select too many files and they would not fit no matter how you arrange them. If you print a lot, you may want the program to generate multiple outputs at a time, based on many files. For example you could pick 100 files to generate 10 different results at a time. I would need to know more information before starting, especially the type of output the program should produce, a JPG or vector type.
