Abstract
Nesting methods and computer-controlled machine tools for cutting one or more objects from a workpiece. The nesting methods aid in minimizing wasted material by assigning efficiently packed, nested locations for each object on the workpiece. The nesting methods assign locations in view of a predetermined stacking order of the objects, thereby preventing issues in subsequent manufacturing steps that would result from a substantial reordering of the objects.
