@0xdoublesharp/bin-packing

Native Node.js bindings for the bin-packing Rust crate — a cut list and bin packing optimizer for 1D cutting stock (linear bar / pipe), 2D rectangular sheet packing, and 3D box packing.

Prebuilt binaries for Linux (x64, arm64), macOS (x64, arm64), and Windows (x64, arm64). No Rust toolchain required.

Install

pnpm add @0xdoublesharp/bin-packing

Usage

const { solve1d, solve2d, solve3d } = require('@0xdoublesharp/bin-packing');

// 1D cutting stock
const cuts = solve1d(
  {
    stock: [{ name: 'bar', length: 100 }],
    demands: [
      { name: 'A', length: 45, quantity: 2 },
      { name: 'B', length: 30, quantity: 2 },
    ],
  },
  { algorithm: 'auto' },
);

// 2D sheet packing
const sheets = solve2d(
  {
    sheets: [{ name: 'plywood', width: 96, height: 48, kerf: 2 }],
    demands: [
      { name: 'panel', width: 24, height: 18, quantity: 4, can_rotate: true },
    ],
  },
  { algorithm: 'auto', min_usable_side: 12 },
);

// 2D cut plan — generate an ordered cut sequence from a finished layout
const { plan2dCuts } = require('@0xdoublesharp/bin-packing');

const cutPlan = plan2dCuts(
  sheets,
  { preset: 'table_saw' },
);

// cutPlan.total_cost — aggregate cost for all sheets under the chosen preset
// cutPlan.sheet_plans — array of per-sheet plans; each carries:
//   .steps        — ordered array of cut steps (cut, rotate, fence_reset, …)
//   .total_cost   — cost for this sheet
//   .num_cuts, .num_rotations, .num_fence_resets, .num_tool_ups, .travel_distance

// 3D box packing
const bins = solve3d(
  {
    bins: [{ name: 'crate', width: 60, height: 40, depth: 30 }],
    demands: [
      { name: 'box_a', width: 10, height: 10, depth: 10, quantity: 3 },
      { name: 'box_b', width: 8, height: 6, depth: 5, quantity: 2 },
    ],
  },
  { algorithm: 'auto' },
);

All three functions accept a problem object and an optional options object, and return a solution object. Full TypeScript types are included.

Edge kerf relief

Set edge_kerf_relief: true on a sheet when the final cut on each axis can run off the stock, consuming less than a full kerf of material:

sheets: [
  {
    name: 'plywood',
    width: 48000,
    height: 96000,
    kerf: 125,
    edge_kerf_relief: true,
  },
];

Each part must still fit within the sheet's own dimensions, but the last placement on a row or column may extend by up to one kerf past the sheet boundary — the model treats this as the blade exiting the material.

API

plan2dCuts(solution, options?)

Generates an ordered cut plan for every sheet in a finished TwoDSolution. Presets: table_saw, panel_saw, cnc_router.

The returned plan carries per-sheet steps and a total_cost. Each sheet plan includes an ordered steps array and counters for cuts, rotations, fence resets, tool ups, and travel distance.

Throws when table_saw or panel_saw is used on a non-guillotine layout (NonGuillotineNotCuttable) or when a cost override is invalid (InvalidOptions). Use cnc_router as the universal fallback.

plan1dCuts(solution, options?)

Generates an ordered cut plan for every bar in a finished OneDSolution. The only preset is chop_saw. The returned plan carries per-bar steps (cut and fence_reset) and a total_cost.

solve1d(problem, options?)

Algorithms: auto, first_fit_decreasing, best_fit_decreasing, local_search, column_generation.
