Rodun

Rodun (from the Icelandic word Röðun, with meanings pointing towards optimization and arrangement) is a C++ desktop application designed to help optimize the use of materials by planning cuts based on user-provided specifications. This tool is particularly useful for industries or individuals working with raw materials like wood or metal, where minimizing waste is critical.

Features

• Input material dimensions and cutting specifications.
• Generate optimized cutting plans to minimize waste.
• User-friendly desktop interface.
• Supports multiple material types and configurations.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• A C++ compiler that supports C++20 or later.
• A build system like CMake (recommended).
• A compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
