3d-bin-space-utilization

Square space utilization core for 3d bin packing algorithm.

When starting to write algorithm for 3d Container loading software it is hard to understand how to utilize space while adding cargo to it. I give you my algorithm / structure of space utilization for 3d container packing software.

• Demo packing algorithm gives you a very good results and understanding about code usage.
• Algorithm based on Random and little bit of magic :) Unfortunately, each time it will give you different solution for the same problem.
• java3d library and Draw3d class gives you quick look / development tool for your algorithm results.

Notes:

• Coordinates for Bin starts at (0,0,0):[length, height, width] and goes till defined bin size.

• Each time, when adding Cargo to Bin you have to create new unmodifiable Bin with added cargo to it (Example in demo algorithm).

• Core does not provide any restrictions when adding cargo, cargo can overlap, if not respected empty space.

• In Bin, Cargo rotates at most on six positions / sides.

• Detailed info

  • Run demo code.
