Does anyone know of a plugin for that? I know that functionality exists in pattern making software, so that the pattern uses the least amount of fabric possible.

Thanks guys

I remember there  was  a  Windows  plugin mentioned on another thread,  made by the member,

eCut Adobe Illustrator plugins: nesting, plotting, cnc - Main

but  i never tested it.

Nearest i can think  a  free browser based  SVG one

SVGnest - Free and Open Source nesting for CNC machines, lasers and plasma cutters

    This is called nesting. You also find it in CAD software.

    I haven't seen a plugin do that.

    One company I could imagine might have this is ESKO. Maybe ask them?

    And maybe ask Baby Universe. They make CAD plugins

      Be sure you are sitting down when you look as the subscription cost! 😁
