The present work proposes new heuristics and algorithms for the 3D Cutting and Packing class of problems. Specifically the cutting stock problem and a real-world application from the retail steel distribution industry are addressed. The problem being addressed for the retail steel distribution industry is the retail steel cutting problem, which is how to cut steel in order to satisfy the custom...

Nowadays in highly competitive precision industries, the micromachining of advanced engineering materials is extremely demand as it has extensive application in the fields of automobile, electronic, biomedical and aerospace engineering. The present work addresses the modeling and optimization study on dimensional deviations of square-shaped microgroove in laser micromachining of aluminum oxide ...

Custom knee implants and patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) have been developed as alternatives to off-theshelf implants and conventional cutting guides for joint arthroplasty. Custom implants and patient-specific cutting guides are constructed with the aid of preoperative 3-dimensional computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and proprietary planning software. The...
