My company recently published a new 3D binpacking algorithm based on a spectral approach which is faster and produces denser packs. It is targeted for 3D printing where parts need to be packed within the build volume of the printer.

You can find out more about it here (including a technical paper): https://inkbit3d.com/packing/

This is really neat. I see you use a single GPU in the paper. Would it be possible to parallelize this across many GPUs to increase the speed?

Thanks for sharing the paper! <3 I've been meaning to implement something like this for organizing my tools in boxes and obviously I will choose the overkill solution for sorting screwdrivers and power tools
