CutList Optimizer

🎯 Overview
A powerful web-based material optimization tool for woodworkers, CNC operators, and makers. Efficiently nest rectangular parts and complex SVG shapes onto material sheets to minimize waste and maximize efficiency.

✨ Key Features
📐 Dual Nesting Modes
Rectangular: Fast bin-packing algorithm for standard rectangular parts with optional 90° rotation
Shape (SVG): Advanced polygon-based nesting for complex geometries using Web Workers

🎨 Interactive Manual Editing
Drag and drop parts after optimization
Smart collision detection and edge snapping
Rotate parts with automatic position validation
Real-time undo/redo system
Keyboard shortcuts for efficient workflow

📊 Advanced Material Management
Multiple sheet sizes and quantities
Configurable kerf (blade width) compensation
Part clearance and sheet margin settings
Live utilization statistics and waste calculation

💾 Export & Project Management
Export to SVG, DXF, and JSON formats
Save/load complete projects
Multi-sheet layout support
CNC-ready output with exact dimensions

🛠️ Technical Highlights
React + TypeScript for type-safe development
