OpenNest is a free open-source digital fabrication plugin for Grasshopper and Rhinoceros. This video is an introductory tutorial of the “OpenNest“ component and the plugin in general. The tutorial also includes a short exercise for nesting groups of objects, for instance, nesting the curves and their indices as text objects. Have fun!
