Leather nesting is a module in NestLib^® to address the needs of the leather manufacturing industry.

In the leather manufacturing industry, different parts of the animal hide may be of different leather quality, which may be due to anatomical reasons or injuries. There may also be holes on the hide. In practical applications, the parts or areas of a part may be required to be of high/ low quality. (e.g. the seat, the backrest, or the arms of the armchair must be of high quality whereas the other parts of the armchair can be of lower quality.

The parts must be placed on the hide corresponding to their quality. This means that the area of the part belonging to a special quality must be placed on the hide area that is of the same or of higher quality. The leather nesting module in NestLib^® takes care of all these requirements.
