Screw-shaped implants were prepared with three different surface topographies: One was left as machined, ie, a turned surface, and two were blasted surfaces with differing degrees of surface roughness. The surface topography was measured with a…

This paper describes a new heuristic for the nesting problem based on a 2-exchange neighbourhood generation strategy. This mechanism guides the search through the solution space consisting of the sequences of pieces and relies on a low-level…
