# pack3d
Tightly pack 3D models.
### Installation
First, install Go, set your GOPATH, and make sure $GOPATH/bin is on your PATH.
```
brew install go
export GOPATH="$HOME/go"
export PATH="$PATH:$GOPATH/bin"
```
Next, fetch and build the two binaries.
```
go get github.com/fogleman/pack3d/cmd/pack3d
go get github.com/fogleman/pack3d/cmd/binpack
```
### Usage Examples
Note that pack3d runs until stopped, writing its output to disk whenever a new best is found.
```
pack3d 2 3DBenchy.stl # tightly pack 2 boats
pack3d 4 3DBenchy.stl # tightly pack 4 boats
pack3d 1 *.stl # tightly pack various meshes, one of each
# pack as many boats as possible into the printer volume, given a few different arrangements
binpack 1 3DBenchy.stl 2 3DBenchy-x2.stl 4 3DBenchy-x4.stl
```
### Examples
113 3DBenchy tug boats packed tightly
27 R2-D2 droids, 8 parts each
