🔍 What is Compact Mode?

Compact Mode is an advanced packing algorithm in 3dpack.ing that optimizes space by packing items more efficiently. This means:

📦 A Simple Example

Imagine you have:

With standard methods: You can only fit 19 items.

Standard Packing - 19 Items
Standard Packing - 19 Items

With Compact Mode: You can fit 20 items.

Compact Mode Packing - 20 Items
Compact Mode - 20 Items

📊 Competitor Comparison

Our competitors achieve similar results with standard methods, typically packing 19 items in this scenario:

Competitor 1 - 19 Items
Competitor 1 - 19 Items
Competitor 2 - 19 Items
Competitor 2 - 19 Items

By switching to Compact Mode, we consistently pack 5% more than competitors, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

🛠 Real-World Case Study

In a real-world scenario, Compact Mode enabled a logistics company to fit 25 items in a shipment, while competitors could only manage 24. This optimization led to significant cost reductions over thousands of shipments.

🛠 How Does Compact Mode Work?

The traditional method partitions the remaining space into sections once an item is placed, which can leave gaps in two different ways. In below picture the red boxes are the items and the white boxes are the partitions. So you can see there are 2 different options for this case.

Traditional Space Partitioning - Method 1

Traditional Space Partitioning - Method 2

Compact Mode improves on these inefficiencies by ignoring predefined partitions and instead leveraging **black circles**, which represent potential placement points across the available space. This method allows for a more dynamic and efficient arrangement of items.
