Abstract: A cutting stock algorithm based on four-block layout was proposed to solve the two-dimensional plate shearring and punching of circular parts. With this layout, a sheet was divided into four blocks. Only the strips with the same direction and length were arranged in each block, and several rows of the same circular parts were arranged in the strips. A four block layout method for generating circular parts on a single sheet by constructing a layout algorithm. Firstly, the layout of circular parts in the strips was determined. Secondly, recursive algorithm was constructed to generate the layout of the strips in blocks. Finally, implicit enumeration algorithm was used to determine the optimal four-block partition. The column generation algorithm was used to call the above layout algorithm to generate a number of different layouts. Based on the simplex principle, a group of layouts were selected to form the cutting plan, and the decimal solution was rounded. The results showed that the plate utilization ratio of the algorithm in the study is 0.49%, 0.32%, 6.04% and 1.50% higher than those of the four literature algorithms, respectively, and the calculation time can meet the needs of practical applications.
