PLate OPtimizer

Okay kiddo, do you know what plates are? They are big flat pieces of metal that are used in printing machines to make prints on paper.

Now, sometimes we need to make a lot of prints and it can take a long time to set up the plates in the machine for each print. That's where a plate optimizer comes in.

A plate optimizer is like a helper robot that figures out the best way to arrange the prints on the plates so that we can fit as many prints as possible on each plate. This way, we can save time and material and make more prints faster.

It's like playing a game of Tetris, but instead of fitting blocks together, the optimizer fits the prints on the plates. And just like how we try to fit as many blocks as possible in a row in Tetris, the optimizer tries to fit as many prints as possible on each plate.

So, plate optimizers are really helpful tools that help us make more prints efficiently.
