When two custom-cut panels are nested within the same base panel, and their adjacent sides are not the same length (meaning their perpendicular sides don't meet at the same cutting point), the cutting blade can inadvertently cut into the effective area of the neighbouring panel when completing the shorter perpendicular cut.
The request is for MaxCut to automatically detect this condition and apply a user-defined separation distance between the two panels only in this specific case. This separation value should be configurable by the user (similar to how saw kerf is handled), since the required distance may vary depending on blade size and company workflow.
Importantly, this separation should not apply universally to all panels, as that would increase material waste and not reflect actual cutting constraints. It should only trigger when the program identifies that two adjacent panels have non-matching side lengths that would cause the blade to cross into an adjoining panel.
This feature would improve optimisation accuracy for users working with large-format materials such as ceramic tiles, stone, or similar sheet goods where blade path interference is a real production concern.
