Turkish Aerospace Industries

Graduate Project - Intern 11.2016 - 07.2017

Developed a decision support system to minimize waste of raw material in the cutting process. The project had two main objectives. Find the optimal cutting pattern and generate clear instructions for cutting operator. For the first part, I’ve developed a constructer heuristic algorithm and used it in a meta-heuristic search. The second objective fulfilled by step by step text instructions and provided 3D visualization of the result of each step. The project awarded 3rd place in Tübitak Graduation Project Competition.
