Our tests have determined that the diameter of the circle being nested inside the ring will affect which approach will nest the most parts down. It should be understood that no one approach works best all the time . In tests that we have done, we have seen as many as 18 more parts go down inside a ring when comparing the different approaches . To illustrate how significant the results are, we have displayed the number of circles that fit inside each ring in the top left corner of each box. In this example, the top left scenario puts down 44 circles inside the outer ring, the worst approach ( middle right ) nested 28 circles, an increase of 16 circles. Compare the top left approach to the approach used by the software you currently have.
