Cylinder Pack
This calculation is specialized in packing cylindrical items. Calculate the required amount of bins for transport, taking into account a mixture of available bins.
It is able to take into account mandatory consolidation for subsets of items and stacking requirements. The result of this endpoint contains all the information that would be required to make use of packing visualization.
