Hi, An MSc student here (Peter Baron) looked at the 2-d cross section optimisation problem with a GA using a voxel representation. The papers can be found on my WWW pages: http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/daidb/people/students/9406166.html You might also be interested in looking at the work by the Manufactoring Planning Group at the Dept of Mechanical Engineering at Edinburgh: http://www.mech.ed.ac.uk/research/mpg/index.htm I hope this helps!
