Find optimal distribution of repeating graphic in given frame

I’m looking for a tool, that, given a vector graphic and a minimum distance, will find the optimal distribution of a maximum number of copies on a given frame.

This is meant to minimise material waste when printing or cutting a certain outline as often as possible with minimum material.

I am not bound to a certain OS and willing to pay for software, although open source is preferred for monetary, ideological and engineering reasons.
