title: How to find if a 3D object fits in another 3D object (the container)?
body: <p>Given two 3d objects, how can I find if one fits inside the second (and find the location of the object in the container).</p>
  
  <p>The object should be translated and rotated to fit the container - but not modified otherwise.</p>
  
  <p>Additional complications:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>The same situation - but look for the best fit solution, even if it's not a proper match (minimize the volume of the object that doesn't fit in the container)</p></li>
  <li><p>Support for elastic objects - find the best fit while minimizing the "distortion" in the objects</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>This is a pretty general question - and I don't expect a complete solution.
  Any pointers to relevant papers \ articles \ libraries \ tools would be useful</p>
