Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hello,
of course if you place the particles completely randomly, they can overlap.
An option is to run SpherePack.makeCloud in advance, generating randomly
non-overlaping spheres (of a size to contain each shape). The shapes are
then placed to the centers of the spheres (the spheres are then not used
any more).
You can run some kind of compression if you need denser packing.
Cheers
Jan
