Nesting and machine files

Parts are laid out on sheets and machine files are prepared for every sheet.

  • DXF in R2000 format, in millimeters, plus a PDF for every sheet.
  • Layers are named by side, tool, depth and operation type, for example A_Bore 8_D12, B_Flat 6_D8.5_ON, A_TRIM, B_PROFILE.
  • Trim strategies: with a chain and with an edge offset.
  • A G-code post-processor is in development.

The DXF can be opened in Vectric Aspire.

The program interface is currently English-only.

    Cabinets, walls, islands, countertops, 3D view, front and interior editors.

  2. 2

    Drawings and nesting

    Drawing sheets, nesting by sheet, reports and label data.

  3. 3

    Machine files

    A DXF and a PDF for every sheet; layers by side, tool, depth and operation type. Double-sided machining with a sheet flip. Holes cut with a router bit if there is no drilling head. Warnings are checked before export.
