In the past, we supported CNC routers via a link to other CAD/CAM software packages, where we would output DXF files to that software, and then the CAD/CAM software would generate the necessary g-code to run a given CNC router.  We soon found that this method of exporting to another software package was complicated, highly inefficient, expensive, and prone to errors - especially when either our software or the CAD/CAM software released an update!  So in late 2004, we looked for a better solution.

The solution we sought was for Cabinet Pro CNC Software to produce the g-code directly from the cutlist and panel optimized parts so that a CAD software package was not necessary.Cabinet making programs for CNC machine(A Complete Design and CNC Software Solution) download	Cabinet making programs for CNC machine(A Complete Design and CNC Software Solution) download 	  	So no longer is another piece of software required to produce CNC code, for we have succeeded in bypassing the exporting of DXF files to CAD/CAM and have eliminated the need for DXF files altogether!  Cabinet Pro CNC does not require two or more distinct software packages to take you from design to bidding to cutlists to optimization, and finally, to your CNC machine.

So we are very happy to offer a truly unified approach to CNC machining with a single software program that produces 3D Renderings, shop drawings, bids, cutlists, panel optimization, and the g-code to run your CNC machine!  The ramifications of this unified approach to provide CNC code without the need for additional software are numerous, and shown below.



Advantages of Handling Design, Cutlists, Bidding, Optimization, and CNC in One Program

  Compatibility problems with other programs are completely eliminated!
  There is no need for the user to purchase another program, thus saving somewhere between $5,000 and $12,000
  Only one program needs to be learned and maintained, rather than two or three.
  Technical Support is handled by one company, rather than two.
  If there are problems with the g-code produced, there is no blaming another software program....the "buck stops here", and the problem is owned by Cabinet Pro.
  Speed and efficiency are increased significantly.
  Because the material for a cabinet is defined when a cabinet is first made, there is no need for double entry and we can automatically and very easily increase or decrease the various speeds of the CNC router based upon the material assigned to a given part of any particular cabinet.
  In like manner, we can vary the width of a dado cut automatically, based upon the current thickness of the part that fits into that dado.  This is very useful because the thickness of each batch of sheet goods that are received in the shop will vary by up to a 1/32nd of an inch!  This is not a problem because the width of cut automatically adjusts for the new thickness.
  Enhancements to the CNC operation, as well as design, bidding, and cutlisting enhancements, are all handled within a single software program.  There is no need to go through the administrative channels of two separate companies that may have different opinions of what enhancements are appropriate and which are not.

The CNC Operation, as processed by Cabinet Pro

When Cabinet Pro produces a cutlist, the panels are simultaneously sent to the Panel Optimizer which produces the G-Code Code behind the scenes to operate your CNC router.  The Cuts that are made automatically, depending upon your setup, are as follows:

  Straight Dado cuts of any width and depth
  Match the grain AND grain direction of doors and drawers on a given panel.
  Match grain for doors separately from drawers, or match doors and drawers together.
  Drilling patterns where the holes are of the diameter of the tool being used, and the depth is variable
  Circular plowing cuts, which are essentially holes larger than the bit's diameter
  Arcs defined by two end points and an arc height
  Horizontal Boring (at additional charge)
  Up to two passes per part cut-out, where a thin skin may be left to maintain vacuum hold.
  Option to leave cut-out tabs at the corners of parts for single or double pass cut-outs.
  Supports variable speed spindles and tool changers.
  Supports Drilling Heads that are separate from the Spindle.
  Supports Horizontal Boring at additional charge. (See the Horizontal Boring Add-On Module on our Price List).
  Supports clockwise and counter-clockwise part cut-outs.
  Supports Drilling Patterns and machining holes in door panels (See the MDF Door Module for more functionality.)
  Ramping move or straight move as the method of entry when cutting dados or cutting out parts.
  Allows the Post Processor to be user-defined, making the g-code output compatible with the majority of CNC routers.
  Note:  One CNC Post is included in the purchase of any CNC Edition.  If you have two CNC routers, or a router and a panel saw, or later on require another post for the same router, then there is an additional charge for each CNC Post after the first one.

In addition,
  All cuts, arcs, and drilled holes may be referenced from any corner of each part, or from the center of a given part.
  Dados, drilled holes, and arcs may be cut at any angle
  Each cut and drilled hole may be defined as inches, feet, yards, millimeters, centimeters, decimeters, or meters, independently from other cuts and drilled holes.
  Each router tool (bit) may be defined in inches, feet, yards, millimeters, centimeters, decimeters, or meters, independently from other defined tools (bits).
  Cabinet Pro CNC  software supports routers equipped with a tool changer.  (We may need to add some code, for no additional charge, for your particular router.  Check first before purchasing!)
  If you do not have a tool changer, Cabinet Pro CNC allows all dado cuts and drilled holes, regardless of diameter, width of cut, or depth of cut, to be made from the same bit!   This feature can save an immediate $12,000 to $15,000 by eliminating the need for a tool changer!
  Process whole sheets of optimized parts or a single part chosen from a single cabinet.
  Each cutting or drilling operation must be defined per part per cabinet type.  Defining the operations once for an unfinished end belonging to a particular base cabinet, for example, will be defined for all base cabinets of that type, regardless of width, height, and depth.
  When defining a door panel, the panel will be associated with a door style from your door library.  So Cabinet Pro CNC allows parts to be associated with cabinets, as well as with door styles.  (the ability to make MDF doors in Cabinet Pro is an additional charge.)


Do you manufacture face frame or frameless cabinets?  Do you make modular or highly custom cabinets?  If so, then imagine a new way of operating your cabinet shop with Cabinet Pro CNC Software:

  Design kitchens, offices, entertainment centers in 3D Photo Texture mode
  Email or present impressive Photo colored presentations to your customers for their approval.
  Use photos of your own doors, wood grains, appliances, etc., or choose from the hundreds of photos that come standard with Cabinet Pro.
  Make changes in your job, and view the immediate change in your bid.  Globally change all materials used, and see the change in your 3D drawing, as well as in your invoice and cutlist - without any extra effort!
  Print out dimensioned Shop Drawings, Wall Elevations, and Floorplan Views.
  Print out an invoice when you and your customer are satisfied.
  Print out a number of user-defined cutlists, bills of materials, assembly reports.
  View the optimized sheets showing the best layout for your parts made from panel stock.
  Load your CNC router with panel stock and watch the parts be automatically machined and cut out with perfection and efficiency.
