CNC router items of interest

Yani in building mode... he *** at drawing and as accuracy goes he needs a computer. A pencil snapper that can't draw a straight line. Lucky for the tools, like a laser level.

A router "look at those oh so cute joins"

So I did a month of homework and found a few things that are interesting and curious.

Every wonder how these kitchen companies do the software? Do they draw it up on Autocad from home grown templates?

NUP the whole thing is a package from shop front to shop back.

"Exports to Paperless Shop" It is a parts list but I suspect it includes billing components.

If doors and drawers are your company’s specialty, KCD Software’s Doors Plus is a stand-alone, template design software to communicate with your nested based CNC router.

Hundreds of templates are included in the software like doors, drawer fronts and dovetail drawer boxes. It’s also easy to create your own one-of-a-kind custom templates. Parametric tool paths can be assigned for your multiple tool operations. Create your own custom libraries for doors, drawers, wine racks, fluted pilasters, valances and more for traditional and CNC manufacturing.

Doors Plus includes over 300 ready-to-use custom component templates. The order-entry system makes it easy to enter your custom items and modify details on the fly. Doors Plus gives you more custom product capacity, flexibility and efficiency than ever before.

What's interesting is the narrow vertical market and the end to end nature of the software.

  • I think Bobby miss3ed the point completely.

    No. I didn't. David said the sign industry is moving in the direction of these hand held routers. That's not true. A device like a Shaper Origin may be great for doing wood-working tasks. But in a commercial sign company that kind of device is not a substitute at all for a real routing table and software to completely control the router bit along the cutting path as well as the plunge depth.
