3D ToolPath

Product details   In Brief

The 3D ToolPath module is a step forward for cabinetmakers requiring seamless links from design to production.  It includes all of the standard 3D Kitchen features such as…

• Custom cabinet library build - we build the cabinet library to suit you and your business. In effect you will have your own unique library
• Ease of use - We understand how important it is to have a program that you can get up and running quickly and operate with the minimum of fuss
• Versatile design ability – 3D Kitchen enables you to construct both cabinet and room design just as you need to present to your customer and to your factory to provide clear unambiguous designs and production details
• Support - The agent that sells 3dkitchen, also performs the installation, provides onsite training, and supports it. You will have the advantage of dealing with one person
• Training - We provide onsite training (Australia and New Zealand only).  This means that you get dedicated training in your environment. This is included in the cost of the product

Additionally you can connect directly to your CNC nesting equipment for fast and accurate production of all your design details including cutting, routing and drilling.  The specific CNC features provided with 3D ToolPath are…

•   Nesting – Firstly 3D ToolPath is NOT machine specific.  This means you can connect to any CNC nesting machine with our software.  The machine choice is up to you.  There are 4 main considerations…

a.  Cutting parts  - 3D Toolpath provides for “True Shape” nesting.  This means that you are getting the maximum yield from your stock sheets.

1. Shaped parts are interlocked to achieve best material yield
2. Additionally 3D ToolPath creates a “small part” strategy which requires small parts to be cut first giving parts stability on your cutting bed.
3. Parts within parts – you can also use cut-outs from larger parts to cut smaller parts lowering your waste even further
4. Onion skinning – If your CNC machine requires this to generate neat and clean cuts, this is a strategy that makes 2 passes to cut your components.  

b.  Cutting strategies – 3D ToolPath produces cutting and drilling sequences automatically to create fast and accurate operations.  You can also place all operations in the order you want them to run.

c.  Customizing – 3D ToolPath does NOT require either macros (difficult and time consuming to create) or the difficult manual creation of parametric programs.  3D ToolPath has a very simple graphical user interface which shows you precisely what your output will be cabinet by cabinet and panel by panel.  Parts templates are NOT required as all shaping and drilling is produced directly from within 3D Kitchen.

d.  RunTime – before you finally send your job to your CNC machine 3D ToolPath gives you the opportunity to view on screen all cabinet and all panels.  Here you can easily and graphically modify ANY operation including such powerful abilities as changing a square panel to any other shape.  So you may for example take a square shelf from a square cabinet and convert it to a U shape.  This type of process is very useful and takes only a few seconds, showing you the precise results on screen.
