Inclusive of the features of 3dkitchen ProDesign and ProCustom plus these additional features:

Produces drilling and routing positions

Produces accurate shaped parts dimensions

Output direct to all CNC nesting machines with complete intuitive machining tool paths

All CNC output can be trapped and manually modified for any reason

Produces “True Shape” nesting to achieve the highest possible material yield
3D Kitchen also provides an MDF door profile production module in conjunction with its CNC|Nesting software

3dKitchen ProToolPath is not machine specific. This means you can connect to any CNC nesting machine with our software. The machine choice is up to you.

Nesting

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

i. true shape nesting - shaped parts are interlocked to achieve best material yield

ii. additionally 3D ToolPath creates a “small part” strategy which requires small parts to be cut first giving parts stability on your cutting bed.

iii. parts within parts – you can also use cut-outs from larger parts to cut smaller parts lowering your waste even further

iv. 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.

v. allows proccessing of single parts if required

vi. allows batching of multiple jobs - this will result in even higher material yields

vii. produces labels for all nested parts, including edging details

viii. allows for any material thickness

ix. processes all materials from a design in a single operation

x. allows for grain in material

xi. force individual part rotation if required

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.

Automatic drawer drilling – change your drawer sizes OR cabinet heights and the drawer drilling positions alter automatically.

Automatic drawer depth  – change your cabinet depths and the drawer base depths adjust automatically to correct drawer specifications.

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.

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.
