The CNC option enable you to cut your board designs with a shaping machine, thanks to the following features .

• Computation of the cutting path.
• Adapted to 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis machines.
• Spherical, bullnose and disk cutter supported.
• Two types of cutting path : "one side after the other" and "alternate lines".
• Possibility to cut multiple stringers or no stringer at all.
• Viewer to control the cutting path before sending it to the machine.
• Integration of the CNC machine: viewing of the position of the blank related to the machine.
• Blank held by vacuum system on two points, or held by clamps at each ends.
• Acurate position of the board inside the blank.
• Z level change between top and bottom cutting.
• Cutting speed of the machine defined by user on each special point.
• Compatible with most of shaping machine (see CNC pages).
• DXF, GCode, Shopbot, ACL/Data format supported. All others on demand.
• Machine descriptive file is now separate from the board file : a change in the machine parameters (cutter size, nb of lines, etc..) will operate for all the boards.
