Polyboard is a unique & powerful tool for
designing and manufacturing built in furniture.
In the kitchen industry Polyboard really excels
allowing you quick and easy custom kitchen
design.
Unlike other software packages that are based on
predefined cabinet libraries, Polyboard gives
you the full control over the manufacturing and
construction of your cabinets
Polyboard does it all: Compete cut-lists for all
materials. If you’re using a cnc you have full
control of part shaping, boring cut-outs and
other machining - all in 3D with 100% accurate
costings for each component right down to the
last screw!
Polyboard lets you decide how you
want to build your
cabinets.
While many kitchen design programs come
with predefined libraries and a set of
options to modify them. Polyboard has
a different approach. It simply allows
you to create virtually any cabinet that
can be made out of flat panels quickly
and easily.
You can define predefined cabinet styles
and manufacturing methods that will
allow you to create cabinets from
scratch very quickly, or build one
cabinet, duplicate it, make changes and
watch you’re own personalised kitchen
cabinet library grow in next to no time!
Special Cabinets:
Special cabinets are easy in Polyboard in fact this will be the main reason you will be grateful that you chose Polyboard! While most kitchen carcass cabinets are standard there are many jobs that call for the kind of flexibility that Polyboard users take for granted! Easy create special cabinets such as: o Display cabinets, with timber frame or aluminium frame doors (and get a cutting list for the frame and glass) o Shadow line cabinets with cut-outs for rails, and adjustments for finger pulls. o Oven cabinets and Range hood cabinets with appropriate allowances for ducting. o Cabinets with external voids or cabinets that fit around building columns easy with just a few clicks o Curved open shelving o Overhead hamper cabinets with bi-fold or lift doors Automatically produce detail dimensioned part drawings showing the location of all required boring. If you have a CNC machining centre these parts can be sent directly to your machine in standard formats for Weeke, Homag, Biesse, SCM as well as standard 3D DXF drawings.

We also have a kitchen
cabinet library available
with some example
kitchens designed. These
are freely available, so
you are welcome to use
and adapt them to suit
your needs. We can get
you going very quickly
using these but as no one
builds cabinets the same
as everyone else, we
recommend you take the
Polyboard advantage and
set your own library. And
of course remember we
are always here to help!

external, internal or even half / half
Overhead wall cabinet
with bi-folding doors
and stay
Cabinet with void for corners with
columns or pipes. In Polyboard its only a
couple of clicks to create this fully
parametrically, just specify the panels
and the void dimensions.
Shadow-line cabients are easy in Polyboard,
Position the cut-out for rails on your panels
fully parametrically in any shape, even finger-
pulls on panel fronts can be specified.
Display cabinets with glass doors, easy
specify mitred joints for aluminium or
router machining for MDF frames.
Kitchen cabinet types:
Polyboard offers many standard cabinet shapes that will suit your day to day manufacturing needs, these include the: o The humble square box cabinet o The L shape corner cabinet, o 45 degree angle corner cabinet o Free shape cabinets with multiple panels at any angle. All these cabinets are fully parametric, which means that you can design them to your hearts content, and then at a later date; duplicate and modify the overall cabinet dimensions to use cabinets of the same style and shape but with different dimensions.

Benchtops, End panels, & kick frames
Ancillary parts to a kitchen are all possible to model and create in Polyboard. Bench tops, splash-backs, end panels, filler pieces, kick- boards \ frames, are all easily designed and shown in 3d and properly costed in your job. o Bench tops & splash-backs are easily made in Polyboard joints between sections can be designed including corner mason mitre joints. Bench tops can be modeled as a solid piece like a stone, or as a two part glued up panel comprising a particleboard substrate and a laminate on top. in either case all materials are costed separately by the square metre and total thickness is modeled in 3 Dimensions on screen. Of course as with any panel in Polyboard, bench top with machining such as mason mitres, can be exported to your cnc machine in your desired format.
In Polyboard cabinets can consist of whole cabinets or you can delete
parts to create subsections of cabinets as a result designing end panels
and filler pieces are easy as designing a cabinet with a single panel or two!
o
kick frames can be a single panel if you use plastic support legs
or they can be a whole ladder frame and like laminate bench-
tops if you glue laminate to the front panel it will be fully costed
& displayed. If you normally cut your kickers out of offcuts, The
material can be set to be different from the carcass so that you
can receive a separate cultist for the kickers
← In Polyboard you
are free to place

Shop drawings & renderings :
Polyboard produces nice 3d rendered graphics that will
demonstrate your designs to your customers.,with
full rotation and zoom controls.
In addition to rendered views, manufacturing
workshop drawing are also able to be generated
fully dimensioned, either part or unit by unit or
as a whole complete kitchen.
Polyboard also gives you the option of adding in
your own dimensions to show special features of
your designs i.e. space between cupboard and
doorway or space between a cupboard and a wall
to show that there is adequate space to open
doors.
Parts can be made semi-transparent to show cabinet
internals and there is also a feature to animate the
opening and sliding of doors and drawers.
Reports and Detailed Job
Costing:
While some software packages have
reports and job costings calculations
as optional extras Polyboard comes
with all the manufacturing reports
you need included as standard, in all
version levels.
The detailed costing reports includes and
itemises all the components and materials that
go into your kitchen job. This report will help
you with both understanding the cost of your
job so you are able to quote properly, but it will
also assist you in the ordering of components
from suppliers for each job.
o
All panel materials have a cost /
square metre and thereby Polyboard
calculates total cost for each
material used including surface
laminates like those applied to kick-
boards.
o
Edgebanding is costed by the metre
and total edgebanding used for each
type of tape is calculated and added
up.
o
All hardware fittings are totalled and
costed separately giving you
accurate both knowledge of what
items are in each job, and the total
cost. all items are included;
adjustable shelf support pins,
hinges, drawer runners / sides, and
each and every screw!
A detailed cutting list is available in all levels
even if you use the post processor to export
your parts to your Nesting CNC machine for
cutting you will still be able to print a cultist that
is broken down to individual cabinets. which
would be uses to cut parts that are not cut on
the cnc like kick boards.
Polyboard Also will generate a report that will
itemise all the cabinets used in a job. that
would be useful to be use as a truck loading list
or even for general quoting purposes.
