Own a CNC? Still using the stock
spreadsheet design application
to produce your cabinets? Read

Over the last (almost) two years since we
started promoting our software range to
Australian cabinetmakers and joiners we have
noticed that that among recent adopters of
CNC routers for cutting and nested based
manufacturing there is a significant trend
towards customers favouring Biesse supplied
cnc machines.
From what we can tell part is due to the brand
recognition and reputation, but another part is
due to Biesse making the entry cost of CNC
lower by supplying together with its machines.
Traditionally when a customer was looking at
buying a new CNC, in addition of the machine
itself, they also had to consider the additional
cost of design software on top of the machine
cost. This obviously raises the bar and makes
a bigger entry barrier for smaller companies
facing the prospect of large financing loans to
get into CNC and the befits to production that
it brings.

February - March 2013
Welcome to the second Newsletter for 2013. As
promised last month we have continued work on
our industry specify information pages so that you
can clearly see how our design and optimisation
software will benefit you in your specific industry.
So this month we have completed the custom
kitchen design page. This is an important one for
us as we know custom kitchens represents a
significant proportion of the work that custom
cabinetmakers and joiners produce, So you will
see the benefit that our special application
Polyboard has to offer the custom kitchen
industry.
Next we have a new article in our Blog section
that is focused on those cabinetmakers who are
using a spreadsheet based cabinet design
application like the one supplied by Biesse with
Biesseworks \ nest. Although focused on Biesse
machines Its relevant for anyone still using a
spreadsheet design application as it goes through
the benefits that would be gained by those
designers moving up to a full 3d visual design
package like Polyboard. There is really no reason
to stick with outdated spreadsheets, as Polyboard
gives everyone access to advanced features at a
very reasonable cost.
Lastly we have a reminder about the special we
are offering on a combined Polyboard / Opticut
package deal that will end on the 28 of February.

Did You Know?
As of late last year the new version of
Polyboard includes a full featured measuring
tool. The measuring tool can be used to easily
find the distance between cabinets, or
cabinets and walls.
The tool enables the user to easily take
horizontal, vertical and even 3 dimensional
measurements. This makes it very easy to be
able to set the size of cabinets and also the
determine gaps than need to allocate d for
appliances and also to check spaces for
opening of cupboard doors.
The dimensions that are shown when using
the tool can be temporary (red colour) just to
see the value or they can be made permanent
(green colour) and will be added to the
dimensioned workshop drawing. To make a
dimension permanent simply right click the
dimension label and select ‘Permanent
dimensions’ from the menu.
