Polyboard is a unique & powerful tool for standard
furniture ranges and custom fitouts. In the
Office furniture industry Polyboard allows you
to quickly and easily customise office fitouts.
Unlike other software packages that are based on
fixed cabinet libraries, Polyboard gives you the
full control over the manufacturing and
construction process allowing you to create
designer furniture to any specifications.
Polyboard does it all: Great on-screen display
graphics, full control over design and the
ability to export 100% of your design to a CNC
machine with complex part shaping, boring,
cut-outs and other machining - all in 3D with
100% accurate costings for each component
right down to the last screw!
Easily design standard office
furniture
Standard office furniture is a breeze with Polyboard!
Easily create desks credenzas hutches returns,
bookcases and meeting tables in next to no time
Polyboard allows you to define furniture styles and
manufacturing methods that will allow you to
create furniture pieces from scratch very quickly,
or if you prefer to work form a standard library of
items You build one piece say a desk or
bookcase, duplicate it, make changes and watch
you’re own personalised furniture library grow in
next to no time!
Easy design your machining and drilling
requirements. Polyboard has fully parametric
hardware generation no matter what brand fitting
or type Polyboard can set it all up automatically.
Polyboard can easily define hardware such a
edge-boring cams, face bored cams or even fixing
screws. Hinges can be set up to be match the
drilling configuration of any hardware supplier such as
Hettich, Blum, Grass etc..
↓ Desks are easily designed in
Polyboard complete with built in
drawer boxes!
↑ Credenzas with or without hutches can be designed and all
drilling and machining is easily viewable on screen.
Curved and shaped office furniture:
Polyboard offers easy methods for shaping furniture and
parts easily create shaped office furnishings such as:
o
Curved front desks
o
‘P’ - shaped desks
o
Workstations with ‘natural’ work curves
o
shaped cut-outs for cabling and power point
connections
o
Reception desks with multiple panel fronts and
curved side panels.
Once these furniture items are designed. they remain fully
parametric, which means, even though they have complex
shapes that you can still reuse the design for subsequent jobs
by duplicating and modifying the overall dimensions to use
design and shape but with different overall dimensions.

Produces detailed
part drawings →
Design office layouts and
present them to customers
in both 3D rendered as well
as fully dimensioned plan
drawings.
Detailed job costings
↑ Bookcases and meeting tables whether they are square or
rounded can be designed and manufactured. Furniture is
beautifully rendered on screen prior to production.
Polyboard gives you the freedom
to design and be creative in
furniture production easily create
curved products such as bow front
desks and meeting table desks.
Reception desks with
multiple sides such as
this unit with 6 sides
are easily designed in
Polyboard.
↑ Workstations with complex shapes are easily
modeled and manufactured in Polyboard.
↑ Polyboard automatically produces
multiple view drawings of all your
designed items. with views fully
customisable.

Office layout part drawings &
renderings :
Polyboard produces nice 3d rendered graphics
that will demonstrate your office fit-outs to your
customers, with full rotation and zoom
controls.
In addition to 3 dimensional rendered views,
manufacturing plans and dimensioned
drawings are also able to be generated.
Multiple view drawings of furniture items or
complete office layouts are automatically
produced as well as detail individual part
drawings showing all machining requirements.
When design office layouts, 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
desk to show that there is adequate space to
open doors, and move chairs about.
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:
In Polyboard the ability to generated detailed
costing reports comes as standard. This feature
itemises all the components and materials that go
into your fit-out. The reports 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, as well as
pins and cams.
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.
Production add-ons and
Machine connectivity:
Polyboard in addition to the detailed printed reports
Has a very powerful machine post processor. The
post processor is able to produce customised
machining files in a variety of formats: dxf, CID,
XXL, MPR files of all parts. these part files can be
imported by virtually all machines and cam
packages.
While Polyboard can integrate well and connect
easily to third party Sheet optimisers nesting
software and cam software. Users of Polyboard also
have the opportunity to upgrade to our own Nesting
and saw optimisation software Optinest and Opticut.
Having your optimisation software come form a
software export will not only give you better
optimisation results (and money saved) but will give
you loads of extra features that third parts add on
software simply can’t match.
So no matter weather you produce your fit-outs
using panel-saws, beams saws and Point to point
cnc machines or you use the nested based
manufacturing method our range of add-on software
will connect seamlessly to your machine. and have
you working very efficiently.
