ArtCAM CabinetMaker Getting Started

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/292710.html
Working alongside ArtCAM Insignia, ArtCAM Cabinetmaker
provides a fully automated Nested-Based Manufacturing software
solution for makers of custom furniture and cabinetry. ArtCAM
Cabinetmaker combines a very simple user-interface with exceptional
calculation speed, providing an effortless and efficient progression
from design to manufacture.
Using layered DXF files originating from a variety of CAD systems,
including the popular KCDw Cabinetmakers software, ArtCAM
Cabinetmaker nests vector artwork representing each of the cabinet
components across multiple sheets, grouping them according to
material and thickness.
ArtCAM Cabinetmaker then generates optimised toolpaths using predefined
templates, assigning any combination of machining strategy,
cutting tool and machining parameters to each of the DXF layers that
make up the design.
The calculated toolpaths can be simulated, if required, before being
sent to the machine. More than 180 machine tool control options are
supported, including those that offer automatic tool changing.
ArtCAM Cabinetmaker generates sheet reports for your nested design
and outputs panel label data compatible with several third-party
labelling packages, thus streamlining the entire process for the
machine operator.
