Hi Grover,

There seems to be some confusion here.

If you  are asking how to cut only panels using Optinest, this must be done on a nesting machine.

If you use a P2P machine you don’t need Optinest and Polyboard will output the machine file directly for the machine in tcn for Vitap, cid/cix Biesse, mpr for Homag, pgm, for SCM, etc.

DXF would be used for other machines in this case you will need CAM software like Vcarve and the process would be the same as for Optinestt

Using P2P you need to cut the panels before putting them on the cnc. For this you shoud use a panel or cnc saw and Opticut.

Hello Ness,

Sorry for the confusion. My boss said he’s asking about PTP router and not on nesting. Is this possible as well?

Thanks,

Grover

Hi Grover,

On the Polyboard output page, 

https://wooddesigner.org/suppo…..os/output/

Have a look at these videos:

– Polyboard to CNC Solution, an example of using Vcarve with Polyboard and Optinest 

-Using Polyboard with Alphacam, an example of using AlphaCam with Polyboard DXF files

You can see from both examples that using Polyboard DXF files with these CAM packages there is practically no manual manipulation of the Polyboard out put needed.

Best regards,

Ness

Hello Ness,

My boss wanna ask if you could give us a video sample for this? Because TPA-TCN CAD can’t do this automatically.

Thanks,

Grover.

Hi Grover,

If you use Vcarve or similar CAM you don’t have to remove anything, it’s all automatic.

You just open the Optinest file in Vcarve apply tool template and send to CNC.

There is no work and no manipulation of the files just click 3 buttons.

Best regards,

Ness

Hello Ness,

My boss said that if we are going to remove outline one by one on CAM, it would cost us a lot of time. Do we have other way to achieve this without removing the machining on Polyboard?

Thanks,

Grover

Hi again,

With most professional CAM software you can set up automatic tool pathing selecting only the elements you need to machine. In this case you just load the Optinest file and create the machine file.

We sell Vcarve for this, see here:

https://wooddesigner.org/vcarv…..-software/

Vcarve is a very powerful CAM solution that integrates easily with Optinest for a very reasonable price.

all the best,

Ness

Hi Ness,

Does this include removing grooves and other tooling? Is it easy to ignore machining or do we need to set it on each panel one by one on the cam software? Can you suggest a software for this?

Thanks,

Grover

Hi again,

Yes it’s very easy to use Optinest for cutting. You can either just tool path the outlines and ignore the machining in the CAM software or create a Polyboard method that eliminates the machining before exporting to Optinest.

all the best,

Hello Ness,

My boss said wants OptiNest for calibration cut only. Without drilling and grooving operation. Is this easy to set things?

Thanks,

Grover
