1 - Introduction
| - | PolyBoard
is an interactive design and manufacturing cabinet software, based
on a powerful methological concept (BOOLE & PARTNERS
exclusivity).
|
||
| - | PolyBoard supports
arborescent cabinet structures, dynamic material
styles and manufacturing methods
lists, and recalculates cabinets in real time.
|
||
|
|||
| - | As modifications proceed, PolyBoard
redraws the cabinet in 2D and 3D, and
recalculates its cutting list
and toolings,
in relation to :
|
||
| - | PolyBoard
supports parametric fitting links, and edits a global
hardware summary as well as a tooling map (drillings and
groovings) for each of the cabinet components.
|
||
| - | PolyBoard’s Post_Processing export function is compatible with most CNC tooling machines. | ||
2 - Main features
2D & 3D ViewsPolyBoard displays the three cabinet 2D views (front, top, and side), and a 3D rendering in relation to material colors and textures. The PolyBoard built-in 3D function offers several predefined views, and various zoom and rotation tools, which help setting the wished 3D view. PolyBoard also offers a DXF 3D_Face export function, compatible with most CAD software, such as AutoCad, VectorWorks, KitchenDraw, etc … |

Cutting Lists:PolyBoard cabinets cutting lists are recalculated in real time, taking into account specified materials, possible oversizings, and plated edges thickness. Cutting lists are exported in OptiCut format, as well as in a «Text» format compatible with most spreadsheets and cutting optimization software. |

Material Styles:
PolyBoard supports a dynamic material style list :
A material style associates a different material to each cabinet
component.
After applying another material sytle from the list, the cabinet is rebuilt instantaneously with this new style’s materials. The same principle applies to edges styles. |
Manufacturing Methods:PolyBoard supports a dynamic manufacturing method list: A manufacturing method defines all the geometrical and mechanical cabinet assembly rules. A manufacturing method also specifies whether the back is applied, slotted, or rabetted, determines recesses and overlaps values, and defines each of the fitting links hardware type. |

Interactive Modifications:Once the cabinet is designed with a material style and a manufacturing method, a «double clic» on a cabinet component will allow its position, its material, or its edges modification. In the same way, a «double clic» on a fitting link will allow its hardware modification. |
Toolings and Hardware:To each fitting link, PolyBoard manufacturing methods associates a hardware type and a positionning rule. Vertical divisions toolings (sides, uprights, and verticals) follow regular drilling groups rules, such as type 32. PolyBoard edits a global cabinet hardware summary, and a tooling map for each of the cabinet components. |

Post_Processor:PolyBoard’s Post_Processor is compatible with most CNC tooling machines. PolyBoard generates a parametric DXF format (colors, line styles, and layer names), as well as WoodWop MPR (Weeke), PanelCam ECP, BiesseWorks CID (Rover) formats. |
