SOLID MANUFACTURING
Planit NC CenterPlanit NC Center is a core product that is fully integrated with Cabinet Vision and Cabnetware. Geometry and machining data from Cabinet Vision and Cabnetware is automatically generated for virtually any CNC machine on the market. The NC Center solution is capable of nesting, optimization, and able to generate machine ready G-code for saws, point-to-point machines, as well as CNC routers.
Planit NC Center BenefitsPlanit offers the industry’s only fully integrated software solution for Screen-to-Machine™. Our technology generates the machine ready code for customer products as they are designed. This intelligent joinery saves enor-mous machine “programming” time when compared to older manual systems. Planit’s Convergence Technology™ feature allows for sorting of parts per machine and per batch. This feature enables control over which parts are released to a particular machine and on what time sequence.
Nested Based ManufacturingNested Based Manufacturing (”NBM”) is a manufacturing process that allows shops to improve production time, quality and material yield. The real benefits of NBM are that these improvements can be done with one machineand one software product. Whether a shop is building complete custom products or producing batches or irregular shaped parts, NBM offers significant production advantages: One machine and one machine operator can process irregular shaped parts, MDF cabinet doors,parts with holes and dadoes, and other vertical opera-tions all in one cycle. Planit offers outstanding small part handling for nested based manufacturing allowing maxi-mum material usage. Planit’s “onion skin and return onion skin” technology for small parts provides maximum vacuum hold-down, while maintaining superior edg e finish.
Work Cell ManufacturingNC Center outputs detailed part information to NC Panel Saws and Point-to-Point machinery. NC Center can generate accurate drawings, panel optimization, bar-coded parts, labels and layered DXF files for seamless CNC integration.
