HI,
Do you know of some very useful cabinet design software? I mean i can draw it easily in Sketchup or NX, but what about some dedicated software that speeds the process and has some integrated automation and may be advanced calculation features? May be even for free or not very expensive?
Do you mean kitchen type cabinets or fine hardwood furniture cabinets ?
I mean more- composite boards , so that would be kitchen style i think. Should be able to design wardrobes though. And if can spit the resulting boards on a plane would be ideal.
Thanks Eddy,
The mosaik is something what i could be after, but the price is not for me /150 per month/ . I found http://wooddesigner.org/polyboard-software/ and seems that the software could be for free and if i need the plans and cut files and so, for a specific project , then a pro revises my job and they give me the job plans for ~100gbp. Quite reasonable in fact.
I will try this and that from your second link, thanks!
I didn't notice it was 150 per month, thought it was 150 to buy, sorry.
That's an excellent program for the money, very simple and quick.Quote:

I found that one for 65 USD, a bit clumsy and oldfashioned but does the job http://www.cabinetplanner.com/
I am testing it from yesterday and seems quite right for me. For the price is no brainer
The second choice would be the Polyboard, register, download the free version and when needed pay 15GBp for the plans for the CNC job.
Still when have time have to test the Polyboard and the Cabinetpartspro.
Wouldn't a be any choice for me really.? Ok if one off job but not if using often.Quote:

Very limiting to me and £15 is lot of money for what is simple operation of just generating G-code.! . . . . . Bloody hell I'd be rich if i'd charged £15 for every time I've knocked some code up for some one. . Lol
Agree there Dean, but having in mind that i will do this once or twice an year and make profit at least 1000 for every job, 15 gbp are irrelevant.Quote:

If i can draw fast and present fast the design, that is what really matters
