Your CabinetShop Series system can produce these custom profiles without special tooling. Start by designing the part in eCabinet Systems. It’s quite easy to do. Then send it to your CabinetShop machine. When the Thermwood control learns that you do not have a proper shaped tool to make the part, it automatically creates a modeling program to make the part using standard modeling tools. It uses a ball nose, flat bottom and liner tool to machine the shape by moving back and forth along the profile, shifting over a little each pass. A typical 8’ molding can be machined in 10-15 minutes this way. Although this is slower than using a shaped tool, it is a lot faster and less expensive than waiting for a special tool, especially when you only need a few pieces. Just think, total freedom to make any profile you want in minutes instead of days. This is an exclusive, patent pending feature of Thermwood that offers you a valuable new capability. It is also another example of Thermwood’s design software and control software working together to achieve impressive results. |
