Thread: Door machining software?

I use ProfileLab. It's great if you cut the same file over and over - just press start on the router

Thx for that I'll give them a look see

a little bit off topic, but I am making some largeish solid timber doors at work at the moment. You know 80mm deep big tenon etc. They don't have a bandsaw, so guess what, they used the CNC to cut the tenons. Technology eh, next they will be slicing veneers with lasers.

We use enroute as our nesteing package and there is an add on component that will do doors but I was wondering what else is out there.

Have you checked out V-Carve Pro, and Vectrics associated packages, Cut-3D and Photo V-Carve?

They're fantastic, and incredible value. Try the demo. I'm nothing to do with them, just a very very happy customer. They can be used in combination with Vector Art 3D's relief models, and I know lots of people are using V-Carve Pro to make beautiful carved hardwood doors. I've used it myself for cabinet doors. Plus they have fantastic support and a very active and friendly online forum.

Anyway, here's the site: http://www.vectric.com/
