Door Panel Generation, Drawer Panel Generation, Panelmetrix, Software Products

Panelmetrix is a door and drawer panel generating system. The Panelmetrix program consists of various “geometry templates” to produce virtually any style of door and drawer. Panelmetrix allows the entire days orders to be entered via it’s easy to use interface. It then creates an optimized program to machine the complete batch out of MDF sheets. A secondary program is created to machine the backs of windowed panels after the finishing process. The Panelmetrix program optimizes material and tool operations.

Panelmetrix (Base)
Features:	Twenty (20) Base Door Geometries - Slab, Classic, Roman, Sun-Rise, Santa Fe, Half-Arc, V-Line, Country, Heartbeat, Ripple, In-Corner, Cathedral, Diamond Corner, Chamfer Corner, Shaker Classic, Shaker Roman, Shaker In-Corner, Shaker Cathedral, Shaker Chamfer, Italia. The following items are definable by the user and allow for the creation of a virtually unlimited number of variations built on the Base Door Geometries - Depths and Offsets in Tool/Operation groups definable by user. Rail and stile dimensions definable by user. Arc Height definable by user. (where applicable) Window Spacing (mullion width) definable by user.

Options:

Windows & Back Machining

Creates a secondary NC file with appropriate procedures for the machining of the backs of windowed/mullion doors. (All applicable door styles.)

The code produced is not merely a large pocketing routine, but rather specific operations that trim the opening, clear behind the mullions and sizes the overall opening.
The routines will perform a two-step process in order to produce a smooth finish.
Secondary "clear up" pass available to minimize corner radii.
Secondary T-Grooving pass available to create undercut groove for glass retaining "Gasket".

Multi-Panel Option

Allows the user to create larger panels made up of multiple doors styles with control over sizes, spacing and adjustments of rail and stile widths.

Up to six (6) segments in a vertical or horizontal orientation.
Calculates and generates appropriate NC code for back machining of embedded windowed doors, if the Windows & Back Machining Option is enabled.

Valences & Wine Racks

Circle, Square, Diamond and Octagon Wine Racks.

Fixed and automatic calculations.
