Polyboard Pro PP includes a range of post processors to output the files that your CAM software needs to run your CNC machine. What's really good about the post processors in Polyboard is that you can configure them to match your specific machine's set up. That means you don't have to make any adjustments in your CAM software, you just import the files from Polyboard to automatically create the code to run your machine. This saves a lot of time.

These elements include panel and bar materials, edging, hardware and 3D accessories. Manufacturing methods are highly flexible style sheets that allow you to very quickly apply these components across all parts of your projects and without any errors. This video provides an overview of the system, and shows you how application of manufacturing methods is much more efficient than editing parts one at a time.
