The board cutting control module can be purchased alongside the Manufacturing preparation.

In the first step, when selecting the specific material under the Basic components, you need to set the exact board size and rotatability for solid colours.

In the Manufactoring preparation, after selecting the furniture, click on the board cutting machine control outputs    icon to open a new export window.

In the first row, select the machine type or the control program.

In the second row of the pop-up window, set the root directory of the board cutting program. Data will be saved to the appropriate folders. This selection only needs to be made once, the program will remember the setting.

In the third row, use the drop-down menu to select whether to send material, color, or both to the control program.

After setting up, click the    button. In the pop-up window, you can modify the save name; by default, it offers the room name saved in Piper.

After saving, the number of processed elements will appear.

After exporting, the data will be saved in two places: the Piper3D > Data > listak folder and the corresponding folders of the set control program root directory.

If the list contains corpus and front materials with the same color code, they will be merged in the control program.

After opening the machine control program, you only need to select the material chosen for optimization.
