CNC from sketchup

[vesthardt]

Hi guys

I have looked and looked, but cannot seem to find an answer anywhere. I have the plans for the OTop12 J-array and Titan48. I currently own 4 titan48, but we are upgrading with 8 otops in jarray and 4 titans extra. Since we are building 12 cabinets it is a lot easier to just get it cut on cnc.

My question: Can i simply take the models from the included sketchup files and lay out the panels on sketchup, then export to dxf and go from there? Or do i have to actually build every part to make it more accurate. Even though i believe that bill would make the models as accurate as possible, i am asking because i am not a big cnc guy

Hope you can help, and peace!

I've used a autoCAD and a CNC in the past to build cabs. You would have to cut one, make adjustments then cut the rest (still making adjustments along the way if you truly want to make it snap together). You will still have to add angles to the edges.

If you have unlimited access to a CNC it has its advantages, but it would be a lot of trouble otherwise.

My 2 cents.

Thanks for the input!
The only problem with that is that the parts are pretty much spread oit unevenly between 13 sheets of plywood. Cutting it one panel type at a time would be a hazzle.
