How Lapas helps your operation
Panel optimization
Nest cabinet carcass parts, drawer fronts, shelves, and doors on full sheets — one job, all parts.
Grain direction control
Lock part orientation to respect wood grain direction on face-visible components.
SVG support for sign shops
Import SVG artwork and text outlines from Illustrator or Inkscape — common workflows for CNC sign cutting.
Configurable bit diameter
Set router bit diameter as kerf width to ensure correct part spacing for the actual tool being used.
Mixed panel sizes
Nest across standard 2440×1220mm sheets and custom panel sizes — handles remnants automatically.
Export to VCarve / Aspire
DXF export opens directly in VCarve Pro, Aspire, Fusion 360 CAM, and other CNC router CAM tools.
Specifically built for this workflow
- Import part geometry from VCarve Pro, Aspire, Fusion 360, or any CAD tool as DXF files
- Set grain direction constraints for veneer or face-visible parts to maintain visual consistency
- Configure router bit diameter (typically 3mm–12mm) as the kerf for correct part spacing
- Multi-sheet output: automatically distributes parts across minimum number of full sheets
- PDF cut list useful for quoting material cost and communicating the job to the shop floor
- Browser-based: works on any Windows/Mac workshop computer without additional software
