Machining through S2M

Automating the flow from office to your factory

This course will take CABINET VISION users through how to output their project to their CNC with S2M CENTER. This course provides an introduction to using S2M CENTER including what it can do and how it works with your CABINET VISION drawing.

This course follows on from the CABINET VISION eFundamentals Course.

The S2M CENTER eFundamentals is structured around the core skills and knowledge users need to begin the steps of turning their CABINET VISION Project into CNC Ready G-Code. 

Our Planit Instructors step new users through the course, getting you familiar with the different icons and their role. Our aim is to have you well underway of the journey of automating your software with your machine. 

For existing customers, this course is a great refresher to what you already know - and you may even pick up on a new tip or two.  

Students are given 6 months access to this course, allowing for everyone to learn at their pace, but also to go back and refresh your learning as you begin use CABINET VISION and S2M CENTER in your business.
