User-friendly operating interface
BoardMaster's WYSIWYG interface shows all milling and drilling data as well as the size of the base material. Simple mouseclicks rotate and move layouts, as well as creating step-and-repeat copies of layouts on the workpiece. BoardMaster constantly displays process status.
Intelligent tool management
LPKF BoardMaster controls all tool parameters, such as feed rate and tool RPM. BoardMaster monitors bit life and prompts for a tool change at appropriate times. Tool changes are kept at a minimum by BoardMaster's optimizing monitoring process. |
