Connector machining and hardware totals
Understand what JoinCAD adds to the edited 3MF and the downstream manufacturing project.
Machining stays attached to the parts
JoinCAD writes connector features and machining-vector context into the edited 3MF. CutCAD can then show source machining on the affected parts and carry physical connector counts into project summaries.
- Cabineo operations include the connector housing and matching hole context.
- Zeta operations preserve the selected P-System machining variant and physical connector choice.
- Predrill operations remain pilot-hole metadata rather than visible source solids.
Use Build hardware for purchasing
The JoinCAD summary totals physical connector items from active, validated decisions. Archived or removed reconciliation decisions stay out of machining schedules, hardware totals, and exports.
