The blue line is a line that makes a groove. The red line is a tear line)

1. Enter the size of the material. (In the case of Corrugated Cardboard 3 mm)
2. Set the drill to V-bit and set to cut the blue line by 1 mm.
3. Set to cut the red line at 3.2 mm.
4. Set the hole to be opened with 3.2 mm

Step 2: Cutting Shell Parts

When you have data, cut the material.(In case of shopbot)

Move the shopbot with the data created in Step 1.

Cut out each required number of parts.

Step 3: Cutting Joint Parts
