New custom Front Panel service

Beta LAYOUT has announced the introduction of a new online service designed to enable users to configure their own Front Panel designs and place an order directly online.

As well as providing a free-to-download design software, machining options, material thickness, fonts, colours and finishes are also available. The software is designed to simplify the configuration and ordering of custom Front Panels. There is a choice of standardised construction units (e.g. ventilators, sub connectors) which are available in the software's library. The software calculates the price of the finished Front Panels and once the design is complete, an order can be placed directly through the software itself. Alternatively, DXF files from any CAD program can be converted and processed for a small surcharge. Separate printing and inscription files are required for this option. Various Front Panel materials can be selected from a range of natural or coloured anodised aluminium and plastic (acrylic). Material thickness from 1.5 to 3mm can be selected, while the minimum dimensions possible are 30 x 30mm, up to a maximum of 300 x 460mm.
