Production

Location: Top bar → Production

The Production screen has three tabs: Production, Archive, and Created milling tables.

1. Production (active)

Shows all productions that have not yet been manufactured.

Search field	Filters the list by client or project name.
New millingproject button	Above the table. Opens the milling table dialog to start a new milling production.

Table columns

Column	Description

Trash icon	Delete: cancels and removes the production

Cancelling a production

Clicking the trash icon asks for confirmation: "Are you sure you want to cancel this production?" Confirm with Yes, cancel production. This cancels the production order only. The underlying design is not deleted.

note

These are the exact labels LutraCAD shows in the Type column. Milling and 3D-printing outputs share the same list because both production methods run through the same queue.

Milling configuration

LutraCAD allows configuration of multiple tables with different settings. When creating a new production, you can:

• Import insoles or midsoles into the table
• Align items for optimal production
• Configure various settings including:
  • Speeds
  • Contours
  • 1-sided or 2-sided milling
  • Pockets
  • And more

2. Production (archive)

Shows all productions that have already been manufactured.

Table columns

Column	Description
#	Production ID
Type	Production type, see production types above

Project	Project name, click to open the project
Date	Date the production was added
MDR registrations	Count of MDR registrations for this production, click the number to open the MDR documentation overlay
Status	Production status, normally Archived
Open	Reopens the production in the CAD program

MDR registrations

The MDR (Medical Device Regulation) option is enabled in Settings under the MDR tab, where you configure your company details and the required declaration text. Each time a production is exported, one MDR registration is added under that production, so it stays available in the overlay for compliance purposes.

3. Created milling tables

Lists all milling table documents that have been produced.

Table columns

Column	Description
#	Document ID

General production workflow

1. New productions appear in the Production tab.
2. Process the production (3D printing or milling).
3. Once completed, the production moves to the Archive tab.
4. For milling productions, the milling table itself is also listed under Created milling tables.

MDR compliance

Ensure your MDR settings are correctly configured in Settings to maintain regulatory compliance with each production export.
