Advanced CAD/CAM for the woodworking industry
Alphacam's advanced CAD/CAM software has been fundamental to the success of one of Ireland's leading architectural woodworkers.
The easy to use 3D solid modeller enables constraint driven and parametric designs to be created in an ideal 3D format for furniture design and other wood applications.
Its integration with Alphacam V7 provides new and existing customers with a wealth of new functionality and design opportunities.
V7 builds on the strengths of earlier releases.
It also provides direct links to Cabinet Vision the leading design system for kitchen, bedroom and office cabinet furniture.
Visitors to Ligna will see how Cabinet Vision provides photorealistic 3D representations of finished products or even complete room sets - and then automatically converts them to NC code for hundreds of nested parts on hundreds of sheets, if required.
Cabinet Vision integrates Alphacam within its SolidCAM software to provide the most advanced NBM (nested based manufacturing) system on the market today, along with post-processors to support virtually any CNC routing machine.
Components with complex designs can be transferred quickly and seamlessly from Cabinet Vision to Alphacam for intricate detailing operations to be carried out, such as the engraving of logos, motifs or graphical designs.
Also on show on Alphacam's stand will be its US-developed Jobsite Companion, a software tool specifically designed to run on hand held PDA devices.
This novel application enables cabinetmakers to input room and cabinet dimensions on site, take notes, mark electrical outlets, attach digital photographs and subsequently download this information directly into their Cabinet Vision design to manufacturing system.
