Cabinet Vision is the only fully integrated design-to-production CAD/CAM CNC solution for the woodworking industry. This is not just about selling a software application to a customer – it is concerned with contributing a realistic business solution for their manufacturing processes.
Cabinet Vision has all the options necessary to provide seamless integration from design to machine, including optimisation, bar code labelling and computer-aided design – Cabinet Vision does it from start to finish without the need to export to other programs. This completely automated design and manufacturing ability reduces design times, improves accuracy and cuts material wastage, enabling improvement in efficiency, productivity and profit.
A series of set-up wizards allows the manufacturer to set up the system to its preferred working systems, including such items as construction methods, report layouts and quotation preferences. The adaptability of the software enables any unit to be changed at any time. This could be a simple change of handle or a complete change to the exterior or interior but, whatever the change, Cabinet Vision updates the graphic display and the cut list automatically, eliminating design errors.
Cabinet Vision’s range of ‘Solid’ software offers options allowing entry at all levels, with the ability to add other modules and optional plug-ins as required. This means the manufacturer can design and present everything, from custom cabinets to complex joinery, producing optimised cutting lists and detailed part drawings, material requirements, costs and estimates – at component, cabinet or room level.
Based on a 3D modelling principle (what you see is what you get), any furniture manufacturer, from a small workshop to a large production plant, can automate and integrate its design and manufacturing process to save design time, eliminate mistakes, increase accuracy and productivity, and reduce material wastage. There are no limitations to the design possibilities, just one program to design and present everything from individual pieces of furniture to complex joinery products, while producing optimisation and layered DXF files for CNC machine output.
Solid Design is the first entry level program. This is for the smaller cabinet or furniture maker and allows the design of rooms using pre-set catalogues to produce rendered plans, perspectives and elevations, together with quotations and cabinet lists. The next level, Solid Lite, can also produce cutting lists, material requirements and order entry.
Solid Manufacturing is probably the most popular package, adding powerful engineering capabilities. These include detailed cross-sectional and exploded assembly drawings, fully dimensioned part drawings and a list of bar coded labels for every part. You can also batch separate jobs for better panel optimisation and production schedules. Solid CNC allows all the cutting lists from Solid Manufacturing to be transferred to the cutting machines.
Optional extras throughout these ranges include Photovision for photographic technology in presentations; time and cost savings with Optimiser; and Woodwizard to produce any 3D object using simulated work tools such as a lathe or router to produce unique mouldings.
Solid Pro is the final and the most comprehensive package. The industry’s first fully integrated package has all the benefits of all the packages to maximise time and cost savings and improve profit.
Cabinet Vision offers the furniture manufacturer a total business solution to secure business and produce furniture quickly – and cost-effectively improve productivity and profit.
