Software's material savings are not hot air
At Cameron Balloons the use of Alphacam nesting and manufacturing software has not only dramatically improved material utilisation, but significantly enhanced production throughput as well.
With dedicated modules available to ensure the fast and accurate manufacture of doors, windows, cabinets, stairs and panels, Alphacam V7 is the benchmark CAD/CAM system for joinery applications ranging from 2D fascia doors to complex five-axis stair handrails.
The new version builds on the strengths of earlier releases - and Alphacam's position as an Autodesk Unique Application Reseller.
It also provides close integration with Alphacim, the company's powerful business management system for the woodworking industry, as well as direct links to Cabinet Vision, the leading design system for kitchen, bedroom and office cabinet furniture.
Cabinet Vision has integrated Alphacam into its SolidCAM machining option, enabling NC code for hundreds of nested parts on hundreds of sheets to be produced automatically for virtually any CNC routing machine.
The combination provides the most advanced NBM (Nested Based Manufacturing) system on the market today.
Furthermore, 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. Request a free brochure from Alphacam ...
