CADCAM showcased at woodworking show
An
Alphacam product story

Apr 6, 2007
The centrepiece of the Alphacam's presentation at the Ligna 2007 International Timber and Woodworking Show will be Alphacam V7.
Alphacam will be highlighting its latest CAD/CAM technology on Stand E36 in Hall 26 at the forthcoming Ligna 2007 International Timber and Woodworking Show to be held in Hannover, 14th-18th May.
The centrepiece of the company's presentation will be Alphacam V7, the most recent release of its advanced CAD/CAM software for joinery applications.
Alphacam V7 includes enhancements to the system's geometry creation, feature recognition and machining style capabilities.
Other dedicated software modules ensure the fast and accurate manufacturing of doors, windows, cabinets and panels.
It is suited to joinery applications ranging from 2D fascia doors to complex five-axis furniture parts.
Included in the Alphacam range is a new Alphacam Part Modeller option.
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, a 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 a NBM (nested based manufacturing) system, 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 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 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.
