Cabinet vision for dummies how to#
He also says it not only prompted Sam Burton to teach himself how to use it, but it is changing the mindset of other employees, too. So Intech decided to invest in Cabinet Vision Solid Ultimate for 3D design, and Screen-To-Machine to send the CNC codes to the Anderson. We only had 2D design software, and it was unrealistic to expect our designer to stay on top of his workload at the levels and accuracy demanded.”
So we could be left with less than a fortnight to actually do the job. “Within that time,” he says, “there could still be two or three weeks before the room is ready for us to carry out our survey, and after we’ve produced the initial design, we may still have to wait another week for final sign-off or amendments to be agreed. Steve usually has a deadline of around six weeks from receiving an order, to the finished furniture being required.

With the average job needing around 150 panels on swift turnaround times, the company realised last year that it needed to upgrade its software to produce accurate designs much quicker than it had been doing previously. Steve says that with less than 3% of its work being repeats, its consoles are almost always completely bespoke – many of them having drop-down levels to accommodate screens – and are required to house computers and video recording equipment. Intech focuses on manufacturing control consoles for customers such as Harrods, Heathrow Airport Terminal 5, local authorities, shopping centres, department store TK-Maxx and the Imperial War Museum. “Because we had Cabinet Vision we were able to continue producing designs which we couldn’t have without it.” “Sam wanted to see what was creating all the magic for our Anderson Stratos CNC router, and within a week he could design whole jobs – which is just as well, as he undertook some urgent design work that came up when our full-time designer was on holiday,” explains Steve. “It’s so easy to use it’s allowed our staff with no training or experience of design software to design and machine parts,” says Steve Mitchell-Yorke, manufacturing manager for Intech Solutions, the Stockport-based designers, manufacturers and installers of innovative technical furniture and control rooms.ĬNC and edgebander operator Sam Burton was so taken with Cabinet Vision that he spent his lunchtimes in the CAD office learning about it.
