Hexagon brings digital precision to manufacturing

With Cabinet Vision manufacturers can create detailed 3D assemblies of kitchens, wardrobes and customised furniture while defining materials, hardware and construction standards with accuracy.

In today’s environment, digital adoption has become essential rather than optional. Hexagon, a global leader in digital reality and manufacturing intelligence, is helping wood manufacturers modernise their operations with solutions such as Cabinet Vision and AlphaCAM. These technologies enhance precision, reduce waste and give businesses greater control over production.

Cabinet Vision has established itself as a leading platform for modular and panel-based furniture manufacturing. It brings design, costing and CNC machining into a single integrated workflow, streamlining the entire production cycle from concept to execution.

Manufacturers can create detailed 3D assemblies of kitchens, wardrobes and customised furniture while defining materials, hardware and construction standards with accuracy. The software automatically generates cut lists, BOMs, manufacturing drawings and machine-ready NC code, significantly reducing manual effort.

This level of automation improves throughput, enhances consistency and delivers measurable material savings. For businesses operating with limited skilled labour or high production volumes, these advantages translate directly into stronger competitiveness and fewer errors on the shop floor.

For manufacturers working with solid wood or non-linear geometries, Hexagon’s AlphaCAM provides advanced CAD/CAM capabilities for 2D, 3D and 5-axes machining. It supports a wide range of applications including doors, windows, mouldings, stair components, carved panels and bespoke furniture.

With powerful toolpath control and realistic simulation, AlphaCAM ensures right-first-time machining even on complex jobs. Its nesting engine further enhances material utilisation, reducing waste and lowering overall production costs.

Together, Cabinet Vision and AlphaCAM create a complete digital ecosystem for the woodworking industry. This combination helps manufacturers scale efficiently, eliminate workflow bottlenecks and maintain consistent quality across different product types.
