A CNC panel saw coupled with a machining center is the most common production arrangement for higher volume cabinet production. Nested based machining is more productive in lower volume shops but hasn’t offered enough throughput for larger shops. Thermwood offers a way to combine the best of both approaches to achieve even higher throughput and higher productivity.

Thermwood, an industry leader in nested based manufacturing, offers software and total system solutions to efficiently design and build custom cabinets and furniture. Thermwood supplies the industry with advanced cabinet design software, called eCabinet Systems, free of charge to professional woodworking shops and cabinet/closet manufacturers. This widely used software outputs to panel saws, automated cut-off saws and Thermwood CNC Routers. Thermwood CNC Routers are also compatible with most major CAD and CAD/CAM software programs.

Thermwood CNC routers utilize an advanced next generation CNC control and advanced networked, intelligent servo drives, a combination that offers valuable features, available from no one else, that have a significant impact on productivity, throughput and profit. For example, the control can combine programs from a variety of popular design software in different formats and nest them in a single job automatically creating the CNC program needed to machine all the parts.

Thermwood offers our eCabinet Systems nested based customers free access to a Production Sharing Network where they can sell excess capacity to thousands of eCabinet Systems shops throughout the world, further increasing payback and profit.

Thermwood CNC machining centers are engineered using the most advanced CAD/CAM and structural analysis software. All weldments are fully stress relieved & the final machine is calibrated using three-dimensional volumetric compensation.

Thermwood is a US company with distributors worldwide and provides extensive and complete support, installation, training & ongoing service including custom programming and production assistance.
