Case Study Gallery: VisiCAD
A Malaysian company specializing in luxury office furniture uses the MicroScribe, VisiCAD, and Alphacam to create molds. Except when completing their own designs, they get a sample from customers and have to make the mold to press laminated wood. The process is shown below.
The MicroScribe was purchased through Twinsoft: http://www.twinsoft.com.tw

|
1. The original sample was taken out of a luxury chair and was secured on the middle wooden stand. |
|
 |
|
2. Grid lines were drawn on the sample and a point was taken at each intersection on the grid with the MicroScribe 3DL. VisiCad was then used to construct the surface and build the core and cavity.
|
|
 |
|
3. The cavity was machined with a 4-axis router vertically. Alphacam was used to generate the toolpath.
|
|
 |
|
4. The core was machined with a titling head (4-axis continuously machining). Alphacam was used to generate the toolpath.
|
|
 |
|
5. The complete mold was put onto the pressing machine ready for production.
