The first benefit is industry leading cabinet and furniture design software. This software is developed and maintained at Thermwood and provided to eCabinet Systems Members at no cost. It offers powerful features, many not available elsewhere, and functions well for varied shops building diverse products. Another major benefit of eCabinet Systems is the ability to buy components, hardware, supplies and material direct from major industry vendors at a discount. These purchases are made through the software, which can automatically track items needed for a job and eliminate much of the clerical effort normally associated with purchasing. These sales fund software development.
You can integrate carvings and custom moldings into your designs using eCabinet Systems, then if you have a Thermwood CNC router, you can rent the CNC programs needed to machine the carvings and you can model the custom molding profiles using standard modeling tools, without custom tooling. If you don’t have a Thermwood machine, you can have your parts machined by one of the many Members offering this service through “Production Sharing”, another part of the program. These same people can machine your nested based cabinet parts by simply sending them the CNC output file from the software. When you get your own Thermwood CNC router, you can offer these same services to other Members through our web site and at trade shows. You also have access to sophisticated, high-quality furniture finishes from Valspar, the world leader in furniture finishing, and for the first time in quantities appropriate for custom shops. DVD videos show how to apply each step of each finish. We also have a program called Design Sharing where power users of the software offer entire libraries of cabinet and furniture designs that you can download and use. If you build these designs, you are required to purchase the items needed through the program. Members submitting designs receive compensation based on these sales. Click Here to browse our Design Sharing Libraries. We also have a Professional Design Program where world renowned furniture designers offer eCabinet Systems Members exquisite designs that you can build and sell for a small design fee. eCabinet Systems files are available for these designs and special components and carvings can either be purchased through the program or you can rent CNC programs to make them on a Thermwood CNC router.

It is an all encompassing program that affects every aspect of your business, making you more productive, more competitive and more profitable. It is also an alive, evolving program that changes and adapts to the changing desire and will of its Members. |
