With this untapped opportunity in mind, Rubino and his colleagues developed Router-CIM by adapting the NC Microproducts metalworking package, NC Polaris, to the specific requirements of woodworkers and high-speed CNC machines. Woodworkers talk about grain direction and red oak, while metalworkers are concerned with end mills and hot- or cold-rolled steel." This proved largely unsatisfactory because the two industries have far different concerns and even speak different manufacturing languages. "Those firms investing in CNC machines were forced to modify metalworking packages. Rubino says that at the time of CIM-TECH's founding, the woodworking industry was ill-served in terms of programming tools for CNC machines. Second, the company would strive to become a full-service AutoCAD mechanical dealer.

First, CIM-TECH would provide the worldwide woodworking industry with complete CNC solutions-from PC-based CAD and CAM software to the actual CNC machines. Rubino founded CIM-TECH in the mid-eightees with a twofold charter. If such firms can output IGES, they can take advantage of Router-CIM," continues Rubino. "At the same time, because the AutoCAD engine is embedded within our product, we're able to go after larger companies that are not AutoCAD shops and who could never authorize a straightforward AutoCAD purchase. "AutoCAD OEM technology helped us quickly deliver the new version of Router-CIM at a price point attractive to the growing number of smaller woodworking outfits that are purchasing less expensive CNC machines," explains Frank Rubino, CIM-TECH president. CIM-TECH believes that the AutoCAD OEM version of Router-CIM will help them not only maintain market share among their traditional base of medium-sized woodworking customers, but expand to both large manufacturers and small shops simultaneously.
Router-CIM is even more popular following the launch of the latest release based on the AutoCAD® OEM engine. The manufacturing engineering software used to control the machines on which they are made is very likely to be Router-CIM, the reference-standard CNC woodworking package from CIM-TECH, a noted West Chicago, Illinois, software developer and Authorized Autodesk® Reseller. Furniture and skateboards share something else.
Architecture, Engineering and ConstructionĪs unlikely as it may seem, elegant home furniture produced in North Carolina and the hottest new skateboards and snowboards made in California have something in common: Each are often manufactured using computerized numerical control (CNC) woodworking machines.Architecture, Engineering & Construction.
