Case Study: Norwich Technical High School prepares students for woodworking careers with Hexagon's ALPHACAM and CABINET VISION

The Norwich Technical High School Carpentry Program uses ALPHACAM and CABINET VISION to prepare students for careers in woodworking

Norwich Technical High School sought to prepare its carpentry students for modern manufacturing careers by integrating industry-relevant CNC technology into its curriculum. The school partnered with vendor Hexagon to implement its ALPHACAM and CABINET VISION software solutions to teach students computer-aided design and manufacturing.

By using Hexagon's software, students gained hands-on experience programming a CNC router, which helped them learn to plan and execute projects. The visualization tools in CABINET VISION were particularly valuable for teaching construction details. The solution ensured graduates were in high demand, giving them a competitive advantage for manufacturing jobs due to their experience with Hexagon's industry-standard tools.
