Case Study: Lohmann Woodcarving Company achieves faster digital woodcarving and complex 3D/4-axis machining with MecSoft Corporation’s RhinoCAM

Lohmann Woodcarving Company - Customer Case Study

Lohmann Woodcarving Company, a woodcarving business with decades of experience, faced the challenge of needing a more robust and intuitive CAM program to machine complex 2, 3, and 4-axis toolpaths for its projects. The owner, Jim Lohmann, sought to integrate digital technology to speed up the hand-finishing process of his intricate carvings, which included architectural details and furniture.

MecSoft Corporation provided its RhinoCAM software, which enabled Lohmann to easily program and machine complex 3D mesh models sculpted in ZBrush. The solution utilized both 3-axis strategies for a large decorative panel and positional 4-axis machining for detailed columns on a fireplace mantel project. As a result, Lohmann Woodcarving successfully evolved its craft with state-of-the-art digital technology, with the owner stating that RhinoCAM is user-friendly, intuitive, and has done everything he has ever asked of it.
