Case Study: GMIT Letterfrack achieves global recognition and worldwide graduate employment with Vero Software’s Cabinet Vision and Alphacam

Whole New Dimension Cabinet Vision and Alphacam Contribute to Global Recognition

GMIT Letterfrack (The Furniture College) is a national centre for furniture design and wood technology education that needed to prepare students for a modern, technology-driven woodworking industry. The challenge was to integrate traditional craft values with industry-standard CAD/CAM tools and machinery so graduates would be skilled, adaptable and readily employable in commercial production environments.

By embedding Cabinet Vision and Alphacam—alongside Homag machinery—throughout the curriculum (from second-year CAD/CAM briefs to advanced solid modelling, Screen to Machine NC output, Label-I.T. and G‑code instruction), the college gave students practical, industry-ready skills. The result is global recognition for the programme and strong graduate outcomes: students secure placements and jobs worldwide, across small workshops to large manufacturers, and can quickly solve real-world woodworking and production challenges.
