Although woodLAB is intended for interior design, in certain niche markets its powerful functionalities can be used where they are not expected. This is the case for the manufacture of Flight Cases in serie or bespoke ones but necessarily on a CNC machine.
woodLAB makes it very easy to design bespoke parametric Flight-Cases using specialized hardware stores such as Penn-Elcom or Adam Hall. Even better, thanks to IronCAD, you can reproduce these hardware yourself and integrate them into woodLAB!
Nesting-type CNC machines are the most efficient for obtaining unparalleled productivity in the manufacture of custom Flight Cases. We have post processors for most Western European CNC machine manufacturers(clic here)
Thanks to the optimizer integrated into woodLAB CAM, you reduce waste and guarantee optimal production. To guarantee production monitoring, we recommend that you also equip yourself with QA\Label, a labeling system that can be adapted to any cutting machine.
Don't forget to watch our YouTube channel a 6-minute video that explains in detail the Flight Case production process

This video shows how easy and fast it is to design parametric flight cases in woodLAB. You automatically get the BOM and cut list for the saw. In a second video we will see how to obtain the programs for the CNC.

or this one but beware that a Pods & Rails CNC machine (as illustraded in this video) will be less efficient.
Flight Cases Close
In the previous video we designed quickly and easily Flight cases in woodLAB. Now, we need to go to production. First we generate automatically the programs in woodLAB CAM. Next we run them on the CNC machine. As simple as that.
