LECTRA: Lectra demonstrates how to develop an armchair in 24 hours
27 6월 2014 - 2:10AM
Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology solutions
dedicated to industries using soft materials-fabrics, leather,
technical textiles and composite materials-recently hosted a
seminar for upholstered furniture professionals at its
Bordeaux-Cestas campus in France. Structured around the theme "24
hours", the seminar brought together over 50 participants from 13
countries. Throughout the event, which centered on following, in
real time, the upholstery manufacturing process for an armchair,
from initial design sketch to production of the finalized cut
parts, guests were encouraged to share their experiences and best
practices on investing in new technology and the benefits it brings
to their manufacturing processes. The seminar was organized into
three sections: Styling and Costing; Product Development and
Industrialization; and Production of Cut Parts. The 24-hour
countdown began with an overview of the latest trends in furniture
design given by Stanislas Joly from Sylvain Joly Design (France).
With the help of a 3D, collaborative worktable provided by
Immersion, CAD engineers used the 2D/3D DesignConcept Furniture
solution to demonstrate the time and cost-saving advantages of
virtual prototypes for the styling and costing phases of
manufacturing. Marcin Blazewicz, Vice President of IMS Sofa
(Poland), shared how the adoption of DesignConcept revolutionized
his company's design process and is continuing to change the way
they do business. By using virtual prototypes, "we avoid errors and
incorrectly developed products that will just end up sitting in the
corner of the factory because no one wants them," he explains.
During the event, customers witnessed the full product development
of the armchair's interior (wooden structure and foam) components,
as well as the leather and fabric upholstery, using Lectra's
industrialization and pre-production software. Guests also learned
how valuable an automated cutting room can be for optimizing
production, increasing material savings, and maintaining consistent
product quality through demonstrations of Lectra's leather and
fabric cutting solutions, Versalis® and Vector®. "Investing in the
Versalis system has made our production process go more smoothly
and allows us to produce more efficiently than we did before," says
Else-Marie Rønning, Production Engineer at Ekornes (Norway). "The
waste has gone down by 5-6% and the productivity has increased,"
adds Leif-Jarle Aure, Technical Manager. Paolo Pavanello, Plant
Manager at Cassina (Italy), also emphasized the opportunities that
willingness to change can provide for manufacturers. Cassina
decided to invest in the last Vector cutting solution after an
intensive audit project performed by Lectra showed how the Vector
could help the company optimize their production processes. Not
only did their operations improve, they also recorded a return on
their investment much earlier than planned. "The results surpassed
our expectations," says Paolo Pavanello. "This event was a
fantastic opportunity for our customers and prospects to gain new
insights and discover new approaches to improve their manufacturing
processes. Going through the entire process of designing and
developing an armchair then producing the cut parts, was a big hit
with the participants," says Céline Choussy-Bedouet, Marketing
Director, Lectra.
