Software When San Diego-based Mariners Woodshop began crafting custom inlayed cockpit, deck and salon tables for yachts, founder Richard Benscoter employed the use of ArtCAMs CAD software to create quick and accurate designs for inlaid tables. Breaking away from fragile veneers ArtCAM Insignia customer, Mariners Woodshops products are ordered throughout the United States, Europe and Australia. Richard Benscoter, founder of tables for the vessel. These are Mariners Woodshop, had been produced according to the clients working in the industry when he ideas so that the end result is a first came up with the idea for the unique table created from their own inlaid tables. drawing, photo or commissioned Richard remembers: I was design from the Mariners fortunate enough to be invited Woodshop. An example is this deck aboard a 135ft yacht for lunch. The table with the customers software lunch was served on a wonderful logo inlayed with gold leaf as a deck table with a compass rose inlay border (right). done in traditional veneers which Richard believes that what sets the owner had commissioned just his company apart from its 13 months before. The table had competition is that our table prices been in service just seven months, include an inlay of the boat yet the inlay was failing due to the manufactures logo. All our inlays fragileness of the veneers in the are 14 and 1/8 hard woods, not environment in which it was used. veneers so the customer does not For some months after that I have to worry about their inlay believed that there had to be a way failing no matter where the table is of having a wonderful inlay that used or stored. could be used in a marine All our tables are hardwoods and environment successfully. When the no substrates are used in any of our opportunity for an early retirement tables or commissioned products. was made I accepted and started When setting up the business Mariners Woodshop. Richard researched a number of Three years on, Mariners possible methods to achieve his Woodshop, located in San Diego, durable inlaid tables. The ArtCAM now refurbishes or provides software product range provides a additional or replacement bespoke unique CAD modelling and CNC CAM machining solution. ArtCAM allows the creation of high quality products from 2D artwork faster than ever thought possible, and thus a great option for Richard. ArtCAM was my choice after much reading and using the demo The Sea Trakker boat version on numerous flights to and A Sea Trakker deck table with the customers software logo inlayed with gold leaf as a border, crafted by Mariners Woodshop using ArtCAM A table on the Sea Trakker boat from Australia when I was in my due diligence phase and working on my business plan, says Richard. He continues: What is interesting is that Delcams representative in Los Angeles was very helpful in my quest to match the power of ArtCAM with a machine that would be compatible and also be repeatable. Unless you have a hundred thousand dollars, a guaranteed repeatable machine in my price range could not be found. The Delcam representative told me about K2 CNC in Los Angeles and recommended that I look at their machines. After finding the machine we then made the deal and the marriage could not have been better. Says Richard: I have tried other companies products, but rely on ArtCAM as most of my working is design, cutting pockets and inlays. I have found the competition process has many steps and is very time consuming. Using ArtCAM Insignia, Richard can take a customers picture or art work and transform that into a tool path ready for cutting in just a few hours. My decision to buy ArtCAM was easy, it works, it had good representatives and the documentation is excellent. ArtCAM has proved vital to Richards business, and he says: ArtCAM is a tool and an integral part of my business plan without this software I could still make tables but not the one-off table that gets the compliments that my work has received from its customers. Richard looks forward to 2010 and says: Our business plan is to stay the course and do what we do best by building custom tables, whilst managing our growth. We plan to expand our table offerings and venture into three dimensional designs. Additionally, we are currently exploring the possibility to work with boat manufacturers to match their customers desire when they contract for their yacht as part of the design package.
