2026 is a major year for in3D Software Ltd, the official UK & Ireland partner for imos AG. The company has refreshed its brand, strengthened its technical team, and doubled down on delivering practical, locally focused support. All of this reflects in3D Software’s commitment to helping furniture, cabinetry and interiors manufacturers get real value from digital production.
Founded in 2008, and based in Grittleton, near Bath, the in3D Software team offers more than 80 years of combined experience and expertise in supplying, integrating and supporting software and systems for the woodworking industry.
The company’s recent rebrand, its expanded services and the growingdemand for imos iX demonstrate a company – and a customer community – ready for the next stage of modern manufacturing.
At the centre of this progress is imos iX, a fully integrated, manufacturing focused platform that brings design and production together. Whether it’s product configuration, CAD construction, CNC output, cloud collaboration or online design and ordering, imos enables a seamless workflow from concept to shopfloor.
A rebrand built around clarity and customer success in3D Software’s new brand is more than just a new look; it reflects a clearer approach to how it supports manufacturers. The company’s updated website, www.in3D.co.uk, makes it easier to see how companies succeed with imos – through structured online training, practical consultancy, expert data creation and fully supported implementation.
imos AG continues to enhance the iX portfolio, including:
- iX CAD – intelligent parametric design
- iX PLAN – showroom and dealer planning
- iX CAM – automated CNC output
- iX NET – cloud based order processing
- iX Scout and iX Showcase – tools for communication, visualisation and workflow insight.
These aren’t generic add-ons, however, but purpose-built modules designed specifically for furniture and interior manufacturers, with the logic, machining strategies and data structures needed for real production environments.
in3D has been UK-based since 2008 and focused solely on imos. That long-term commitment means its customers benefit from both deep software knowledge and real manufacturing experience – advice that’s practical, accurate and grounded in day-to-day production needs.
Strengthening capability: data, workflows and faster implementations
As more manufacturers adopt a single integrated platform, high-quality product data becomes essential. Materials, rules, machining logic, variants – these are all key to generating real production data. To support this, in3D Software has strengthened its capability with the appointment of Alex Shelley, Sales & Integration Consultant, who brings 15 years of hands on experience and a proven track record building complete imos databases as an end user.
“Our data creation services help companies speed up implementation or reduce the learning curve, but they’re optional,” explains Alex. “Many customers choose to build and maintain their own data using Article Designer and iX Organizer, supported by our structured online training.” Alex’s expertise goes beyond building data – he helps manufacturers translate their build methods, pricing rules and production processes into clean, structured logic. His work ranges from large scale kitchen manufacturers to bespoke interiors companies, enabling in3D to tailor imos to each customer’s real-world workflow.
A stronger local presence across Ireland Demand continues to grow in Ireland, so in3D Software has expanded its local presence with Oliver O’Neill, Sales & Support Consultant Ireland, providing dedicated support, training and consultancy on the ground. “Ireland has a diverse manufacturing sector,” explains Managing Director, Adam Bumpsteed.
“Having Oliver based locally gives customers a partner who understands both the software and the pressures of daily production.” Oliver’s approach puts training and confidence at the centre: “Proper training removes uncertainty and sets teams up for long term success. And when challenges arise, fast, practical support makes all the difference.”
Exhibitions, AI and the future of visual communication
2026 has begun strongly, with rising demand, new implementations and a busy exhibition schedule. in3D will be showcasing the latest imos iX 2025 updates at KBB and the Professional Woodworking Exhibition, demonstrating how imos helps unify sales, engineering and production around a single source of accurate data. One of the biggest developments is imos iX Render AI, the new real time, AI-powered rendering engine. It transforms live production data into photorealistic images instantly, helping teams close the gap between what customers expect and what factories produce.
“AI is transforming the design to production workflow,” says Peter Cunningham, Sales & Support Consultant. “Designers can now create a production ready design in iX NET, generate a photoreal render and produce a quotation in minutes. It brings speed and confidence to the sales process.” While the rendering breakthrough is exciting, the real value is the continuity of data. The same information used for visuals also drives pricing, nesting, machining and installation packs. imos is far more than just a drawing system; it’s a complete operational platform that eliminates gaps between design and production.
Why manufacturers choose imos and in3D
The success of the in3D/imos partnership comes from combining global technology with local expertise. imos is trusted by major international manufacturers but flexible enough for bespoke cabinet makers.
With in3D’s long standing presence in the UK and Ireland, customers get predictable, connected workflows – accurate data, reliable automation and production-ready outputs.
As Adam Bumpsteed puts it: “imos is the leading CAD/CAM platform for this sector, offering specialised manufacturing toolsets built on proven Autodesk technology. Having local experts who understand both the software and the industry ensures customers gain maximum value from their investment.
“When selecting a solution, it’s essential to consider the quality of support and training behind it – these systems become critical to everyday operations, so access to a knowledgeable, responsive team is vital.
"in3D has been UK-based since 2008 and dedicated exclusively to imos iX, enabling us to build long term, trusted relationships that help customers succeed.”
Looking forward
With a stronger identity, expanded expertise and a clear service model, in3D Software Ltd enters 2026 with real momentum. The company is investing where it makes the biggest difference – data, training and responsive support – while imos AG continues to evolve the tools that make modern manufacturing flow. For UK and Irish manufacturers looking to unify design and production with a platform built specifically for furniture and interiors, the in3D and imos partnership sets a remarkably high standard.
