The Walkthrough<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Walking into reception, you notice the beautiful marble reception desk, a glistening steel Biesse Group logo on the wall and the sleek design of the foyer<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>We were later told everything in this area <\/span><\/span>was manufactured by<\/span><\/span> Biesse\u2019s customers using their machinery<\/span><\/span>. This included a marble violin and a unique curved glass chair (that apparently can be sat on\u2014we weren\u2019t game enough to try!).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s nice knowing the collaboration in software, innovation, and materials have a permanent home in the Biesse showroom<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\n
Moving through the hall, the showroom expands before you to a a hive of activity.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The impressive new premises expands over 5000 sqm (2000 of which is the showroom). It’s housing more than 20 Biesse and Intermac machines on display. The floor was bustling with people; from passionate software developers to woodworking apprentices. It\u2019s immediately obvious the impact Biesse has on the industry and those within it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Machines<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\"Biesse
The Biesse Group showroom was like a well-laid out maze of machinery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
Walking through the machine maze, we managed to catch demos on the Opera R robotic sanding machine, the Stream AD edgebanding machine and the Intermac Master 33.3 waterjet cnc working centre machine<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
What we <\/span>really<\/span><\/span> noticed was the capabilities of these machines. \u201cThink Forward\u201d <\/span>truly<\/span><\/span> captures what Biesse is all about, and it resounds out of all they do. We found ourselves thinking about all the possibilities of this machinery and technology… and that it\u2019s not what these machines <\/span>do today,<\/span> but what they <\/span>can do tomorrow<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\"Biesse
Curved glass structures, creating violins on a commercial scale, stone motorcycle parts\u2026 The creativity and possibilities are endless…<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Luke, a\u00a0Biesse service technician, told us about his journey with Biesse Group<\/a>. As an apprentice, he worked with Biesse machines 20 years ago. <\/span>It’s clear how passionate he is about the work he does, and gave us the run-down on sanding and edgebanding machines<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

    Summary<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    Overall<\/span><\/span>, it was amazing to see the expansive new premises, take a look at machines in action, and even keep a finished product<\/span><\/span>.
