in3D Software strengthens Irish presence
in3D Software strengthens its Irish presence with Oliver O’Neill’s appointment, bringing local expertise and support for digital manufacturing growth.
As digital production becomes increasingly central to the furniture, joinery and interiors sector, in3D Software Ltd – the authorised UK and Ireland partner for imos AG – continues to invest in delivering hands-on, meaningful support to local manufacturers.
The latest step in this strategy is the appointment of Oliver O’Neill as Sales & Support Consultant for Ireland, giving Irish businesses a dedicated representative who understands both the technology behind modern digital manufacturing and the day-to-day pressures within real workshop environments.
Oliver joins at a moment of significant momentum for both imos and in3D Software. Last month’s four-day KBB Birmingham show generated exceptional interest from Irish manufacturers, creating an ideal backdrop for Oliver’s introduction to customers across the country. Reflecting on his first weeks, he explains how rewarding it has been to meet manufacturers face to face and see firsthand how they are approaching their shift toward digital workflows. The warm and enthusiastic response from Ireland, he says, has been especially encouraging.
KBB show underscores growing Irish demand
The imos stand at KBB experienced consistent footfall across all four days of the event, with visitors from Ireland forming a noticeable share of conversations. Oliver’s presence at the stand proved invaluable, allowing Irish manufacturers to discuss their challenges directly with someone familiar with the realities of CNC machinery, joinery processes and high-variation production environments.
Many of those show-floor conversations have already developed into site visits, demonstrations and follow-up meetings across Ireland, confirming both strong potential and a growing appetite for integrated digital systems.
Oliver notes that the number of Irish visitors at KBB exceeded expectations, signalling clear confidence and ambition within the market. For many businesses, the event reaffirmed the need for reliable, connected software that unifies design, sales and production.
A representative with real-world manufacturing insight
One of Oliver’s greatest strengths is his background in manufacturing, interiors and commercial fit-out. Having worked closely with joiners, cabinet makers and installation teams, he understands the demands of translating drawings into practical solutions, meeting tight deadlines and ensuring accuracy on projects of all sizes.
This experience gives him a grounded perspective that aligns naturally with the imos ecosystem, which is designed to support every stage of the furniture manufacturing process. His approach is built on providing clear advice, immediate support and practical guidance.
Being based in Ireland allows him to respond quickly, visit workshops in person and support customers directly as they adopt more connected digital workflows.
Supporting Ireland’s shift toward digital production
Ireland is embracing automation, CNC technologies and integrated digital systems at a rapid pace. Customers expect accurate visualisations, dependable costing and seamless production output, and manufacturers are increasingly recognising the need for a unified platform capable of delivering all three.
That platform is imos iX, a comprehensive CAD/CAM and digital workflow environment provided by in3D Software. At the design stage, imos iX offers advanced parametric 3D modelling through iX CAD and iX Design, enabling manufacturers to create detailed, production-ready designs with full material, fitting and machining logic built into every component.
These designs can be adapted easily, visualised at photorealistic levels and configured to meet even highly bespoke customer requirements.
For manufacturing, imos iX generates accurate cutting, drilling and nesting information through iX CAM and iX Nest, providing reliable, machine-ready data for a wide variety of CNC equipment. Even complex machines and demanding production setups are supported, aided by automatic drawing output, exploded views and assembly documentation when needed.
Crucially, imos iX extends beyond design and machining to connect the wider business. Tools such as iX Organizer, iX Connect and cloud-based iX SCOUT provide order management, data synchronisation and mobile access to project information, enabling seamless communication between sales, design, production and installation teams.
For companies taking online orders, imos SIM allows sales information to flow directly into production without manual re-entry. With Oliver based in Ireland – and supported by in3D’s UK technical team and the engineering capabilities of imos AG – manufacturers now benefit from both local presence and global expertise.
Looking ahead: a more connected future for Irish manufacturing
Oliver’s appointment marks a significant step toward deeper engagement with the Irish market. It enables in3D to expand its involvement in local industry events, extend its national visit schedule and strengthen relationships with organisations such as the Irish Wood and Interiors Network.
Ireland is now one of in3D’s most important regions for future growth, innovation and long-term partnership. Oliver is enthusiastic about what lies ahead, noting the rapid development within the Irish interiors and manufacturing space. Supporting that evolution with a proven digital platform like imos iX, he says, feels like the right move at the right time.
For manufacturers seeking a fully integrated, purpose-built digital production workflow – and personal support from someone who understands their world – Oliver’s arrival opens a new chapter for in3D and imos in Ireland.
