5 Features

Supporting any G-Code format

SolidCAM can produce any required G-code format or structure, whether dictated by the CNC controller or user preference. It fully supports DMG, INDEX, and single- or multi-file output for multi-channel CNC machines. When a control unit has limited memory, SolidCAM can generate external, separate program files as needed. Subprogram-based output is also available, significantly reducing overall G-code size.

With parametric feed and spindle speed output, operators can easily adjust cutting conditions directly at the machine controller. Because SolidCAM allows complete customisation of G-code formatting, it delivers unmatched flexibility and a future-ready solution for both current and next-generation CNC machines.

The versatility in the finished parts from the impressive Siemens 828D control to the Y axis and driven tooling, all without which we could not have produced this part. Going from simple turning to complex multi axis milling to create an amazing bat out of some tough material.

Licenses can be purchased as perpetual licenses in both Standalone and network formats. We also offer terms licenses for short term usage in the form of 3-month and 12-month term licenses.

Is SWOOD compatible with my CNC Machine?

SWOOD CAM uses Post Processors to translate toolpaths to G Code for specific CNC machines ensuring compatibility with a wide range of machines including popular brands like Homag, SCM and Biesse.

How does SWOOD help connect my design and manufacturing processes?

SWOOD has design and manufacturing capabilities through the different modules of the software in SWOOD Design, SWOOD CAM and SWOOD Nesting. Additionally, SWOOD has advanced reporting capabilities which automates the processing and generation of cutting lists including information on panels, materials, edge banding, connectors and more. This is all achieved at the click of one button.

What is the SWOOD Library?

The library is a fully customisable collection of default files which can be modularly added to any of your project designs through a simply drag and drop technique. This makes for the most efficient development of your furniture and joinery projects and models by avoiding the need for repeated work. The library can also be shared amongst colleagues to avoid duplicated work within the team.
