Beginners guide to SWOOD Design & SWOOD CAM
Get your woodworking projects done faster with SWOOD Design.
SWOOD Design plugs directly into SOLIDWORKS giving you the same look and feel with vastly expanded woodworking-specific functionality.
With specialised tools, simple ‘drag and drop’ features, and a customisable library, SWOOD Design has everything you need to create better products in less time than ever before.
Panel management
Decor/grain direction, Edgebanding, Laminate, thickness, curved stock.
Connectors
Assemble panels and wood with tenon-mortise, dowels, cams, lamellos. Create insertion rules and apply by drag and drop.
SWOODBox
Reuse shelves, partitions, drawers and doors from your library to save on design time.
Layout
Insert your cabinet and link dimensions to a layout sketch.
Profiling
Drag and drop control of shapes library, shapes replacement and apply on multiple edge.
Reporting
Customisable documents, export to cutting optimisation software, cut lists, hardware lists, labels.
SWOOD Design runs inside the intuitive SOLIDWORKS user interface.
Get it ready for manufacturing with SWOOD CAM.
Use SWOOD CAM to create programs for your CNC machines and releveant production documents directly inside SOLIDWORKS.
CNC Machine control
