 <\/p>\n

Do you work in cabinetmaking and often have repetitive programming tasks (CAM)? Would you like to know how to automate the g-code generation for the furniture you\u2019ve designed? Would you like your CAM software to recognize the features of your SOLIDWORKS part automatically instead of having to program the g-code for each of your parts manually?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If so, read on and learn what SWOOD CAM can do for you.<\/p>\n

What Is SWOOD CAM?<\/h2>\n

SWOOD CAM is an application integrated into SOLIDWORKS that adds CAM functionality directly into SOLIDWORKS. SWOOD CAM is designed specifically for woodworking and supports many different machines used in the industry.<\/p>\n

How Does Automatic Geometry Recognition in SWOOD CAM Work?<\/h2>\n

In order to take full advantage of SWOOD CAM<\/strong>, we must first define which tools will be used for each of the operations to be performed on a part.<\/p>\n

\"\"This is the case for most CAM software currently on the market. However, SWOOD CAM goes a step further by also offering you the possibility to program automatic operations into your SOLIDWORKS document template.<\/p>\n

\"\"Which Machining Operations Can SWOOD CAM Recognize?<\/h2>\n

These automatic operations inform SWOOD CAM which tools to use to achieve different pockets, contours, holes, and other features on or in your parts. Saw aggregate cutting operations, drilling with drilling blocks, machining, and many other operations are supported by SWOOD CAM.<\/p>\n

Supported functions include:<\/p>\n
