Investing in independent CAM software like woodLAB CAM is a strategic decision for woodworkers and fitters working with multiple CNC machines from different manufacturers. This software allows you to maintain your existing processes while optimizing the production flow.
woodLAB CAD is a parametric 3D CAD solution, running on IronCAD, specially designed for carpenters with CNC machining centers. It is particularly popular in Belgium, France, Switzerland and Quebec for its ease of use and its power in custom design.
Testimony of a carpenter: my CNC saved me!
The combination of woodLAB CAD and CAM guarantees you optimum automation. Unlike software such as Alphacam or Mastercam, woodLAB CAM is a fully automatic "black box", based on rules configured during installation.
Currently available post-processors:
Once your project is finished in woodLAB CAD, creating the necessary programs for each part is done with a simple click. For specific adjustments, the operator can modify the machining via a minimalist interface or the software provided by the CNC manufacturer.
Set tools according to materials, for example a diamond cutter for a specific material.
Freely associate tool names on the CAD with those on the CAM to manage multiple machines without duplicating configurations.
Adjust parameters specific to each CNC: work coordinates, tool change, rpm, etc.
Program complex scenarios, such as avoiding edge damage through optimized cuts.
