Over 30 years of innovation in the wood industry
EFICAD was founded in 1989 to develop AutoCAD-based CAM software exclusively for the educational sector. However, as early as 1991, we developed our first CAD/CAM software dedicated to the woodworking industry. Ten years later, SWOOD became a SOLIDWORKS® certified product, reinforcing its position as a key player in the digital transformation of the woodworking trades.
Today, EFICAD continues to build on its founding values: innovation, proximity to its users, and the desire to meet tomorrow’s challenges.
