SWOOD PROJECT REPORT
SAVE TIME
All the documents & data are created automatically based on the information embedded within your CAD / CAM models.
It allows for saving a lot of time as that information does not need to be exported manually.
REDUCE ERRORS
This report ensures the reliability of production data by compiling project information throughout the design process.
CUSTOMIZE INFORMATION
It includes the main information required for wood production.
The layout of the documents can be customized, and specific information can be added on demand.
Main advantages
- The software automatically collects all design element parameters, enabling a project report to be generated for production.
- Any parameter change made in the design is applied to programs and documents, enabling their generation in one click.
- Send all the programs to the CNCs in one click to optimize the manufacturing process.
- Other production information, such as: 2D drawings, tool lists, labels, nesting reports, 3D documents, rails and vacuum pod positions, and many more, are exported in the report to enhance collaboration.
- Export the documents in various fi le formats: XLS, PDF, CSV, HTML, XML, TXT, and the like, allowing communication with other systems in the company (ERP, MRP, MES, etc.).
