Woodworking software for construction
Carpentry involves a high level of technicity with a need for design flexibility.
Power your team with parametric woodworking software like SWOOD.
Tailor-made timber framing software
- Parametric design
- 3D Geometric analysis
- Language output
- Reusable models
Parametric design
Use SOLIDWORKS capabilities and features to create a parametric design for your timber framing or carpentry project. Even the last-minute design changes are updated in the programs by a simple SOLIDWORKS rebuild.

3D Geometric analysis
Thanks to its geometric analysis capabilities, it is possible to automatically detect the shape on 3D models (mortise, tenon, saw cut, dovetail, birds mouth, etc.) and generate the corresponding CNC programs for your CNC machines.

Multiple machine language output
SWOOD BW creates CNC programs for a range of machine manufacturers (Hundegger, Weinmann, Uniteam, etc.) by creating files such as BTL, BVN or BVX files.

Possibility to reuse models
As a parametric solution, create and change the dimensions of existing models easily to create new projects all within the SOLIDWORKS interface.
