woodWOP: New options with the CAM plugin
Craftsmanship with CNC machines.
Do you have a CNC machine but still have to turn down projects because it isn't a 5-axis machine? It doesn't need to be like this: There's more to your 3-axis or 4-axis than many people think. With CAM Plugin Basic for woodWOP you can produce workpieces that would otherwise only be possible with time-consuming manual work – or with a 5-axis processing center. CAM Plugin Basic brings classic craftsmanship to your CNC.
The add-on module for woodWOP provides you with additional processing macros that enable 3-axis processing of 3D surfaces in woodWOP. Tools such as roughing cutters, finishing cutters and ball cutters are very helpful here. Several practical examples will quickly show you how CAM Plugin Basic can realize the full potential of your CNC machine. And how you can expand your product portfolio without high investment costs and a lot of effort.
Beech handrail: A classic produced in a modern way.
The joiner designed the 3D model of this handrail segment using the CAD plugin in woodWOP. The subsequent programming of the processing steps – roughing down and finishing the surfaces – is then carried out quickly and easily with CAM Plugin Basic.
Sample cutouts: As a promotional gift or decoration.
There are countless sample files on the Internet as a basis for decorations that you can import into woodWOP with just a few clicks. The processing macro "Milling pockets with islands" automatically calculates the required milling paths. Such projects can also be easily implemented on DRILLTEQ machines.
Signage: Texts and logos for professional or private use.
Your CNC engraves lettering or company logos into a wide variety of materials with ease using the stylus trimmer. The "Engraving" macro automatically calculates the milling path and automatically pulls the tool upward in the corners.
