EFICAD SWOOD 2023 SP0.0 for SolidWorks 2010-2024: A Comprehensive Guide

Indeed, accuracy and productivity are the guiding principles in designing furniture, joinery work, and woodworking. EFICAD’s SWOOD is the only solver capable of linking the gaps between woodworkers’ actual needs and precise CAD modeling. The 2023 SP0.0 Release, the crucial plug-in of which is compatible with all SolidWorks versions, be it the old 2010 or the newest 2024, will empower designers to create, visualize, and manufacture wood products with unprecedented ease.

SWOOD is not just a single little add-on, but the entire system is incorporated into SolidWorks. It recognizes woodworking vocabulary, which in turn capitalizes into a unique tool resource for all users of SolidWorks. Localization of all woodworking features, resources, and CNC specific tools into SWOOD allows the users to jump from sketch to finished drawing within the same familiar program, which is improving a lot–this rapid elimination of errors and saving the time are among the aforementioned benefits of the connection of the design and the production departments.

Imagine that SWOOD in SolidWorks is your cozy wood digital workshop. At the very center of the software, it extends SolidWorks with clever features that help to manage materials like panel materials, solid wood, and joinery. It adds dedicated functionality for making multiple furniture units, resizing the joints for joint realization like dovetails, mortise and tenons variations, and applying the dowels with a couple of clicks. Moreover, SWOOD is equipped with highly decorative tools for wood texture and grains realistic image that will help clients and stakeholders in purposely interior design visualizing the final product in a realistic context even long before one wood piece will be cut.

• SWOOD Design: Our software provides tools that are easy to use when creating panel-based systems. Among the “SWOOD Boxes,” the quick and automatically created elements of cabinets, and if any structure is used, “SWOOD Frame” might be an ideal choice.
• Intelligent Joinery Library: Impact an extremely expanded library of wood joineries, including standard and personalized options. By perfectly employing them on your models, SWOOD will take care of the geometry and traversing capabilities to ensure flawless and practical machining.
• Automated Cutting Lists and Drawings: This will allow you a 3D model into a complete cutting layout. The lists, however, automatically update as soon as the design changes and contain details of the material, dimensions, color, and even the grain direction.
• SWOOD CAM: This module generates the CNC machine code, which is directly taken from the SolidWorks model. It enhances the shrinkage and minimization waste so that the profiling and grooving tool paths can be put through the CNC machinery used in the workshop.
• SWOOD Render for Enhanced Visualization: Through the addition of rendered material libraries that can apply actual wood textures and finishes, you can now approach an outside realm of rendering possibilities. Construct visually appealing content that accurately shows the final result for better presentations and marketing materials.

A computer setup, which can handle the used SolidWorks version too, will serve as the operational basis for a SWOOD 2023 SP0.0. Here are the central aspects:
