Hello.The question has probably been asked here before but is still testing My name is adam and I'm from Sweden. (The neutral country far to the north with blonde women and polar bears on the roads... To my mission.. I work with woodworking as furniture and interior carpenter at a small family business in Stockholm. I found this forum when I googled for CAM / CAD programs that are suitable for a production with different projects. everything that can be made from wood ... This is certainly nothing new for you. I did not find anything interesting on google, so I test here. I am looking for a CAD and CAM program that you can make manufacturing drawings with and with the same program send ready-made programs calculated from the CAD drawing to the CNC machine. We have recently invested in a 5-axle Biesse Rover A. With Biesses CAM software,

B-solid software is a very good and user-friendly program even for the most advanced machining. But we feel that we need a good CAD&CAM software to speed up production as we also have a constant production of custom-made bathroom furniture. So checked out the B-Cabitnet that belongs to the Biesse family. That program fits well with the recurring bathroom furniture but does not include a wider production.

So my question to you is, Which CAD / CAM program is best suited for a wide small production but with a recurring bathroom cabinet production and that you can use the program for drawing and show customers what the project looks like in realistic 3d. which is compatible with the post processor for the Biesse machine
B-Cabinet also has the blum catalog included (European fitting manufacturer) Which is a big plus! Thanks for asking my little question :)

Expectant greetings from Sweden

I use 5 axis Alphacam ultimate for our CAM work, and Megacad for our shop drawings

Thanks for your reply. I have also worked with Ahlphacam for a while. I have to say that it is a fantastic program. Especially the simple tools for solid machining. MegaCad looks good. It's for metalworking only?

I use megacad to primarily make cads for woodturning programs, also it's easier to set geometries for alphacam to appltmachining to. I have also used to to create solid models for inclining tangent handrail. Great program for woodwork machining models and 2d

Are you exporting to your own machine? Whats your projected software budget? If your exporting to others machines the CAM may be a pointless investment given most would never let anyone supply machine code for their machine. You can supply CAD that we take from there but thats about it.

Do you need more than 3 axis? etc?

EDIT.. sorry missed the Biesse 5-axle

Wait.... you REALLY have Polar Bears on the roads near you?? WOAH!

As far as 3D CAD CAM we are using Fusion360 and running three different CNC machines without issue. We make all sorts of parts both metal and wood with lots of 3D contouring and complexity. So far pretty pleased with it and for the price it is hard to beat anywhere... Good luck man. And Oh please send some of those Blondes down to Florida for us down here if you get a chance ;)

Hi Adam, have you checked out Cabinet Pro Software? Cabinet Pro is a software for both the small cabinet shop and the large manufacturer of cabinets, entertainment centers, doors, desks, closets, and more. Produces detailed shop & finished drawings, floor plans, elevations, 3D perspectives, unlimited user-defined cultists, material reports, door reports, bidding, financial charts and reports, panel optimization, Inventory Control, CSV Export/Import Module, and direct CNC machining code. Because Cabinet Pro® CNC Software produces the g-code directly from the panel optimized parts, there is no need for additional CAD/CAM software. Cabinet Pro® CNC works well with Biesse.
