ALPHACAM, CAD/CAM software for all the CNC machines in your workshop
Program your parts quickly and easily
MW Programmation, experts in ALPHACAM software installation and support
ALPHACAM is CAD/CAM software developed by Hexagon, designed to quickly and accurately generate machining paths from 2D or 3D models.
Versatile, it caters to both woodworking and metalworking industries, with native support for milling machines, CNC lathes, Swiss lathes, mill-turn machining centres, routers, EDM machines, lasers and many more.
Drawing on over 40 years of expertise in integrating CAD/CAM solutions tailored to workshops, we are there every step of the way: from the sale and installation of the software to configuration, support and training.
Thanks to its customisable post-processors and numerous automation options, ALPHACAM integrates seamlessly into a digital production chain, alongside DESIGNER, NCSIMUL, MW-DNC and MW-EDIT.
ALPHACAM is the ideal software for both machining metal and wood
Metalworking represents the majority of our business. Our clientele, primarily composed of machine shops, Swiss lathe-machining companies and watch manufacturers, benefits from over 40 years of experience in metal machining. Over time, MW Programmation has developed ALPHACAM with numerous in-house developed features to precisely meet market demands.
ALPHACAM offers comprehensive coverage of CAD/CAM needs, including combined milling and turning, simultaneous 2- to 5-axis milling, multi-spindle and multi-turret turning and machining, as well as electrical discharge machining (EDM) and laser technologies.
