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
ALPHACAM is particularly renowned in the woodworking industry for its flexibility and speed. It allows for the efficient control of CNC machining centres, routers, drilling machines and multi-axis systems used in the manufacture of furniture, joinery, fittings and technical parts.
Its intuitive interface, advanced tool management and ability to automate recurring tasks make it a valuable asset for optimising programming time, reducing errors and improving productivity. Thanks to its powerful automation manager, you can program your CNC routers completely autonomously, without any manual intervention.
Key features for preparing your CNC programs:
-
01
Creation and management of toolpaths for all types of parts: windows, doors, furniture, stairs, etc.
-
02
Advanced machining strategies thanks to the Advanced 3D 5-Axis module, enabling the processing of the most complex geometries.
-
03
Use of the automation manager to create custom styles to automate recurring operations and standardise processes.
-
04
Automated processing of 2D and 3D files using the automation manager, allowing for part preparation, toolpath application and batch generation of NC code.
-
05
Fully customisable post-processors to guarantee perfect compatibility with all CNC machines.
Our specific developments to take ALPHACAM ever further
Automation manager
Save time and simplify your processes with the automation manager. 2D and 3D files, as well as solid models, can be batch-processed, from preparation to automatic NC code generation. Each batch produces ALPHACAM programs, NC codes and reports, while reusable machining styles and connectivity to your machines and databases allow you to standardise and accelerate your production. With this tool, you can save days, even weeks, of programming time each year.
ALPHACAM ART
ALPHACAM ART is a versatile software that allows you to create a wide variety of 2D or 3D art files. It is ideal for creating sculptures, panel or door decorations, logos, personalised gifts, trophies, image engravings and much more.
ALPHACAM, CAM software designed for joinery workshops
ALPHACAM is used by companies specialising in woodworking and composite materials machining, looking for flexible, versatile software that integrates seamlessly with their machine fleet. Designed to meet the needs of both production workshops and process engineering departments, it offers a progressive learning curve and a truly industry-specific approach.
It is used by:
- Operators who program directly from simple parts or client files, such as doors, windows or furniture
- Technicians who develop complex machining sequences for regular and custom production
- Multi-site companies wishing to standardise and harmonise their CNC programming methods
Versatility, performance and precision: three strengths that make ALPHACAM a reliable and long-term partner for joinery workshops and demanding industrial environments.
