SWOOD by EFICAD

The Medwood Plus exhibition has come to an end — and what an incredible few days it has been! ⚡   As one of the leading trade fairs dedicated to the wood and furniture industry in Greece, Medwood Plus brings together professionals and experts to showcase the latest technologies, materials, and trends shaping the sector.   Let's take a look back at this edition, where the SWOOD team had the chance to be on-site with its valued local partner ALFASOLID Works! 🤝   These past few days were filled with inspiring meetings, valuable discussions, and insightful perspectives on today’s and tomorrow’s market challenges.   A big thank you to Alfasolid Works for its valuable expertise and advice on the Greek market and for its continuous support! Thank you to everyone who visited us too! These years' encounters confirm once again exciting opportunities ahead! 👏   Events like Medwood Plus reinforce a key belief we share: innovation is driven by collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a collective vision for the industry of tomorrow. 🚀   📸 Here are some pictures from the event:   Lucas BOSCHETTI - Maria Papoutsi - Elena Valkanou - Evangelos Lieros - Dimitri Manolis - Vicky Liapati #SWOOD #Solidworks #Event #Medwoodplus #Partner #Alfasolidworks #Innovation #Manufacturing #Woodworking #Greece

🎊 What’s New in SWOOD 2026? 🎊   After exploring SWOOD Design, let’s dive into SWOOD CAM and machining automation! ⚙️   Machining automation (with shape recognition) has always been a key focus in the development of SWOOD CAM.   In 2026, this feature has been pushed even further: it is now possible to create automation rules using filters and relationships between operations.💥   Filters enable advanced selection of the geometries processed by the operation, while relations simplify the selection for the remaining operations. Combining filters and relations enables infinite automation! 🚀   What does it bring to you? ➡️ Automation rules that match your own production process, ➡️ Unlimited strategy possibilities, ➡️ Easy, code-free creation of advanced automation rules, ➡️ Smarter machining operations.   Want to see how it works in practice? Sign up now for the upcoming What's New 2026 webinar, at the end of April! 📅 Links in the first comment ⬇️ #SWOOD #SOLIDWORKS #WOODWORKING #CAD #CAM #NEWRELEASE #SOFTWARE #WEBINAR #WHATSNEW #FILTERS #AUTOMATION

Updates in the Library Installer!🚨   In case you don't know it yet, the Library Installer is a smart, ready-to-use library that helps you design your woodworking projects faster, easier, and with greater reliability! It already includes hundreds of components you can benefit from! 💪   Thanks to this update, the range of Hettich hardware components available in the Library Installer continues to grow, including the VerticoSynchro, the SlideLine 97 and TopLine XL sliding door systems, the ET 5150 hinge, and 4 handles from the Organic range! 🪛   Enjoy SWOOD's smart parametric system: every component automatically adjusts to your design, recommends the best hardware setup, and makes customizing effortless! The machining operations are directly integrated into the components, meaning that drillings are applied to the panels and updated in case of changes. 💥   What are the benefits for you? ✔️ Save valuable design time with ready-to-use components, ✔️ Gain more freedom from a larger range of hardware components, ✔️ Get reliable last-minute changes with automatic updates, ✔️ Receive production documents instantly updated.   Leave a comment below if you have any components you would like to see in the Library Installer soon! 👇   Hettich Group #SWOOD #SolidWorks #LibraryInstaller #Design #Software #Hettich #Hardware #VerticoSynchro #SlideLine97 #TopLine #SlidingSystems #Handles #OrganicDesign #Hinge

🎊 What's New in SWOOD 2026? 🎊   A few days ago, we introduced one of the new features of SWOOD Design: the SWOOD Box going "Out of the Box". Today, let’s reveal another one, also related to the SWOOD Box: the SWOOD Box Free Machining! These two features are fully compatible and can work together seamlessly! 📣   As you may know, the SWOOD Box includes machining operations (drillings, grooves, custom cuts, and more). Until now, these operations were limited to the six flat faces of the SWOOD Box.   👏 With SWOOD 2026, this limitation is gone!   Machining operations are now fully flexible: ➡️ They can be created on any plane, in any direction or orientation, ➡️ They can be saved directly into the Library and reused later, ➡️ They allow you to design complex and unique projects with ease.   This makes it much easier to design and manufacture furniture with angled panels, sloped elements, or more complex geometries.   🚀 Stay tuned for our What’s New webinar coming in April!   #SWOOD #SOLIDWORKS #WOODWORKING #CAD #CAM #NEWRELEASE #SOFTWARE #BOX #MACHINING

A simple material change can have a big impact on a woodworking project.🪵   In many workflows, changing a panel material requires manually updating drawings, machining, and production data — a time-consuming process with a high risk of errors. ⚠️   With SWOOD, material changes are fully integrated into the design process. Change the panel as many times as you want, and the entire project will automatically be updated: thickness, textures, dimensions, grain direction etc.   What you gain from this: ➡️ high level of flexibility with a lot of materials available, ➡️ instant changes on the project, ➡️ optimized costs with less time spent on modifications, ➡️ adapted to production constraints, without breaking the workflow.   SWOOD reduces the gap between design and manufacturing, ensuring every change remains accurate, consistent, and production-ready! 🚀   #SWOOD #SOLIDWORKS #CAD #CAM #Woodworking #Design #Panels #Material

💥 What’s New in SWOOD 2026? 💥   📢 Our teams have spent months developing the new version of our woodworking software! Today, we’re thrilled to introduce the first feature of this new release! 👏   Let’s talk about SWOOD Design, and the SWOOD Box!   With SWOOD 2026, you can now easily work on non-cubic projects with various and sharp angles! The SWOOD Box now goes truly "Out of the Box"! 🎇   This is made possible thanks to the implementation of Driving Points. These reference points allow the SWOOD Box to align with the actual angles of your project.   Typical use cases: ✅ An under-stairs storage, ✅ A van's interior, ✅ A custom furniture for sloped ceilings, ✅ Or any furniture that has sharp angles!   Stay tuned for our What's New webinar coming in april! 🚀   #SWOOD #SOLIDWORKS #WOODWORKING #CAD #CAM #NEWRELEASE #SOFTWARE #BOX #WEBINAR
