woodWOP is the CNC programming system of the HOMAG Group. The large

graphics area with a three-dimensional view of the workpiece is the center-

piece of the innovative surface. Routing, drilling or sawing can quickly and

easily be programmed by entering the machining parameters and displayed

realistically in the graphics area. This guarantees highest programming safety

and permanent control during program generation.

woodAssembler displays your projects in 3D and makes it possible to as-

semble components using the mouse. Your programs generated in woodWOP

are used as the data source. Modern technology makes it possible for you to

check the components virtually and in this way find errors conveniently on the

PC without the need to manufacture expensive prototypes.

woodAssembler also imports complete objects including all hardware from the

Dynalog program of hardware manufacturer Blum, and generates a woodWOP

program for every component. Access is also afforded to all the connectors

and hardware contained in the Hettich catalog.

Nesting technology means to „nest“ workpieces in order to achieve

optimum material utilization by using cutting optimization. Nesting offers

the opportunity to economize significantly on materials particularly when
