Mission
Development of a new version of woodWOP, an application developed at Homag for the programming of CNC machines in the woodworking industry.
Application features:
Parametric sketcher including objects such as points, segments, circles, ellipses and b-spline curves. Fillet and chamfer extend this list of sketcher objects.
Capability to change the Z coordinate of 2D objects (extrusion of contours in 2.5D space).
Machining macro operations (drilling, grooving, routing, etc.).
Checking and control methods.
Import* and Export operations.

Solution
Development of woodWOP 6, an application combining:
A Sketcher based on Open CASCADE Technology
Homag-CAM Technology.
Open CASCADE Application Framework for the parametric sketcher and CAM data model.
Open CASCADE 3D viewer for visualization of the geometry and machining traces.

Results
woodWOP 6 was introduced to the market in May 2009.
woodWOP 6 provides CAD basic functions for the design of machining processes
woodWOP 6 increases programming security through a 3D view of workpieces,
processing and clamping equipment.
OPEN CASCADE provides the Technology to go further in CAD/CAM functionalities.
woodWOP 6 marks the beginning of a new era in design tools applied to wood processing…
