Alphacam software

Alphacam is one of the most advanced Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software tools for wood and stone machining simulation.

With its extensive and developed capabilities, it has gained tremendous popularity worldwide. Currently, it is used in everything from small woodworking workshops to multinational companies producing wooden parts and stone carving, all utilizing this software for designing and extracting their plans.

This software is similar to Edgecam, but it is specifically designed for woodworking and stone carving processes.
