TM
Send all of your designs straight to your CNC machinery with only a few mouse
clicks. It’s fast, accurate and easy.
Overview
S2M Center is the most powerful
automated CAM solution in the
Woodworking industry, offering Saw
Optimization, Block Nesting, TrueShape
Nesting, as well as output for Drill &
Dowel Machines, Automated Chop Saws
and Haunching Machines. S2M Center’s
powerful Filtering and Machine Set
functionality allows output to an unlimited
number of machines simultaneously,
while automatically generating real time
part labels, on demand part labels,
pattern diagrams, tooling reports,
saw time/cost estimation reports, and
machine ready G-Code. This allows
users to dramatically reduce material
usage and labor costs by streamlining
their manufacturing processes.
Detailed Description
S2M Center is an automated CAM
software system that includes all the
functionality necessary to communicate
the bulk of engineering data from virtually
any CAD software directly to a variety
of NC/CNC machinery simultaneously.
Users can send parts designed in their
CAD system to the S2M Center, either
directly or as a batch DXF import, and
the software will analyze part geometries
and automate the process of selecting
the proper tools, order of operations,
and feeds and speeds then send the
data to a wide variety of NC/CNC
machinery. The schedule of parts being
sent to the machinery can be filtered to
send certain parts to specific machines
based on numerous conditions,
including type of part, operation, and
material. This allows users to implement
their own custom workflow utilizing the
software as a single source solution for
processing all of their parts.
For Nested Based Manufacturing, users
can output Nested Patterns directly to
CNC Machinery using our Screen-toMachine™ technology or, alternatively,
as DXF Output to a 3rd Party CAM
application. For users utilizing Workcell
methods, the software Includes Saw
Optimization communicated directly to
virtually any NC panel saw on the market
and includes either communication
directly to a CNC Machine or,
alternatively, DXF output to a 3rd Party
CAM Application. For manufacturers
operating in both NBM and Workcell
environments, S2M Center is the ideal
solution to manage the processing of
ALL parts being sent to their machinery.
For users of 3rd Party CAM systems,
the software allows for the output of part
machining information via DXF, and other
popular formats, to their 3rd Party
CAM application.
Practicality
S2M Center software is a major
breakthrough in the woodworking
industry for all manufacturers utilizing a
CAD software program for their designs.
The typical work flow for a manufacturer
designing parts for machining requires
them to process their parts using
a separate software application for
each type of machine or manually
programming the tools selection, tool
paths, and speeds and feeds within a
standard CAM application. S2M Center
drastically reduces the amount of time
needed to program parts and send those
parts to numerous machines.

Impact
S2M Center brings a new level of
automation to the woodworking industry,
providing a single source solution for
processing all parts. Now any CAD
user can experience true Screen-toMachine™ functionality, greatly reducing
programming time and the opportunities
for errors by streamlining the process of
sending designs straight to computer
controlled machinery, as opposed to
using separate software applications for
each type of machine.
