Cadwork Api Repack -

The cadwork API, specifically the CwAPI3D, is a powerful tool designed to automate and extend the capabilities of cadwork 3D using Python or C++. It allows users to create custom plugins, automate repetitive modeling tasks, and integrate cadwork with external business systems like ERP or Excel. Core Capabilities

10. Next steps & resources to request

• Obtain cadwork SDK documentation, API reference, and sample plugins from cadwork or reseller.
• Request sample project files and CNC export templates used by your fabricators.
• Validate required exports (IFC vs native CNC formats) with downstream systems (estimating, ERP, CNC).
• Plan a small pilot: implement one scripted automation (e.g., part list export) and one plugin for a fabrication export.

With the API, you can write custom post-processors. You can tell the machine exactly how to orient the log to minimize waste, based on your parametric model. The days of exporting DXF and redrawing it for the robot are ending. cadwork api

Getting Started
