MachineWorks Ltd
UK-based CNC simulation software company founded in 1994, supplying Boolean-engine SDKs for CAD/CAM, machine tool, and robotics applications to global OEMs.
MachineWorks Ltd, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Sheffield, UK, develops software development toolkits for CNC machining simulation, verification, and collision detection. Its core product, the MachineWorks SDK, provides a Boolean geometry engine enabling multi-axis material removal simulation, real-time collision checking, and machine simulation for CAD/CAM, CNC controllers, and machine tool manufacturers. The toolkit supports desktop and cloud-based applications.
A second product, Polygonica, offers solid modelling libraries for polygon mesh processing used in CAD/CAM/CAE, medical, additive manufacturing, and geo-exploration applications. Customers include Dassault Systemes, Hexagon, Autodesk, 3D Systems, DMG MORI, OKUMA, Doosan, Fidia, and Heidenhain. The team of approximately 26 engineers, many with PhDs, collaborates closely with integrators on implementation and training.
MachineWorks is a Made in Sheffield licensee and an AMRC member company.
