SEMA CAD/CAM-Software provides input in both 2D and 3D.[1] The program is used in the fields of timber construction, stair design, sheet metal work, roof covering as well as timber engineering.[2][3][4] It has a modular structure and runs under Windows. Every six months, an update ensures compatibility with other future operating systems. The software enables data transfer to CNC machines and data export to software for the calculation of energy performance or structural design of a building. SEMA is an exhibitor at various international trade fairs.[5][6][7]
History[edit]
The software manufacturer SEMA was founded in 1984 and its headquarters is located in Wildpoldsried in the Allgaeu region (Bavaria). In 1987, SEMA was the first company to control a joinery machine directly from the computer. In 1988, SEMA developed the first graphical user interface for joinery lines. In 2003, SEMA employed visualization in a timber construction CAD software for the first time. In 2016, the entire external appearance of SEMA was relaunched. A new e-learning platform was set up in 2021. The "SEMA College" centralizes the entire school, training and further education topic related to the SEMA software.
Timber Construction Software[edit]
Using input assistants, users can freely create, process and evaluate timber constructions. The ground plan is created first. The ground plan can have any shape, even a polygon is possible. Any editing is represented visually in 3D mode. Timber construction-specific connections such as dovetail connections or Tyrolean dovetails are stored in the master data of the software. Consequently, it is possible to design different timber construction systems such as log cabins or timber frame buildings.
Stair Design Software[edit]
The SEMA software is the ideal solution for the creation and design of standard and tailor-made stair constructions. The corresponding data are transferred via DXF+ files through a CAD/CAM program so that they can be processed by CNC machines. Newel stairs, spiral stairs and steel constructions are also possible.
Roof Covering and Sheet Metal Work[edit]
It is also possible to cover surfaces and house edges with sheet metals. Surfaces can be designed freely. All sheet metal components are represented visually in 3D mode. The master data of the software comprise standard catalogues of the most important bending machine manufacturers. The components can be evaluated in material lists and production drawings.
BIM & IFC[edit]
For years now, SEMA Software has been providing manifold possibilities to enable the exchange of information between all systems involved in a project. The SEMA group is member of the official BIM organization buildingSMART.[8]
Supported Operating Systems[edit]
SEMA runs on Windows 8.1, 10 and 11.
