cadwork has been commended for their integration of design, manufacturing, and construction—contributing to Europe's 25-year lead on North America in the timber construction industry.<ref>Joseph Gallivan "WHERE MASS TIMBER COMES TOGETHER," Pamplin Media Group, March 26, 2019. https://pamplinmedia.com/but/239-news/423542-328541-where-mass-timber-comes-together-pwoff</ref> cadwork was formed in 1988 at the [[École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne]] (EPFL) Department of Timber Construction, as a continuation of research in software by the [[Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology]] (CSEM), a watch industry research department. The company has seven subsidiaries, with offices in [[Saône, Doubs|Saône, France]]; [[Hildesheim, Germany]]; [[Rýmařov|Rýmařov, Czech Republic]]; [[Breitenwang|Breitenwang, Austria]]; [[Cuarte de Huerva|Cuarte, Spain]]; [[Montréal]], and the [[United States of America]].
== Products ==
=== Products and technical details === cadwork is mainly known for their timber industry wood products, but in Switzerland, it is a leading software for civil engineers. In 2004, cadwork started the development of Lexocad, a BIM-level design-planning-construction software that pushes the boundaries of the construction industry technology development.

The ‘cadwork competition' provides recognition for aesthetically pleasing timber construction. There are various categories, in 2019, Laminated Timber Solutions received the 'public buildings' award for their [[Molenbeek-Saint-Jean]] passive building constructed entirely of cross-laminated timber (CLT), comprising 17 units (single- and dual-story apartments), with ancillary common parts.<ref>"Laminated Timber Solutions (LTS) wins Cadwork award," Laminated Timber Solutions, March 22, 2019. https://www.laminatedtimbersolutions.be/en/news/laminated-timber-solutions-lts-wins-cadwork-award</ref>▼

=== Manufacturing
cadwork is the primary fabrication software used by timber manufacturers globally,<ref>"SOLID TIMBER CONSTRUCTION," Off-site Studies, University of Utah, Integrated Technology in Architecture Center, College of
Architecture and Planning, August 2015. http://itac.utah.edu/ITAC/ST_Perform_files/STC%20PPP%20V1.1.pdf</ref> as such, cadwork has a diverse network of manufacturers throughout the world. To work in the timber manufacturing, knowledge of cadwork is a criterion so to allow for operating and programming of [[Numerical control|CNC machines]].
