Driving the future of woodworking through the integration of advanced technologies, proactive services and digital innovation is the goal of the upcoming SCM Open House, scheduled for 12–14th March 2026 at SCM’s headquarters in Rimini.
Across more than 4,000 square metres, visitors will be able to explore a wide range of machines, automated systems, software and services designed to support production across furniture, timber construction, surface treatment, flooring, windows and doors, and wood/aluminium solutions.
A series of innovations will immerse attendees in a new era of woodworking innovation, where competitive advantage is no longer defined solely by a single machine or system, but by the ability to integrate them into connected, flexible and sustainable production models.
Fully embracing this vision, SCM reaffirms its role as a strategic partner for companies aiming for global competitiveness in a rapidly evolving industry characterised by new materials, faster production cycles and increasing customisation.
The Open House will feature a rich programme of live technical demonstrations, guided tours of SCM’s Rimini production plants, live links with other Italian facilities, and dedicated insights into the latest technological and market trends. Attention will also be drawn to partnerships with SCM’s newest companies: Tecno Logica, focused on integrated systems and robotics, and Mecal Machinery, specializing in aluminium, PVC, and light-alloy processing.
Digital systems and services
The event will spotlight an Integrated Service Ecosystem designed to provide companies with more efficient production, greater operational control, and continuous manufacturing uptime, thanks to technologies that transform machine-generated data into actionable support.
At the core of this modular architecture is WinMES, SCM’s Manufacturing Execution System engineered in partnership with Tecnest, a key player in production planning and supply chain management software.
Factory intelligence is further strengthened by Smart Spindle, an advanced spindle-sensor system for predictive analysis and prevention of unplanned downtime.
Starting in 2026, all new SCM machines will include Additional Care, offering extended warranty on spare parts, technical support, and a three-year maintenance plan.
Automation and integrated machining cells
An Integrated Sizing and Nesting Cell for Batch 1 production will be presented at the event. Combining advanced automation, operational flexibility and reduced energy consumption, the cell is composed of:
flexstore hp, the automatic storage system managing all panel formats, retrieving offcuts and organising sorting in advance to support the cell’s logistics.
gabbiani gt 2 single-blade panel saw, fed by the automatic storage system and an anthropomorphic robot, performing single or book cuts with high productivity.
morbidelli x200 nesting CNC machining centre with integrated robot for automatic offloading into organised stacks and temporary parking.
Also on display will be stefani cell E, a compact and automated entry-level solution for Batch 1 production.
The Open House will also feature a dedicated focus on Tecno Logica solutions, with technologies engineered to support extremely high production capacities – even in complex scenarios.
New CNC machining centres
Two new models will be unveiled within the accord range:
- accord 400 with the new “flexmatic pro” worktable for automatic positioning of pods and clamps.
- accord 500 edge, featuring the H80C “Compact” edgebanding technology for various types of edges and glues.
Also on display will be the morbidelli x50 nesting centre equipped with lifter integration.
Panel processing
The new gabbiani af beam saw will make its world debut at the Villa Verucchio production plant. The range offers rapid work cycles, advanced motorisation systems, an innovative saw blade carriage with power up to 27 kW, and operational units optimised to reduce energy consumption while maintaining high-precision cutting results.
In edgebanding, flexibility will be the keyword across the showcased solutions such as stefani m, the new edgebander equipped with servo-assisted operating units that ensure precision and ease of use. The “Multiedge” system enables extremely fast, error-free changeovers with a single click.
Also in evidence will be celaschi p20, a new automatic double-end tenoner, and the most compact in the range.
Windows and doors and solid wood processing
For the first time, the windor nt1 angular machining centre will feature the new “Optima BR” drilling-routing unit, allowing it to carry out all complementary machining, including horizontal milling, and the innovative Maestro active windoor software interface.
Also in the spotlight will be superset nt: the automatic throughfeed moulder equipped with the new electronic control, including the “eye-S” console fitted with 10” colour touch-screen display and the Maestro active 4-side software, for the machining of profiles for windows, doors, stairs, beads, frames and furnishings.
Timber construction
SCM will present the new area gl, 5-axis CNC machining centre via an immersive digital experience. It is engineered to ensure high performance, precision and reliability in the machining of straight and curved glulam elements intended for public building roofs, multi-storey buildings and infrastructure projects.
Finishing solutions
The surface finishing area will focus on the matt effect, a growing trend in furniture. Superfici will unveil Supermatt, a new physical matting system capable of achieving ultra-low-gloss finishes with outstanding durability.
Joinery machines
Visitors will see nova si 4, a versatile circular saw with a new, highly reliable sliding carriage — guaranteed for 10 years — and extensive customisation possibilities according to specific application needs.
The L’invincibile si 3bo, equipped with the innovative “blade off” safety system for intelligent risk reduction, will also be present.
Aluminium machining
The MC 307 Falcon by Mecal Machinery, a Group company, will be on display for the first time at the Technology Centre. This 4-axis machining centre for aluminium, PVC, and steel profiles ensures high precision and productivity.
