Ever wonder why today’s top architectural millwork and casework manufacturers depend on Microvellum software for their design, engineering, and production workflows?
It’s because Microvellum provides a powerful, AutoCAD-based platform designed specifically for wood product manufacturers. By integrating design, drafting, estimating, engineering, and manufacturing, Microvellum helps streamline processes, minimize errors, and increase profitability — making it the preferred solution for modern millwork drafting services.
At Breakline Solutions, we use Microvellum to deliver precise, production-ready millwork drawings for clients across industries — ensuring efficiency from concept to installation.
Top 5 Reasons Leading Millwork Firms Use Microvellum
1. Seamless AutoCAD Integration
AutoCAD remains the gold standard across architecture, design, and construction. Microvellum integrates directly with AutoCAD, enabling millwork drafters to create both 2D shop drawings and 3D models in one software environment.
This integration eliminates data transfer issues, reduces drafting errors, and streamlines workflows — from submittal through production. Microvellum’s pre-built libraries allow users to generate accurate drawings and 3D assemblies simultaneously, improving drafting speed and consistency.
2. Machine-Agnostic Flexibility
Many CAD/CAM tools are limited to specific machine manufacturers. Microvellum stands apart by being machine agnostic — compatible with a wide range of CNC routers, saws, and machining centers.
It can generate output for:
- Nested-based CNC machines
- Panel saws and vertical machining centers
- Point-to-point CNCs
- Drilling and boring machines
Microvellum also supports the creation of custom post-processors, allowing manufacturers to connect virtually any machine type. This flexibility is a major reason why so many millwork companies standardize their drafting and engineering on Microvellum.
3. User-Driven Development and Support
Microvellum maintains an active global community of millwork professionals who regularly share feedback and feature requests. The software’s developers actively monitor these forums and frequently integrate user suggestions into new releases.
This ongoing collaboration ensures that the platform evolves with real-world production needs, making it a truly responsive and future-proof solution for millwork drafting and manufacturing engineering.
4. Configurable, Open Product Libraries
Microvellum’s SQL-based Toolbox version allows full access to customizable libraries built on Excel spreadsheets. This gives millwork engineers and drafting teams unparalleled flexibility to develop their own parametric formulas, logic operators, and configuration standards.
Out of the box, the software comes preloaded with a complete, ready-to-use library — ideal for manufacturers who want to start producing immediately — while still allowing advanced users to fine-tune every parameter to their workflow.
In short: it’s simple enough for beginners, yet powerful enough for advanced engineering teams.
5. Built-In Report Designer
Microvellum’s built-in report designer lets users create fully customized reports that connect to both internal project data and external systems such as ERP or MES software.
This unified reporting structure provides insight into manufacturing performance, material usage, and job costing — all from one dashboard. For millwork firms, it’s a game-changer that ties together engineering, production, and management.
