Software that improves efficiency and drives growth.
Design & Drafting
Microvellum's Toolbox software helps designers and drafters create professional 2D & 3D drawings using AutoCAD-based tools and built-in automation.
Toolbox is specifically designed for AutoCAD, the industry-leading CAD software from Autodesk, trusted by millions of designers, architects, and engineers globally.
Toolbox, also available as an OEM AutoCAD version, seamlessly integrates with the CAD environment, serving as the command center and automated intelligence behind all 2D drawings and 3D modeling.
By automating many aspects of the drafting and detailing process, including 3D modeling, 2D plans, elevation and section drawings, dimensioning, and annotations, Toolbox helps reduce the potential for human error, increase accuracy, and speed up production timelines.
Define how you want your 2D plan, elevation, and section drawings to be annotated, and let the Toolbox take care of the detailing—consistently and accurately.
Toolbox also ensures that all your drawings and details stay in sync. When properties of the room change—such as wall or product dimensions—all previously drawn details are automatically updated.
Toolbox works to ensure consistency across your projects. Automated features guarantee that all drawings adhere to the same standards and specifications, eliminating variations and confusion on the shop floor.
Our team of Product Engineers develops and maintains a comprehensive frameless cabinet library, providing access to nearly 300 highly configurable products.
Want to go beyond? Expand your library with face frame cabinetry, closets, office furniture, staircases, and toilet partitions, or design custom, one-of-a-kind products.
Seamlessly integrate your drafting and manufacturing processes, creating detailed 2D and 3D drawings that can be directly translated into production-ready instructions for CNC machines.
Estimating
Microvellum goes beyond design, drafting, engineering, and manufacturing - helping you produce accurate estimates and detailed project costing reports.
Win more jobs with precise estimates that accurately reflect material, labor, and machine time requirements.
Like most areas within Microvellum software, you have complete control over the design, calculations, and types of information you want to appear on your quotes using the integrated Report Designer interface.
Make smart choices about materials, construction methods, and pricing strategies based on reliable cost data.
Define what materials and hardware you use and manage the costs for everything.
Set clear expectations with clients by presenting transparent cost breakdowns.
Ensure your projects stay on track financially with accurate estimates that help you manage costs effectively.
Factor in labor costs based on industry standards or your own shop rates for a more complete picture of project expenses.
Engineering
Microvellum is an engineer's playground. Unlike restrictive programs that limit your creativity, Microvellum empowers you to engineer and build products your way, offering unmatched flexibility and an open architecture that utilizes industry-standard software like AutoCAD and Excel.
Imagine designing products where you define the width, height, and other details as variables. Simply adjust these parameters to create different sizes or styles, all while the software ensures everything fits together perfectly.
You control how your designers and drafters interface with your product data using custom prompts, message boxes, warnings, and other custom design or construction elements..
Microvellum's parametric design leverages Excel-based formula logic, the world's most commonly used spreadsheet and calculation platform. This provides users with ultimate flexibility and user-friendly simplicity.
Toolbox offers extensive, highly customizable libraries of pre-defined components like cabinets, drawers, doors, shelves, hardware, etc. You can quickly modify existing products or engineer new products and save them back to your library. It's your library and you are in control.
Go beyond cabinetry and engineer custom one-off products such as reception areas, curved die walls, store fixtures, countertops, and other unique products.
Use advanced solid modeling and analysis tools to create complex products from architectural sections and plan drawings.
Import 3D models from Inventor, SolidWorks, and other modeling applications, and utilize the analysis tools to convert these 3D solids into production-ready products.
Manufacturing
Whether you're a small shop with traditional non-CNC machinery or a large-scale manufacturer with automated CNC machinery, Microvellum streamlines workflows, boosts efficiency, and empowers you to get more done, faster.
Automatically generate cut lists that include part names, material specifications, dimensions, quantities, edgebanding, finishing details and other project or part specific details.
Generate detailed cut pattern reports for table saws or vertical panel saws.
Create optimized cut patterns and files for your CNC-enabled saws and nested-based routers.
Get organized by creating unique part/product barcodes that contain specific project information, ensuring that every part or product on your production floor is trackable.
