In 2021, Indigo Cabinets faced a major setback when a fire devastated their workshop, erasing 20 years of hard work. In 2022, they relocated to a new 7,500 ft² facility equipped with advanced machinery and a skilled team. However, inefficiencies and workflow issues persisted, prompting the search for a better software solution. That’s when they discovered Microvellum’s AutoCAD-based software, would integrate seamlessly with their SCM Morbidelli X200 and Felder H08 nesting machines.
CNC Precision Drives Growth
By adopting Microvellum, Indigo Cabinets drastically improved their production process. The software’s direct integration with CNC machinery allowed them to automate the creation of CNC programs, reducing manual intervention and CNC processing time. The company also shifted to a dado construction method, which significantly improved speed and productivity. “Microvellum simplifies complex joinery,” shared Matt, Manager of Indigo Cabinets. “What once took us two hours to draft now takes 30 minutes.”
Boosting Efficiency with Automated Joinery Tools
Microvellum’s all-in-one platform enabled Indigo Cabinets to centralize tasks such as 2D drawings, 3D models, cutting lists, and reports, reducing human errors and speeding up production. Matt, who spent years using various design programs, expressed his satisfaction: “Microvellum is my dream software. It’s an all-in-one solution for everything we need.”
Microvellum Enhances Engineering Accuracy and Reduces Production Errors
Indigo Cabinets experienced a significant drop in errors and a notable improvement in assembly precision since adopting Microvellum. "We’ve seen a reduction in errors during assembly and quicker turnaround times," Matt said. This efficiency allowed the company to take on more projects, meeting deadlines without compromising on quality.
Future Growth Through Seamless Data Integration
With Microvellum's seamless data integration, Indigo Cabinets is now better positioned for growth. The company plans to hire a dedicated designer and boost production capacity, driven by the newfound efficiency the software provides. The automation tools, combined with CNC integration, enable the company to expand their operations while maintaining high levels of precision and quality.
Indigo Cabinets continues to evolve with Microvellum’s powerful tools, laying the foundation for long-term success. "I couldn’t recommend Microvellum highly enough! Anyone hesitating to invest should make the leap; they won’t regret it," Matt emphasized. With cutting-edge technology and streamlined workflows, Indigo Cabinets is poised for future growth in the woodworking industry.
