Too Much Material Going to Waste
Poor nesting layouts waste 15-25% of sheet goods on every run. At today's panel prices, that adds up to thousands in lost profit each month and makes it tough to bid competitively.
Microvellum Shop Drawings - Expert Drafting & Support
Parametric millwork models with optimized nesting, automated BOM generation, and CNC-ready toolpaths. Our Microvellum specialists help you cut smarter, build faster, and waste less material.
Toolpath Errors Crashing Your CNC
Bad toolpath settings lead to tool breakage, panel damage, and machine downtime. Each crash wastes the panel being cut and means expensive tool replacement and recalibration before you can start cutting again.
No Parametric Libraries, So Everything Starts from Scratch
Without a solid parametric library, every new project means building from zero. Your Microvellum operators spend hours on models that should take minutes, and that bottleneck limits how many projects you can take on.
Slow BOMs Holding Up Your Orders
When bills of materials take days to put together and verify, your purchasing team can't order materials in time. That pushes back production and makes it hard to meet installation deadlines.
Nesting That Gets More from Every Sheet
Our nesting specialists hit 85-92% material yield through smart panel arrangement, grain matching, and offcut tracking. You'll see a real drop in sheet goods waste compared to manual or default nesting.
Toolpaths Checked Before They Touch Your Machine
We verify every toolpath for correct tool selection, feed rates, plunge depths, and clearance heights before delivery. We simulate the cut to catch collisions and make sure your CNC runs clean from the first panel.
Parametric Libraries Built for Your Products
We build parametric libraries around your product lines and how you actually build. Once set up, your team can configure new projects in minutes while keeping quality and construction methods consistent.
BOMs Generated Automatically
Our parametric models produce complete bills of materials on their own, covering sheet goods, hardware, edge banding, and accessories. BOMs come formatted for direct import into your ERP or purchasing system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What material yield do you typically achieve with nesting?
We typically hit 85-92% material yield, depending on part sizes and grain matching needs. For panels that don't need grain matching, we consistently get above 90%. We also track offcuts so usable remnants get cataloged for future jobs instead of thrown away.
Can you build custom Microvellum libraries for our products?
Yes, custom library development is one of our core Microvellum services. We build parametric product libraries that match your exact construction methods, materials, and hardware preferences. Once set up, your team can configure complex products in minutes instead of hours.
Do you support all Microvellum versions?
Yes, we work with both current and older versions of Microvellum. Our team includes certified Microvellum pros who stay on top of platform updates and new features. We can also help with version upgrades and data migration.
How do you handle grain matching in nesting?
We set up nesting rules that respect grain direction on visible parts while allowing free rotation on hidden components. That way, you keep the look your clients expect while still getting the best possible yield on non-visible pieces.
Can you integrate Microvellum output with our ERP system?
Yes. We format BOM output and production data to work with popular ERP systems in the millwork industry. Whether you use Innergy, 2020 Insight, or a custom system, we set up Microvellum exports to match your data format so everything imports cleanly.
