3 things you will not do in any other CAD

Various types of furniture design softwares are available in the market. What are the differences between them and WOODEXPERT?

When selecting the furniture design software, we most frequently have clearly pre-defined requirements and, as a result, seek appropriate functionalities adapted to our needs. When testing the software, it is worth finding the differences and unique features that set it apart from the rest of the solutions on the market and address the recurring shortcomings in software for the furniture industry. Let’s check several WOODEXPERT functionalities that no other furniture design software has.

1. COLOUR VARIANTS

In WOODEXPERT, we can create a user-selected number of looks based on a single material legend. We assign a different finish to a given component format: in this way we get any number of defined looks in a dozen seconds, with the possibility of creating different configurations on the furniture depending on the project.

This is of great importance in the case of different color variations of a piece of furniture within a single collection. A material in a given look can be edited, changed and removed at any time.

In addition, we have the ability to create a material legend based on a given appearance, through a selection in a dedicated tab. This allows us to create separate documentation with dedicated drawings.

2. ASISTED ASSIGNMENT OF SUPPORT AND FINISHING MATERIALS

Assignment of materials separately to every surface is time-consuming and risky as some components may be omitted. Efficient assignment of a material to an appropriate location allows for faster and accurate development of drawings, valuations, documentation, as well as completion of the entire design process. An advance search engine allows for automatic selection of appropriate components, as well as their preview and editing.

In the search engine of the WOODEXPERT furniture design program, we can select several search options at the same time, making the relevant elements and surfaces even more precise. Automatic division of support and finishing materials in a drop-down list from the legend also accelerates and simplifies the whole process.

3. PACKING MODULE

The packing function in WOODEXPERT completes the furniture design and production preparation process. Creating a user-specific number of packages, and selecting the packing method, number of layers, separators and assigning components to a given package allow for appropriate and fast arrangement of furniture storage and shipment. Preview of each package considerably facilitates the process of creating and editing packages.

We have full control and can create company-specific configurations at all times. The possibility to obtain an accurate documentation with preview and adding notes makes the design and production documentation more comprehensive and complete the process within single software. We have the furniture from sketch to package, without investing in additional software.

I have presented the 3 most significant advantages of WOODEXPERT that distinguish it from other furniture design and manufacturing software. But it doesn’t stop there — our team is constantly working on developing the functionality based on our experience and customer suggestions. Modern furniture market is characterised by continuous growth and optimisation of all design and production processes, which is why we have set a goal to create an end-to-end tool that fully satisfies these demands.
