Woodwork for Inventor – Furniture Design Software
woodwork 15 for inventor 2023-2025
Woodwork for Inventor is industry-specific furniture design software designed for woodworkers and fully integrated into Autodesk Inventor. What does it bring to the table that simple Autodesk Inventor can‘t deliver? Although Autodesk Inventor is a very powerful design engine, it doesn‘t provide tools for specific industries like the furniture design industry. We understand the specific needs of woodworkers and which aspects of the regular modeling workflow would take them the most time to do. And we focused on that with Woodwork for Inventor. Our software is built around the skeletal modeling design approach which is ideal for the rapid prototyping nature of panel design.
What lifts it to the next level is iBox technology. It is built around the use of pre-defined assemblies with woodworking functionality built into them. iBox allows to stretch, to shrink and it‘s all based according to the design conditions that you‘ve set. And user can author or publish their standard product into the iBox technology. Moreover, users can create their own iBox library which will be major advantage.
Woodwork for Inventor is highly flexible in wood material management, it allows you to work with various material profiles and cover material types.
Unified hardware items library with automated component placement, automatic sculpt and subtraction for hole fittings and connection joints. Automatic generation of Furniture design industry-tailored BOM (Bill of Materials). Automatic drawings generation. CNC programs and much more – all covered in Woodwork for Inventor.
It is used by the world’s most forward-thinking and prestigious designers. Versatility and variety of industries that Woodwork for Inventor is used in are impressive – Italian boutique furniture designers, residential kitchens designers, commercial shopfront fitters.
Woodwork for Inventor speaks your language – English, French, German, Russian, Polish, Italian and Spanish languages.
Woodwork for Inventor features
New Features
This version introduces 22 new features and improvements. Here’s a brief overview:
CAM Milling Styles: These features significantly reduce the steps needed to create CAM technology. When creating technologies automatically (Auto CNC), more complex contour processing technologies can be created. This feature was developed based on market demands.
AutoPlot Functionality Improvements: Several enhancements make AutoPlot more efficient, freeing designers from routine tasks and allowing more time for creativity. While AI might fully take over this task in the future, current tools cannot completely eliminate the need for human involvement. We aim to reduce the manual work required as much as possible.
New “BOM App” for Specification Generation: Introduced last year as a trial, it becomes the main BOM generator this year. Users can still switch to the old BOM generator in this version, but we strongly recommend transitioning to the new one. It is more powerful and offers more capabilities. From the next version, the old BOM generator will be discontinued, leaving BOMApp as the sole option.
In addition to numerous improvements, this version’s BOM App is now “open” – it includes an API that allows users to directly access information from the BOM and use it for their purposes without intermediate files like Excel, CSV, XML, etc.
Renaming Schemes API: Previously, users were limited by Woodwork’s capabilities when creating coding schemes. Starting from version 15, they can create their plugins that allow them to implement coding schemes that best meet their needs during copying or renaming.
Multiplication arrangement of furniture hardware
Components, axes defining the hardware position, component database, etc.
Size calculations of part and blank
Texture direction, overlaps, added coating, sunk coating, etc.
Automatic generation of drawings
Drawings, templates, annotations, projections, scaling, etc.
Use of prototype and assembly copying
Renaming of files, connections between components, hierarchical encoding, etc.
Data integration with the Autodesk Vault program
Dimensions, materials, data, specification, etc.
