In the world of woodworking, creativity is the cornerstone of innovation and artistry. Traditional methods have served craftsmen well for centuries, but as technology advances, so do the tools available to expand creative boundaries. Autodesk Inventor, a powerful CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, offers woodworkers a unique opportunity to enhance their creativity and bring complex designs to life that would be challenging, if not impossible, to achieve manually. In this post, we’ll explore how Autodesk Inventor can elevate your woodworking projects through features like parametric design and 3D modeling. Continue reading…
In the woodworking industry, traditional methods and familiar tools often dominate the landscape. Many woodworkers rely on software specifically marketed for their craft, often overlooking tools like Autodesk Inventor. This oversight can be attributed to several misconceptions. However, these misunderstandings can prevent woodworkers from experiencing the numerous advantages that Autodesk Inventor can offer. Let’s explore why people might not see Autodesk Inventor as a solution for woodworking and why this perspective is mistaken. Continue reading…

Time flies, and another year has passed. As every spring, we are releasing a new version of Woodwork for Inventor (free 45 days trial available HERE), now at version 15. This year, our biggest challenge was adapting to Autodesk Inventor’s transition to .NET 8 from .NET Framework. To ensure compatibility with Inventor 2025, we also had to migrate Woodwork to .NET 8.0. This required numerous internal changes and significant effort. While we achieved this, we can’t completely abandon the old .NET version yet, as Woodwork supports the current and two previous Inventor versions. Therefore, we’ll maintain both .NET versions for a few more years.
Despite the challenges, the new framework offers advantages. First, it improves Woodwork’s performance. Second, it simplifies the programmers’ work, increasing development speed. Continue reading…
Production relies heavily on information (see S3). This information not only needs to be delivered promptly but also in a format that is easily digestible, minimizing the effort required on the shop floor to comprehend and utilize it. Information intended for production must be both comprehensive and unambiguous, ensuring its usability. Continue reading…
For a manufacturing company to effectively operate its core production and supporting processes, including warehousing, logistics, and accounting, it relies on a robust information management system. In addition to the physical production flow that transforms raw materials into final products, there exists an essential information flow that supplies all the necessary data to oversee and regulate the primary flow, keeping it on track and under control. Continue reading…
It is safe to say that design changes are an integral part of the furniture construction process. On one hand, this is due to the nature of the process, which is particularly evident in the design of more complex furniture. Before the design can fully align with the designer’s ultimate vision, it is often necessary to implement various modifications and create multiple design iterations. Continue reading…
The work undertaken by the Design Unito can be divided into two distinct components: crafting the furniture model and assembling the requisite production information. Crafting a piece of furniture is a creative endeavor, the duration of which is directly contingent upon the intricacy of the piece. On the other hand, preparing information entails the mechanical task of extracting essential data from the designed furniture model, including drawings, Bill of Materials (BOMs), and, in certain cases, the development of CNC programs by the design unit. Continue reading…
It took us only 10 years to bring you this, so don’t miss your chance, because another one might not come for another 10.
