What Microvellum does

Microvellum is a private US-based software company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Central Point, Oregon, that builds design-to-manufacturing software for the woodworking and cabinetry industry. Its core product, Microvellum Toolbox, is a professional CAD application built on AutoCAD and BricsCAD that delivers 2D and 3D cabinet design, engineering, shop drawing generation, material optimization with cut lists, cost estimation, and CNC machine code output tailored specifically to cabinet makers, commercial millwork shops, custom woodworkers, and architectural woodwork firms. The company has extended this core CAD platform into an adjacent software ecosystem, including the INNERGY ERP for shop management (sales quoting, production planning, inventory, scheduling, and job costing) and the INNERGY peAk training platform (now hosting Microvellum University's free instructional content), creating a unified stack from design through manufacturing and shop operations.

The business runs on a B2B annual subscription model with quote-based pricing and flexible monthly or annual payment options, distributed through a direct sales motion anchored by a 'Request a Demo' call-to-action and supported by a free training platform (Microvellum University/INNERGY peAk) and an extensive co-marketing ecosystem of 30+ partners spanning CNC machinery OEMs (Biesse, SCM, HOMAG, KDT, Excitech), hardware suppliers (Blum, Hettich, Richelieu, Hafele, Salice, Accuride), and industry associations (AWI, WCA, AWMAC, WIA, AWFS). The company serves a primarily mid-market customer base across North America, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, with named customers spanning small-to-mid-sized cabinet and millwork manufacturers. It is privately held, has not disclosed funding rounds, and is led by President David Fairbanks, who also sits on the AWFS Education Committee.

Microvellum monetizes through recurring software subscriptions and benefits from high customer workflow integration (templates, hardware libraries, CNC code output, ERP data flow) that generate meaningful switching costs. Its strategic positioning emphasizes domain specialization ('built for woodworkers, by woodworkers'), regulatory alignment with AWI standards, and interoperability with virtually every major CNC and hardware brand in the category. The company operates within a global woodworking design software market sized at $12.46B in 2025 with a projected 9.82% CAGR through 2033, providing a multi-year tailwind for organic growth.
