    Program Overview

    The Microvellum Certification Program is a modular, hands-on training course designed to prepare students for careers in custom woodworking, cabinetry design, and manufacturing automation using Microvellum software. Built on the AutoCAD platform, Microvellum is a powerful industry-specific tool used to design, engineer, and manufacture custom millwork with precision and efficiency.

    This program introduces students to the Microvellum environment, project setup, and library management, before progressing into product design, parametric editing, material optimization, and production reporting. Learners gain experience in creating custom cabinets, generating detailed shop drawings, and exporting part data for CNC machining and automated workflows.

    Ideal for students with backgrounds in cabinetmaking, woodworking, or manufacturing, this course bridges the gap between design and fabrication, enabling learners to integrate digital tools into real-world production processes and contribute to streamlined operations in architectural millwork and interior fabrication.
