Microvellum shop drawings that run your CNC without production delays.

Wrong schedules, unverified bore details, missed hardware specs — these don’t just slow a drawing, they stop your floor. We handle them so they never reach yours.

Sound familiar?

What’s happening in your shop right now.

These aren’t hypotheticals. They’re the situations that cost commercial shops weeks of production every year.

Your drafter is stuck in the library again

A hardware token mismatch. A product starter that won’t load. A processing rule that was right last month. Three hours in, still not drawing.

Lost: 3+ hrs per incident

The submittal came back, again

The architect redlines, the GC wants a revised hardware schedule, the owner’s rep flags a finish. Two weeks of revisions on a job that should have passed first time.

Lost: 2 weeks per rejection

The CNC floor is waiting on files

Drawings are done but the files aren’t right — wrong edgebanding, a nesting layout that wastes a full sheet, the wrong bore. The floor sits idle and the job is late.

Lost: a full production day
The real problem

Microvellum is powerful software. Set up correctly and run by someone who knows your library, your construction methods, and your machine, it produces files that cut clean and drawings that get approved. The phrase doing all the work in that sentence is “set up correctly.”

Most shops have a library that grew organically — product starters added over years, hardware tokens that were right when the spec was written and wrong when the hardware changed. It is a living document, and most shops do not have the bandwidth to keep it clean.

Outsource to someone who does not know your library and you get files that look right until they hit the floor. Then the errors show up, and you are the one fixing them. Millmetric works the other way around: before we draw a single sheet, we audit your library, learn your methods, and configure for your machine.

How it works

Four steps from plans to floor

01

Send us your plans

Upload architectural drawings, elevations, and specs. Tell us your CNC machine, AWI grade, and deadline.

02

We audit your library

We review your product starters, processing rules, and hardware tokens, and match your construction methods before drawing.

03

We build the drawings

Every piece modeled in Microvellum using your library, with AWI-compliant sheets and machine-configured CNC files.

04

You receive files that work

CNC-ready files, AWI-QCP submittals, and full production reports — everything to run the job, floor to submittal.

FAQ

Microvellum Drafting, answered.

Yes. We audit your library, product starters, and hardware tokens up front and draw using your setup, so the output matches how your shop actually builds.
