Imagine iDigit like the perfect sofa. It’s modular, feels smooth to use, versatile and lasts for life.
The upholstery industry has a wide range of requirements in terms of pattern digitization, since the material, colour and size of the templates can vary depending on the specialty of the user. It’s one of the industries where our clients use iDigit Lite, XL and Plus alike. It’s also a segment of our user base where creativity is at its highest when it comes to customizing their own iDigit installation, thanks to the in-house woodwork capabilities they possess.
Why iDigit ?
Some of the many reasons that make iDigit the optimal digitising solution for the furniture industry
Versatile pattern digitising
The CAD rooms in furniture factories and workshops can be in various parts of the workspace and although sometimes they can accommodate an iDigit board on the wall, floor or a table in some cases one might prefer designating another room or open space on the factory floor for digitising purposes. In some cases one might need the digitising station to be mobile, so that it could be utilized in different parts of the factory.
The most popular pattern materials used in the upholstery industry are paper, card, fabric and leather with occasional use of foam and plywood.
It's not a coincidence that we have a solution for each of these challenges, as customer feedback is the direct force that drives the dynamics that shape iDigit over the course of its evolution. This can be possible only with a keen ear towards clients that can be tuned via a close relationship with them.
Extensive CAD editing functions
In addition to the versatile physical setup, iDigit also offers various features and functions directly intended for furniture patterns. Besides getting your patterns vectorized automatically in seconds, along with their outlines, notches, internal slits and drill holes you can also edit them in an extensive way including seam allowance, size alterations (whole or partial), symmetry and much more.
