Justin Mason: I’m part of the Microvellum User Advisory Group – you guys are so kind as to let me help. Microvellum: Why is it that you have a Beta version? I also have the R3 release in Beta, which I have tested quite a bit and have run a few projects through to production. Justin Mason: We run all of our live production through the Toolbox v15 R2 release.

Microvellum: What version of Toolbox are you running right now? One point to point, one nested-based auto-loading CNC and a beam saw utilizing ALIS for printing labels. Justin Mason: We have 2 CNC machines out in the shop. Microvellum: And how many different machines do you have connected with Microvellum? Justin Mason: Well, Interior Woodworking Specialists has had Microvellum since 2006, but I have been using it for about 4 years. Microvellum: How long have you been using Microvellum Software? You can draw and engineer things that all fit together and just work. We have to engineer for metal stone, glass and I really think Microvellum helps us in that way, because it’s in AutoCAD. Solid woods, plywood, veneer, reclaimed wood, plastic laminates, plexiglass. Radius, curve, arch… On a daily basis we have to work with so many different types of materials. We also do restaurants, anything from bars from bars to booths. We do a lot of retail store fixtures, display fixtures, cash POS, entry ways, and a lot of wall paneling. We do corporate TI, which includes casework, reception desks, wall paneling. Justin Mason: Well, the majority of our business comes from commercial projects. Can you tell us a bit more about your company? We’d like to learn about what IWS does and how you use you’re Microvellum Software. Justin Mason: Yes, I’m with Interior Woodworking Specialists, in the greater Seattle area in Washington State (United States). Microvellum: Can you tell us where IWS located again?
