Microcad Software, a pioneer in technological solutions for design and manufacturing in the furniture sector, will showcase its latest innovations at SICI 2024, held in Valencia from September 30 to October 3, 2024. Among these innovations is Autokitchen 25, the latest version of its popular kitchen design software, along with new tools that maintain the philosophy of its established products: flexibility, power, simplicity, and speed of use. In contrast to industry trends, Microcad Software continues to offer both purchase and rental options for its software, depending on customer preference.
Autokitchen 25 stands out for its superior design freedom compared to other options on the market, as well as its power and quality in rendering and generating precise technical documentation, such as dimensioned plans and installation drawings. The new version improves project presentation and reduces the time needed to complete them.
Notable new features include:
- Automatic kitchen planner for any layout, based on the desired positioning of appliances. An AI system optimizes the layout based on the available space and the designer’s preferences.
- Automation tools for furnishing, such as automatic adjustment of furniture to fit the available space, collections of favorite doors and handles, quick material searches, and more.
- Tools to streamline project documentation generation. With just one click, an entire project can be printed as a PDF with plans, dimensioned elevations, and photorealistic images.
- Enhanced 3D project visualization during design, rendering, panoramas, and virtual walkthroughs. The real-time material change function has been improved for virtual reality walkthroughs, allowing the client to explore the kitchen and change materials for furniture, doors, and countertops, selecting from options pre-approved by the designer.
- Improvements in editing AutoCAD and SketchUp blocks. Depending on the block type, once inserted into the design, it can be scaled, materials can be changed, layers of the block can be hidden, and more. This opens up a world of possibilities for enhancing designs with millions of real manufacturer blocks available online.
- Improvements in integration with manufacturing and production programs. Additional controls limit furniture modifications based on manufacturer-permitted options, such as fixed dimensions or only allowing width, height, or depth reductions.
Additionally, Microcad Software will present significant enhancements to its tool for creating and maintaining catalogs for small and medium-sized manufacturers. A key highlight is the new Price List Generator, which offers a semi-automated solution to quickly configure catalog pricing based on pre-set components and rules, without using formulas. This tool allows the automatic generation of a PDF catalog with codes, descriptions, images, and prices.
