[21]How to Handle Multiple Connector Grades in a Real Factory

If you run a furniture factory, you already know this problem:

Same cabinet design — but different connector grades depending on budget.

Sometimes the customer wants Minifix.
Sometimes they want a cheaper version with a different diameter.
Sometimes you switch from visible to invisible connectors (like Lamello, VB35, or other hidden systems).

And if you don’t manage this properly?

You’ll waste time reworking holes, remaking panels, or—even worse—installing with the wrong connector.


🎯 How I Solve This with Floefurni

In Floefurni, the answer is simple but powerful:

Connector Presets.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Design the cabinet once using parametric logic.
  2. Create multiple connector presets (for each grade, size, or brand).
    • Example: Minifix 15mm, Minifix 12mm, Lamello, Dowell set, etc.
  3. When you’re ready for production, just select the preset you want.

✅ All connector holes, placement rules, and drill settings will automatically update—
without redrawing or manually editing anything.


🏭 Real Example:

  • Project A = Budget job → Use Preset: Minifix 10mm (cheap)
  • Project B = High-end finish → Use Preset: Invisible connector (hidden system)
  • Project C = Urgent job with leftover stock → Use Preset: Minifix 15mm (stocked)

One cabinet file.
Three connector options.
No errors. No rework. Just smart setup.


🛠️ Why This Matters

  • Less time managing files
  • Fewer mistakes in drilling
  • Flexibility to match cost, stock, and customer spec

This is how modern factories move fast without losing control.
