// MODULE: PATTERN LIBRARIES

Build Smarter with Reusable, Modular Patterns

The Pattern Libraries module provides a rapid-entry tree interface for defining reusable workflow components—Components, Assemblies, Materials lists, and Process stages. Click any node to load entry forms, configure records, and instantly apply patterns to projects or templates.

Required Modules: Inventory Control, Materials & Parts List, Materials Management

Core Features

• Reusable Structure Blocks: Create and manage components, parts lists, and work orders as portable pattern objects
• Hierarchical Tree View: Navigate Components, Assemblies, Materials & Parts, and Process flows in a single expandable tree for rapid template creation
• Cutlist & Specification Support: Store measurements, STL links, and material nesting logic per pattern element
• Central Library Management: Edit patterns centrally and control versioning, active/inactive status, and import settings globally

Library Options

• Cabinet Library: Standard and custom cabinet designs with component and material breakdowns
• Furniture Library: Reusable furniture patterns for chairs, tables, and casegoods
• G-Code Library: Store CNC programs and toolpath files (requires Documents History)
• Intarsia & Inlay Library: Decorative woodworking patterns segmented by material and design
• Pen Kits & Turners Library: Precision pen and turning component assemblies
• Scroll Saw Library: Detailed cut patterns and blade configurations for scroll work
• Wood Carving Library: Step-by-step carving patterns and tooling guides
• Other Project Templates: Miscellaneous pattern collections for unique builds
• Additional Libraries on Request: We can develop new pattern libraries tailored to your specific fabrication, assembly, or project workflows

Ideal Use Cases

• Custom Fabrication: Automate and standardize repetitive build processes across large shops
• Mass Production Planning: Quickly assemble template trees for high-volume runs with consistent quality
• Rapid Prototyping: Spin up new design libraries for concept validation and testing
• Assembly Line Configuration: Define and deploy multi-stage workflows with clear component definitions
• High-Precision CNC Operations: Embed G-code patterns and nesting routines for efficient machining

Optional Integrations

• 📁 Project Templates — Combine patterns into full project blueprints
• 🪚 Cutlist Manager — Apply pattern dimensions directly to cutlist optimization
• 🧾 Invoices & Quotes — Quote pattern-defined assemblies and services
