The edge band covers the end face of a part and determines how the product looks and how long it lasts. This section gathers everything about edge banding in iFurn.pro: from choosing the band to pricing the service in the order calculation.
What you will find here: assigning edge bands to part sides; pre-jointing of the end face before banding; curved edges; additional edge treatment — rounding (R), inset handles (H), bevel cut (C) and chamfer (F); colour marks for bands in the order; edge-banding pricing; the client’s own band (customer-supplied material); band-to-panel compatibility rules.
The section is addressed both to the client placing an order in the cabinet and to the factory technologist who maintains the band catalogue and banding rules.
Besides the band, an end face can receive additional finishing: an angled cut for hidden joints, a chamfer, rounding instead of a sharp edge, or an inset handle right in the end face. All four types are set up in one “Ed…
OpenThe most frequent edging scenario in iFurn.pro is picking a tape on a part side in half a second. Four sides — four dropdowns, and a fifth one sets the tape on all sides at once. And when the operator needs speed, the qu…
OpenThree letters that stand for a whole industry — EVA, PUR and laser activation. EVA is the classic, affordable hot-melt glue everyone knows; it holds the band well enough for most household scenarios. PUR is a polyurethan…
OpenThe client comes with their own tape: bought in bulk, has surplus from a past project, brought an exotic decor not in the company catalog. In iFurn.pro this is a standard scenario: the start screen has a «Client material…
OpenA rounded worktop, a door with a radius corner, a curved bar-counter front — where the edge stops being a straight line, curved edging begins. The machine no longer just feeds the part along a straight path: it leads the…
OpenThe band and the board are a pair, and iFurn.pro watches its correctness by itself. The first axis is geometry: a tape suits a part only if its width is no less than the part's thickness plus the company's technological …
OpenEdging is not only glue and tape, it is also labour: the machine, the operator, depreciation. The factory builds all of it into the per-metre service rate. In the order costing the band turns into money on the company's …
OpenBefore a factory chooses "how to bond", it chooses "with what". This section covers the edge material itself: thin PVC tape, durable ABS, the technological laser edge with its built-in fusible layer for seamless activati…
OpenEvery band meets the board along a thin glue line — and it is this line that gives away a «cheap» edge if it is visible. On a white tape a white seam is almost invisible; on a black one you need black; on wood — transpar…
OpenNine out of ten parts in a furniture project are rectangles: shelves, doors, side panels, tops. Each has four straight edges, and each edge can get its own band: a thick 2 mm band on the visible front edge, a thin 0.4 mm…
