The edge is the face of the panel. When a person runs their hand along a cabinet door or a countertop, they are touching the edge band — not the board beneath it. The edge decides whether the furniture looks "expensive", whether it survives ten years of kitchen steam and moisture, whether it passes a competitor's first-glance test — and how seamlessly the edge merges with the front, hiding the joint.
The "Edge banding of detail edges" section gathers everything iFurn.pro gives the craftsman and the factory for this task: edge materials — PVC, ABS, laser edge, veneer; three bonding technologies — EVA, PUR and laser activation; choice of glue-line colour for an invisible joint; straight and curved edges; group assignment of an edge to dozens of parts at once; additional edge treatment — bevel, chamfer, rounding, integrated handles.
The same section covers calculation of the edge-banding service in the order, the client's own edge band (consigned material), the "band ↔ board" compatibility rules and prompts on when to apply a linked pair — so the edge comes out truly seamless.
This section is useful both for the factory just starting with iFurn.pro and for the competitor curious to see how a modern platform answers the question of "how to make an edge that looks perfect" — on a single screen and without paper.
Sometimes the edge is more than a tape. An angled cut for hidden joints, a chamfer for a decorative contour, rounding instead of a sharp rib, recessed handles milled right into the edge instead of traditional hardware — …
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 be assigned its own edge band: one along the top and bottom, another along t…
