The Bridge Between Drafting & Workshop Execution

The Smartest CAD Software for Custom Cabinet Manufacturing.

Don't draw dumb lines in AutoCAD or get locked in rigid template software. Plan rooms in 2D, place real 3D wardrobes that understand Height (H), and let the Brain instantly generate your cutlists, CNC optimization, and BOQ shopping lists.

Your Workshop is Bleeding Profit on the Engineering Table

Every custom cabinet requires dozens of engineering decisions. One mistake in groove depth, boring position, or edge banding deduction costs more than a year of software.

Manual Calculations

2-4 hours per project on panel sizing, hardware positions, and material deductions.

Cost: Delayed quotes, missed deadlines

Spreadsheet Errors

One wrong formula propagates through every panel. By the time you catch it, materials are already cut.

Cost: $500+ per ruined job

Creeping Dimensions

Forgetting to deduct 2mm edge banding per side turns a 600mm cabinet into 604mm. It won't fit.

Cost: Rework, angry customers

CNC Crashes

Wrong boring depths or missing flip indicators destroy panels and machine bits.

Cost: Machine downtime, scrap panels

Material Waste

Poor layouts ignore your scrap inventory and grain direction. You buy more sheets than needed.

Cost: 15-25% material overhead

Tribal Knowledge Risk

When your best engineer leaves, their expertise walks out. New hires start from zero.

Cost: Inconsistent quality, training burden

Escape the Woodworking Software Trap

For decades, custom cabinet shops have been forced to choose between three flawed tools. We built the fourth option.

Traditional 2D CAD

AutoCAD and DraftSight give you drawing freedom, but you're drawing "dumb lines" without height or depth. You still manually calculate joinery and boring math in Excel.

High Error Rate

3D Showroom Rendering

SketchUp and 2020 Design create pretty pictures to sell homeowners, but they produce zero reliable manufacturing data, boring coordinates, or optimization for the shop floor.

Zero CNC Output

Smart CAD for Cabinets

Place real, dynamic wardrobes that understand Height (H). Show clients an instant linked 3D render while the Brain calculates flawless cutlists, CNC optimization, and BOQ pricing.

Smart 2D/3D Room Layout

This is an easy-to-use 3D CAD where you place real units, not just squares and rectangles. The CAD plan inherently understands Height (H), depth, and spatial boundaries. Draw walls, set room heights, and drop in doors and windows with CAD-grade snapping.

AI Design Assistant: If you are too tired to place cabinets after a long day, make the AI do the design for you! Just draw the room plan, and the AI assistant populates an ergonomic cabinet layout instantly.
Why This Makes Your Life Easier:

You get the total drafting freedom of AutoCAD without dealing with "dumb lines." The software knows you are drawing a real physical cabinet, preventing spatial clashes before you even finish layout.

Parametric Wardrobes & Instant 3D View

In parametric wardrobe placement, your 2D CAD and 3D showroom views are 100% linked. As you place wardrobes and cabinets in the layout, a stunning 3D designer environment is formed from the CAD plan simultaneously—instantly ready for client presentation.

Why This Makes Your Life Easier:

You never have to export your floor plan to a separate rendering program just to show a client what their dressing room looks like. Make a live 2D dimension change in front of the customer, and the 3D client view updates on the spot.

The Brain of Cabinet Manufacturing

Meet the hero of the entire software: The Brain for Cabinet Manufacturing. It understands the exact material thickness you are working with and acts as your senior technical engineer, determining the precise size of each individual piece in the project to generate a flawless cutlist.

One-of-a-Kind Feature: Automated Wall Auto-Split

You don't have to manually calculate and break down individual units! Just draw whole walls in a dressing room (e.g., a 5-meter run), and the application automatically divides the wall according to the material limits you are using—while respecting your design 100%.

Why This Makes Your Life Easier:

It eliminates hours of complex joinery math and spreadsheet error-checking. Plus, it automatically deducts edge banding thickness from raw part dimensions so cabinets never suffer from creeping dimension errors.

CNC & Joinery Optimization

We don't just call this nesting; we call it Optimization. Our optimizer doesn't simply cut rectangular panels to reduce waste—it places all boring and grooves directly onto the sheet so that you can CNC the entire project in one unified workflow and slash production time.

Dynamic Accessory Swapping: You get to change any joining accessory on the fly (e.g., switching from minifix connectors to dowels, or changing hinge brands), and the entire CNC optimization adapts all boring coordinates instantly!
Why This Makes Your Life Easier:

Your CNC machine operator receives layered DXF files with zero guesswork. The software maps every hole and groove while explicitly flagging Face A and Face B machining operations so boards are never drilled on the wrong side.

Precision Costing, BOQ & Shopping List

Pricing and Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is a completely dedicated intelligence section. You don't just know how many panels you need—you know exact quantities of hinges, drawer runners, and linear meters of edge banding consumed.

Total Financial Control & Purchasing

Add your target markup margin, workshop overhead %, and job contingency % directly into the ledger. The software tells you precisely how much you should sell the job for while simultaneously generating an itemized shopping list for your purchasing manager.

Why This Makes Your Life Easier:

You never underquote a complex job or forget to charge for expensive hardware and waste overhead again. You lock in your profit margins before cutting a single board, while handing your supplier a ready-to-buy shopping list.

Workshops That Stopped Losing Money

"The software caught that our 18mm back panel groove would snap on the 15mm material we actually had in stock. That would have been 12 ruined panels and a missed deadline."

ER
Elena Rodriguez Technical Office, Custom Interiors
Prevented $2,400 in scrap panels

"We cut a full kitchen in 2 days. Before CutList, that was a 2-week job with 3 people checking spreadsheets. Last month we did 4 kitchens with the same team."

MC
Marcus Chen Production Manager, Westwood Cabinetry
4x more projects, same team size

"When our senior engineer left, I was terrified. But CutList had captured all his logic — reveals, boring depths, construction methods. New hires are productive in a day."

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. CutList Generator Studio includes an AutoCAD-style 2D layout editor with plan view, elevation view, wall drawing, wall editing, door and window placement, object snap, grid snap, selection windows, grips, move, rotate, copy, dimensions, image underlay import, scaling, and PNG export for shop drawings.

Those platforms rely on template libraries and fixed construction assumptions. CutList Generator dynamically recalculates engineering logic for each unique project, adapts to any material thickness, and handles custom hardware systems without pre-configuration. We don't force you into a template — we engineer your actual design.

Yes. We export layered DXF files compatible with all major CAM software. Enterprise plans include native post-processors for Biesse, Homag, SCM, and others. The Face A/B flip indicators ensure your operator knows exactly when to flip panels.

The software captures your construction logic — reveals, boring depths, material deductions, assembly methods — and makes it repeatable. New hires follow the same process on day one. Your engineering knowledge becomes a system, not a person.

Most users are productive within a day. The interface is designed for furniture professionals, not software engineers. If you understand cabinet construction, you already understand the software. Training is available for teams that want deeper onboarding.
