Design in SketchUp.
Manufacture in minutes.
Cabinets rebuild themselves when you change a dimension.
Design in SketchUp.
Models, connectors, materials —
one library.
System, company, and personal tiers, synced from the cloud.
Pack panels smarter.
Buy fewer sheets.
Grain-aware nesting — 14% fewer sheets on a 60-panel kitchen benchmark.
A SketchUp extension for cabinet shops
- Parametric design
- Joinery & edge banding
- Nesting
- CNC code & reports
Who it's for
Three ways in. One gap to close.
You draw for factories
The shop redraws your model anyway.
Send files the machine accepts.
You're starting a shop
You have the machine. Not the route to it.
Design and cut from one model.
You already run a shop
Locked into software with its own CAD.
Keep SketchUp. Replace the handoff.
What you draw
Change one dimension. The whole cabinet re-solves.
A cabinet here is rules, not boxes you nudge back into place.
- Dividers reposition By ratio, fixed distance, or anchored — never blindly scaled.
- Carcass re-solves Panel sizes follow your construction style.
- Everything inside rebuilds Shelves, doors, drawers, toekick, legs, handles.
- Machining re-derives Every hole worked out again on the new geometry.
No stale hole survives the change.
Grain and material
What you see is what gets made.
Grain is where a cabinet is won or lost.
Grain runs the right way
Automatic per panel. Override any one by angle — it survives every rebuild.
A material is a real sheet
Face, core, face. The two faces can be different products.
Grain match across fronts
One veneer across the whole cabinet. The pattern carries over the gaps.
One switch drives the viewport and the export.
From model to machine
Cut it today. No order system required.
Select cabinets, send to nesting, get machine files back.
- Runs on your own computer, across all its cores.
- Curved parts nest as their real shape.
- Grain respected. Matched fronts stay together.
- Oversize parts reported, never quietly dropped.
- Layouts checked for real overlaps before you cut.
- Panel saw? A sequenced cut map instead.

A closer look at the parts you'll use every day.
Draw anything
Panel Designer
Custom outlines with arcs and concave corners, grooves, pockets, cutouts, chamfers, mitres and LED channels. Everything you draw is parametric, so it survives every rebuild of the cabinet around it.
Joinery you can argue with
Move one hole, keep the automation
Nudge a hinge, delete a minifix, add one where you want it. The change sticks through every future resize — so you keep automatic joinery instead of abandoning it the first time it disagrees with you.
Cloud libraries
One library for the whole team
Cabinets, doors, drawers, panel designs, materials, connectors, labels and report sets — saved once and shared. Three tiers: what we ship, what your company standardises on, and your own.
No new CAD
Use the SketchUp you already know.
Other systems come with their own CAD. Learning it is the real price.
Nothing new to learn
A toolbar, not a second program.
Your models still open
Nothing to convert or migrate.
