The modern alternative — now in preview

Your cabinet software
is costing you more than you think.

$15,000 a year. Windows-only. Single seat. Crashes on deadlines. No collaboration. No mobile. No cloud. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone — it's the reality for tens of thousands of cabinet shops running legacy software that hasn't changed since 2005.

CabiCAD replaces it. Cloud-native CAD/CAM for any wood product, any machine, any browser — at a fraction of the cost.

Cabinets

Every type. No per-module fees.

Doors & Frames

Full CNC machining. Not a separate license.

Wall Panels

Decorative to acoustic. One design engine.

Everything Else

Pergolas, furniture, crates — one platform.

Why shops are switching

You already know what's wrong
with your current software.

You live with it every day. The crashes. The locked-in formats. The $15,000 annual bill for software that makes you feel like it's 2005. You've adapted your entire workflow around its limitations. Here's what that's actually costing you.

01

You re-enter the same job four times a day.

Design software. Separate nesting tool. Excel quote. WhatsApp to the shop floor. Every handoff is manual. Every handoff is a chance to get it wrong. And when something changes, you update everything again.

02

Ten years of work, held hostage.

Proprietary file formats mean your entire design library only opens in one piece of software. They know it. That's the point. Switching costs aren't accidental — they're the business model.

03

Your post-processor “almost works.”

Support tickets sit open for weeks. The output for your second machine is wrong in ways that only show up at the saw. You've bodged it with macros, workarounds, and hope. And when the machine firmware updates — you start over.

04

$15,000–35,000 a year. For this.

Annual license. Annual maintenance. Modules you never use, bundled in because they can. The software looks like 2003, the invoice looks like 2025. And every year the renewal email arrives with a polite reminder of how stuck you are.

05

A client asks to see the design. You're not at your desk.

Single-seat, Windows-only. Your laptop, your desk, your office. A salesperson can't show the client anything on-site. A manager can't check a job from the shop floor. A second designer needs a second license — or a shared login and a prayer.

06

Files leave your screen and disappear.

Which parts are cut? Which broke? Is the job on track? You find out from the client, not your system — usually when it's too late to fix it. The shop floor runs on WhatsApp and memory.

How CabiCAD fixes it

Every problem above.
Solved in one platform.

Not a feature list. A direct replacement for every tool you're currently duct-taping together — design, CNC output, nesting, production tracking, quoting, and client collaboration. In any browser. On any machine. Without the $15,000 bill.

Design

Change one dimension. Everything updates.

In legacy software, resizing a cabinet means updating panels manually, rechecking joints, re-running the CNC program. In CabiCAD, change the width and every panel, hardware item, machining operation, and quote line updates instantly. Across the entire project. Any product type — cabinets, doors, panels, furniture, structures.

CNC

Your second machine works too.

Native output for Homag, Biesse, SCM, Felder, Holz-Her, and G-Code. Beam saws, P2P drills, edge banders, 5-axis centers, dedicated door machines — all from one project, one click. Post-processor SDK is fully open. Can't find your machine? Import the post-processor you're already using.

Optimize

Stop paying for wasted sheets.

True-shape nesting with grain matching reduces material waste across every job. Rectangular optimization for beam saws. 1D linear cutting for rails and stiles. Damaged a part at 4pm? End-of-day reproduction nesting batches all replacements and cuts them in one run — no rescheduling, no wasted half-sheets.

Production

Know exactly where every part is.

Files don't disappear when they leave your screen. CabiCAD splits output automatically to each machine station — beam saw gets diagrams, CNC gets programs, edge bander gets its schedule. Every part carries a barcode. Scan it at each station. Know in real time what's cut, what's pending, what's stuck — before the client calls to ask.

Collaborate

Show the client the design. From anywhere.

No more “I'll send you a PDF.” Clients open a link, rotate the 3D model in their browser, and approve from their phone. Multiple designers work the same project simultaneously. Every change is versioned. CabiCloud delivers CNC files to machine stations wirelessly — no USB sticks, no version confusion, no “which file is this?”

Business

Stop quoting from memory.

Every design generates a quote automatically — material costs, hardware, labor rates, margin. When the design changes, the quote changes. No more finding out the job lost money after it shipped. Track actual costs against estimates. Manage every project from first enquiry to final installation in one place.

Machine compatibility

Already have machines?
We already speak their language.

Every major machine brand supported out of the box. Switching to CabiCAD doesn't mean reconfiguring your shop floor — it means your existing Homag, Biesse, SCM, or Felder gets better software driving it. Already have a post-processor from your current setup? Import it directly.

FAQ

Things people ask before they switch.

What products can I design?

Any wood product. Cabinets of any configuration — kitchen, closet, commercial, office. Interior doors: flush, stile-and-rail, CNC-carved, louvered. Decorative and acoustic wall panels. Furniture frames. Outdoor structures — pergolas, fences. Custom crates and millwork. The design engine is fully parametric. If legacy software handles it, CabiCAD handles it — usually better.

What machines and formats?

Homag, Biesse, SCM, Felder, Holz-Her, Anderson, G-Code natively — plus beam saws, cross-cutters, P2P drills, edge banders, door machines, and 5-axis centers. The post-processor SDK is fully open. If your machine reads a file, CabiCAD can write it. Already have a post-processor built for VCarve, AlphaCAM, or Cabinet Vision? Import it directly — no rebuild needed.

What happens if the internet goes down mid-production?

Production doesn't stop. CabiCloud syncs CNC files to your machine stations locally — so even if internet drops, the saw keeps cutting, labels keep printing, and CNC programs keep loading. Everything syncs automatically when you're back online. Cloud-first means you get collaboration, version control, and remote access when you have connectivity. It doesn't mean you're hostage to it.

How much will it cost?

Significantly less than what you're paying now. Free tier for designers and homeowners. Manufacturing tiers priced to be a fraction of what legacy software charges — without the forced bundles. You pick the modules you actually need. Exact pricing confirmed at launch. Join the waitlist to lock in early access pricing.

We've used the same software for 10 years. Is switching realistic?

That's the most common concern — and the most common regret after switching is not doing it sooner. CabiCAD imports existing post-processors from the tools you're already using, so your machine setup migrates without a rebuild. Your designs don't need to — CabiCAD is parametric, so rebuilding cabinet configurations takes hours, not months. Dedicated onboarding support is included with Professional and Enterprise tiers. And because it's cloud-native, your whole team is on the same version from day one.

I don't manufacture. Can I use it?

Yes. Design your project for free, then send it to manufacturers for competitive quotes. Interior designers get a tier with photorealistic 3D, appliance catalogs, and branded presentations — no CNC needed.
