01

Close the gap between drawing a cabinet and building it.

Cabinet design is only useful when every visual decision becomes accurate dimensions, material quantities and clear instructions for the workshop.

Cabinet Planner keeps that workflow in one browser app. A project can move from an elevation layout to an interactive Three.js scene, then into calculated parts, material totals, edge-banding requirements, costing and exportable production documents.

Plan

Work precisely in 2D

Lay out cabinets in a clean elevation view with dimensions, measuring tools and running measurements.

Inspect

Understand the build in 3D

Rotate, pan, zoom and snap to standard views while checking realistic proportions and materials.

Configure

Define construction details

Control dimensions, fronts, drawers, construction types, materials, tolerances and edge banding per cabinet.

Produce

Export workshop data

Generate grouped BOMs, assembly lists and full PDF manufacturing reports from the same project model.

02

One model, two ways to understand it.

The editor separates dimension-focused layout from spatial inspection without making the user rebuild the project for each view.

The 2D workspace is optimized for placement and measurement. The 3D canvas uses the same cabinet definitions to render materials and proportions, with a view cube, multi-selection, cabinet visibility controls and standard camera orientations.

Continuity

Fifty-state history

Undo and redo support makes repeated dimensional and configuration work safer to explore.

Reliability

Conflict detection

Automatic overlap checks flag cabinets occupying the same 3D space and clear when the geometry is corrected.

Flexibility

Cabinets, spacers and sheets

Standard units sit alongside zero-thickness spacers and free-standing sheets for countertops, fillers and side panels.

Workflow

Cloud save and sharing

Projects auto-save online and can be shared as independent copies for another user to continue editing.

03

Geometry becomes production data automatically.

The project summary turns a visual layout into the quantities a cabinet maker needs: parts, sheet area, edge banding, back panels, hardware and overall dimensions.

04

Automation supports judgment instead of replacing it.

The smart tools accelerate repetitive setup and calculation, while every generated cabinet remains editable and every dimension can be verified before production.

AI layout

Start from words or a sketch

The assistant can interpret a description, floor plan, photo or hand-drawn sketch and propose a complete editable cabinet layout.

Costing

See the project total evolve

Live estimates combine material sheet prices with configurable cutting and edge-banding rates.

Routing

Calculate gola profiles

Horizontal and vertical routing guides use configurable L- and C-profile dimensions for handleless cabinetry.

Result

A complete browser workflow

The live product brings design, checking, costing and workshop documentation into a single focused tool.
