Cabinet software
11/15/22
I am looking for cabinet design software. I have a very small shop and primarily build for myself and a few other jobs. I have some experience with chief architect, so something that operates similar would be a plus not not end all. Maybe I'm asking for too much. I would love a reasonably priced design software with great clean crisp rendering that can provide a cut list. Having an upgrade for cnc not a main requirement. Please provide all feedback. References of tutorials or demo videos would be great . Thanks much!!

I am from a small shop as well. All my research has led me to Mozaik, I just have to pull the trigger. Its an affordable subscription base so there is no huge upfront expense.

Nothing that gives you a high level of flexibility is going to be cheap. If you possibly run Sketchup Pro Cabinetsense is a good option with a monthly subscription that believe you can enable/disable as needed so you dont have to pay every month if your not in the software for a while. I run it for all kinds of stuff beyond just cabinets.

Thanks for comments. Looking briefly into some of these programs,I'm most likely never going to be using a cnc. So back to basics, I would prefer to purchase outright or as one comment suggested perhaps ability to turn on or off. So a program that i can generate accurate drawings with high quality 3d rendering , and cut list . I have some experience with chief architect ., so something using similar platform maybe a benefit. Is there anything out there that can do what I'm asking for $600-$1000. Thanks much for any recommendations !l

Any more recommendations anyone?
$700 or less
detailed design capable
high quality 3d rendering
2-3 choices of construction ( one being pocket hole)
Ill take as may suggestions i can get so i can review them. I would rather pay a little more for high quality rendering etc. than to have to upgrade. I have a little experience with chief architect but am open to exploring others.
Thanks everyone!

There really isnt anything less than $700. Monthly rental options (Mozaik, KCD, Etc), sketchup, eCabinets, and CabinetPlanner.

There will be a learning curve for any of the software. I started with eCabinets, very good for rendering and its free. If you are not using a CNC yet it will do all you want. I use Mozaik now so I can send a file to the CNC which is not Thermwood. Jr

I dont think you have any options that are not a rental, or substantially more money (thousands)
