Cabsmith is a cabinet cut list generator and cut list calculator in one. Size a cabinet from a template, get every part, and nest them onto the fewest plywood or MDF sheets as a cutting plan you can take to the saw.
Works in millimetres or in inches with fractions (1/16", 1/32") — you pick per project, and every number, diagram and PDF follows it.
"I NEED A CABINET CUT LIST" (Pro)
• Cabinet templates: base, wall, tall, vanity, drawer, corner, sink and cupboard units.
• A cabinet calculator for the carcass: set width, height, depth, shelves and drawers, and every part is worked out — sides, bottom, back, shelves, rails, doors and drawer fronts.
• Frameless 32 mm system construction, with Blum-standard drawer box sizing.
• Live 3D preview built from the real cut parts — the same geometry you will cut.
• Many cabinets in one project, nested across every sheet at once.
• Save your own cabinet as a template and reuse it on the next kitchen.
• Rooms: split a job into kitchen, utility and wardrobe, each with its own cut list.
"HOW MANY SHEETS DO I ACTUALLY NEED?"
• Sheet cutting optimizer: panel cutting layouts with the cut order numbered for you.
• Sheet yield and waste reported honestly — surplus, offcuts, kerf and trim.
• Mixed sheet sizes and materials in one job, never cross-nested by thickness.
• Unlimited stock, or a fixed number of boards if that is all the lumber yard has.
• Offcut tracking — save the usable drops and pull them into the next job.
• Hardware list — hinges, slides, handles, legs — kept alongside the cut list.
"GIVE ME A CUTTING DIAGRAM I CAN TAKE TO THE SAW"
• A cutting diagram with dimensions on every part, not a wall of numbers.
• Tap any part to highlight it on the diagram and in the list.
• Kerf, or blade width, carved out so adjacent parts share one saw pass.
• Max cut length, so every cut fits your panel saw or track saw.
• Voice entry — say a measurement out loud instead of typing with gloves on.
• Free PDF cutting plan to print or send. Not a teaser, the real thing.
• Pro: grain direction matched, never silently rotated.
• Pro: edge banding deducted from part sizes, so the finished piece is the size you wanted.
• Pro: guided cutting (Workshop mode) — step through the cuts hands-free with the volume keys.
"CAN I SEND THIS TO MY CNC, OR TO A CLIENT?" (Pro)
• DXF export for CNC nesting — Fusion, VCarve and your router.
• Printable part labels with QR codes.
• Job costing and quotation for cabinet makers: materials, edging, cutting, hardware and labour.
• Branded quotes: your shop profile, logo, tax details and payment terms on the PDF.
• A material library of your own sheet sizes and rates, plus CSV import and export.
WHY WOODWORKERS SWITCH
• Works fully offline. No account, no sign-up, projects stay on your device.
• No daily calculation limits and no ads. Optimize as many times as you like.
• Less waste per sheet, so you buy fewer boards on every job.

Cabinet makers, cupboard and wardrobe builders, carpenters, joiners, kitchen cabinet fitters, furniture makers, contractors and DIY woodworking. If you cut sheet goods — plywood, MDF, melamine, particle board or chipboard — Cabsmith turns a cutting list into a cutting plan in minutes.
