Cabinet Design Software
 Many small to medium sized cabinet shops or individual cabinet makers are feeling the pinch of the economic slowdown. Competition is heating up and smart business practices and better sales methods are needed. Expanding use of cmputers figures heavily in making your business more competitive without giving up on qualtiy of product or levels of service.
Computer design of cabinets, built-ins, offices and entertainment units greatly increase your productivity, helps reduce material costs, and provides you with renderings to show your prospects before you begin in the shop. Unfortunately the much of the software for cabinet shops is costly and hard to learn. It can take several weeks to master the software and usually costs several thousands of dollars. It's hard to make a business case for using this type of software.
SkecthList 3D is easy to learn and use. One cabinet maker emailed that...
"The software is so easy to use and the tutorials are so well done I have already designed 2 projects and I am working on a third. The first project was a 2 drawer storage unit with 2 shelves in it. The second was a large (7' x 7'11 x 1') bookshelf. The third is a horseshoe shaped desk."
 SkecthList 3D knows about woodworking. Face fames (rails ans tiles) are automatic. Doors and drawer construction is integrated. Edging treatments are applied with one click of the mouse. Joinry is available for any board - again with one click of the mouse. Once you build a cabinet you can clone that cabinet into any project. In fact yo can create a whole series of modules you can then clone into any project or job. It's a breeze to create and equally space any number of shelves, doors or drawers accross a span with SketchList 3D's clone function.
And SketchList 3D gives you what you need to design a project, get customer approval, and get to the shop to build it. The faster you get through the process the sooner you deliver and get paid.
The outputs form SketchList 3D include:
2D and 3D renderingins of the project..
Dimension diagrams.
Parts and material lists.
Optimized sheet and board layout diagrams.
Purchase lists.
And maybe best of all you can afford to buy the software. If by using SketchList 3D to optimize you cutting diagrams you save one sheet of material and count the time saved -- you can pay for the software.
