Rooms, cupboards, benchtops, quotes, cut lists, sheet optimising and CNC files – one program, set up the way cabinet shops actually build.
Four steps, one program. No exporting between apps, no re-typing sizes, no surprises on the saw.
Walls, windows, doors and appliances – then drag cupboards straight on.
Doors, drawers, panels, kicks and tops sized for you – change anything.
Every board with edging and grain, labels ready for the workshop.
Parts nested to save board, then a CNC program for every sheet.
Set it up once like your shop builds, and every job comes out right.
A full library comes with the program – ready to drag into the room the day you install it. Add your own as you go, and it keeps growing.
One stop for the whole job – design, hardware, quote and cut list without leaving the program.
L and U shaped tops worked out for you – then shape them exactly how the stone mason will cut them.
The same room drawn four ways at the click of a button – and every one of them can be changed to suit how you work and what your clients like to see.
Put the plan, elevations, 3D view, benchtops, cupboard list and your notes together on one page – each in its own box, at its own scale.
Everything in the job is counted and priced for you, item by item – then make it yours. Change any quantity or price, set a markup on any line, tick GST on or off, add your own lines.
Build the parts a cupboard library can't: curved and shaped pieces, one-off brackets and panels, signs and lettering, carved door centres and 3D shapes. Draw it or bring it in, choose the cutters, watch it cut on screen and send it to the machine. No second program to buy or learn.
The heart of it: draw any part to size – curved ends, arched panels, scalloped valances, brackets, shelves, templates and jigs. Snap to points and grids, type exact sizes, round or chamfer corners, weld shapes together or cut one out of another. Bring in a DXF, SVG or PDF from a client or drafter and cut it straight away.
Any font on your computer, on a straight line or bent round a curve. Lettering is cut crisp and deep with sharp inside corners; engrave and quick-engrave run fine lines, borders and decoration. Pockets clear recesses and inlays, and profiles cut it free with holding tabs.
Turn a flat outline into a real shape – a domed door centre, a raised panel, a curved corbel or moulding – or bring in a 3D model (STL, OBJ, GLB, 3MF) and set its size and depth. Turn a photo or sketch into a raised picture, shape it by hand – raise, lower, smooth – and join pieces into one part. A flat cutter roughs it out, a ball nose finishes it.
Every toolpath previewed as it cuts, in 3D, on the real board – with the time it will take. Your own cutters, feeds and machine set-up are used, so what you see is what comes off the machine.
This 700 × 400 sign was drawn in minutes: the lettering and stars cut crisp and deep, a quick-engraved border and rule, then cut out with an outside profile and holding tabs. The machine time is worked out before you start.
A 270 mm rosette set 14 mm into the board: a 12 mm cutter clears the bulk, then a 3 mm ball nose follows the surface for the fine detail. Use it for door centres, corbels, mouldings and signs.
Combine a carving with lettering, pockets and a profile cut on the same board – one drawing, one set of programs.
No modules to unlock. And it keeps growing – new options are added every month.
Show clients the kitchen with lighting, colours, stone and timber floors.
Dimensioned drawings for the client, the installer and council – print or PDF.
Edging, grain, part labels and hinge-press lists for the workshop floor.
Your tools and your machine – grooves, pockets, rebates and drilling sorted.
Signs, decorative panels and 3D carving, built right in.
Save cupboards and whole runs, and reuse them on the next job.
No CNC? Cutting patterns for your panel saw – every cut numbered in order with its fence setting, printed cut sheets and labels.
Itemised, editable, your markups and GST – printed or PDF, with deposit and balance due.
Hardware, boards and stone ordered straight from the job.
One button packs up the job so we can see exactly what you see.
Australian boards and hardware, GST – and support in your time zone.
Face-frame cupboards, more US sheet sizes and hardware, and more machine formats – coming shortly, as free updates.
Not a cabinet shop? You get the same program: design it, see it in 3D, get an exact cut list and – if you have a hobby CNC – cut it yourself. One affordable program instead of a drawing app, a cut-list app and a CAM program.
From an empty room to a photo render for the client, then sheets ready for the machine – real jobs, no fuss.
Short, step-by-step videos for every part of the program – filmed on real kitchens, free with every copy. Watch one, then do it on your own job.
Built alongside working shops – what you ask for goes in. A few of the latest:
CabCarveCNC comes from Snowy Cabinets in Berridale, in the Snowy Mountains of NSW – a working kitchen and joinery shop with a CNC on the floor and jobs going out the door every week.
We built it because we were sick of it. Sick of paying every month for software that never quite did what a real shop needs. Sick of being told the custom work – a carved panel, a sign, a curved or one-off piece – needs another expensive add-on or a whole second program on top. Sick of being told "that's how it works" by people who have never hung a door or scribed a filler to a crooked wall.
So our cabinet makers sat down with our own software team and built the program we wanted to use: kitchens, cut lists and CNC files, plus a full CAD and carving side for custom work – custom shaped parts, signs and engraving, 3D carving and a cutting preview – all in the one program, with no add-ons to buy. Set up the way Australian shops actually build. Every feature is tried on our own jobs and cut on our own machine before it goes out.
And because we know what it's like to run a small business, you buy it once and it's yours. No subscription, no lock-in – just a program that keeps getting better, with new options added all the time from what shops like yours ask for.
Most shop software has gone to monthly subscriptions: you rent it, the price keeps going up, and the day you stop paying it stops working. We think that's backwards. CabCarveCNC goes the other way – a complete program you buy once and own, that keeps getting better at no extra cost.
The cabinet makers who've seen it running so far have been really positive – and what they ask for goes straight into the next update. That's the deal: you tell us what your shop needs, and the program grows with you.
No subscription, no monthly fees, no lock-in. Pay once and the program is yours to keep – it never stops working. Try it free for 15 days first on your own jobs; printing, exporting and CNC files unlock the moment you buy.
Prices in AUD, including GST. Shop licences are for businesses (ABN at checkout); Home licences are for personal, non-commercial use. See the Licence Agreement.
We're taking on a handful of cabinet shops and home workshops to use CabCarveCNC on real jobs and help shape what comes next. Leave your details and we'll be in touch.
It runs on Windows 10 and 11. Many shops run it on a Mac with Windows installed alongside.
Yes. Design, quotes, drawings, cut lists and hardware lists all work without one, and the panel saw optimiser gives you numbered cutting patterns for a beam or sliding table saw.
Frameless cabinets are in now. Face-frame cupboards are coming shortly, along with more US sheet sizes and hardware – as free updates.
Very likely. It writes G-code with your own tools, and has ready-made set-ups for the common controllers: Syntec, Mach3 / Mach4, GRBL (most hobby routers), LinuxCNC, UCCNC, MASSO, Centroid, Weihong NcStudio, handheld DSP controllers and Fanuc-style ATC routers – with or without a tool changer, and drilling heads. Need something a little different? Copy a set-up and change it yourself, with a live test program to check it and an air-cut copy to run first.
Running a nesting machine that uses its own program format rather than G-code? Tell us your machine when you sign up – we're adding those formats.
Yes – board thicknesses, kicks, bulkheads, reveals, hardware, joins and machining are all settings, from the whole shop down to one cupboard.
No. You buy it once and own it – no monthly fees, and updates are free. New options are added all the time from what shops ask for.
No. It runs on your computer and your jobs stay on your computer.
