Cabinet CAD Software

by Blaire Chandler-Wilcox

Cabinet CAD software is becoming as vital a tool as a high speed drill for both professional woodworkers and weekend warriors. Also referred to as computer assisted design software, CAD software programs effectively save time and money. Cabinet CAD software essentially eliminates trial and error by providing clear design images, accurate cost estimates, and complete, perfectly accurate cutlists.

Cabinet CAD software allows users to "build" the cabinet first on the computer. Feeding into the system the exact measurements and specifications, the program shows the user, or the client, in three dimensions on screen, what the final product would look like. This allows for multiple design changes without wasteful use of labor or materials.

Benefits of Cabinet CAD Software for Professionals and Do-It-Yourselfers

For professionals, being able to do multiple design changes prior to execution saves considerable time and labor. Changes, particularly to elaborate designs with lots of detail, could take hours if done by hand. With cabinet design software they take minutes, at most.

Cabinet CAD software gives the do-it-yourselfer the tools needed to do a job otherwise best left to professionals. These computer programs clearly demonstrate each step of the cabinet making process. Cabinet CAD software even generates complete cutlists, based on the user's final design, which eliminate the guess work of designing and building your own cabinets.
