Design it. Cut it. Build it.

There isn't one. You get every feature with unlimited projects and cabinets. There are no ads, no account, no telemetry and no trial period. Donations are optional and unlock nothing.

Yes. Each project can use inches with fractions down to 1/32" or millimetres. You can type values like 34-1/2, 34.5, 2' 3" or 876mm, and every list, drawing and cut sheet follows the project's units.

Both. Face frames can be attached with pocket screws, a groove and tongue, biscuits, or glue and nails, or you can build frameless (European). Cases can be assembled with dados and grooves, butt joints with screws or pocket screws, or confirmat screws for flat-pack. Doors can be overlay or inset, shaker or slab, and drawer fronts can match the doors or be plain slabs. Toe kicks can be integrated or a separate base, or you can add baseboard molding instead.

For every material and thickness it runs several guillotine (table-saw) and free-form (CNC) packing strategies and keeps the layout with the fewest sheets and least waste. It respects saw kerf, edge trim and grain direction, and you can change the sheet size. Solid lumber gets its own board-by-board cut list.

Yes. Use the full web version on this page, or the web edition .zip. The Windows exe is a convenience wrapper that keeps everything on a USB stick and cleans up after itself; the design engine is the same.

With the exe, projects are saved as files in the CabinetMaker Data folder next to it, and you can also save copies anywhere you like. In the browser, projects are kept in that browser's local storage, so use Export or Backup all to keep files of your own.

No. The web version and the download both work fully without one. In a browser, your projects are kept in that browser, and you can export them to files whenever you like. If you sign in with your free brandonmysliwiec.com account, projects, My Items and your saved defaults are also kept in your account, so they follow you to any computer. The desktop exe always saves to its own CabinetMaker Data folder.

Yes, in three ways. Change any part of a template under Customize parts. Convert a template into a fully custom item and edit every board. Or choose My Items → Start from scratch to enter your own plans piece by piece, with size, material, position, angle and copies.

3D DXF, STL and OBJ models exported from SketchUp, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, Cabinet Vision or other CAD programs are rebuilt as a full 3D assembly. Every separate solid becomes a board at its real position and angle, with its size on the cut list. 2D DXF drawings, including Cabinet Vision / S2M part files and CNC drawings, turn each closed outline into a part; holes become cut-outs, and labels or layer names supply names and thickness. DWG files must be saved as DXF first. PDF, Excel and CSV files are not imported.

Yes. On the Cut Sheets tab, Export DXF (CNC) writes every nested sheet as a cutting layout. On the Parts List tab, it writes one closed outline per part for nesting in your own CAM software. Files are DXF R12 in your project's units, with a layer for each material and thickness and part numbers on their own layer. They work with VCarve, Aspire, Fusion 360, Cabinet Vision, SheetCam, Carbide Create and most other CAM programs.

Export any item as a .cmitem.json file, or a whole project as a project file. Anyone can import it into the app or the web version. Projects also download as a complete PDF (drawings with dimensions, cut list, materials and cut sheets), parts lists export to CSV, and drawings to SVG.
