Woodworking software built for the real shop.
No fabricated case studies and no invented savings—just the estimating workflow now available to cabinetmakers, furniture builders, and CNC shops.
Quote the whole cabinet job
For Cabinetmakers
The old way
Pricing sheet goods, hardware, finishing, installation, waste, and labor across disconnected spreadsheet tabs.
With PlankCAD
Build one visible cost basis, add shop overhead and margin, then send a clear customer total without rebuilding the math.
- Separate materials, hardware, other costs, and labor
- Waste and overhead applied consistently
- Customer-ready PDF quote with terms
- Parts nested onto real sheets with kerf, grain and edge banding
- Offcuts racked and searched before the next material order
Know whether the custom piece pays
For Furniture Designers
The old way
Choosing a price from instinct, then discovering late revisions, finishing time, and premium material waste erased the profit.
With PlankCAD
Model the actual labor and material risk, set a true target margin, and revise the quote while the scope is still negotiable.
- Multiple labor phases at different shop rates
- True gross-margin calculation
- Saved drafts for customer revisions
- Parts nested onto sheets before the timber is ordered
- Offcuts kept on a searchable rack between commissions
- Estimated vs actual, so the next custom piece is priced from evidence
Price setup time and material risk
For CNC Shops
The old way
Quoting only machine time while setup, tooling, spoilage risk, consumables, and operator labor disappear into overhead.
With PlankCAD
Expose every production cost, apply the shop overhead rule once, and show whether the quoted total reaches the intended margin.
- Setup, programming, machining, and finishing labor lines
- Material waste modeled before pricing
- Sheet nesting with your kerf, plus cutting diagrams for the floor
- One purchase list across several jobs, netted against stock
Why you can trust the number.
PlankCAD is new, so there are no customer logos here yet — only things you can check for yourself.
The same inputs always give the same price
No model, no estimate range, no hidden rounding. A quote you can reproduce is a quote you can defend when a customer asks how you got there.
Every layer of the price stays visible
Materials, labour, waste, overhead, margin and tax are each shown on their own — never rolled into one number you cannot explain.
Your rates stay yours
Estimates are scoped to your account and readable only by you. Your shop rate and margin are commercially sensitive and are never shown to anyone else.
Nothing to pay to find out
Three saved estimates free, forever, with no card. If it does not fit how your shop prices work, you have lost nothing but the time.
Questions from working shops.
A spreadsheet works until a row gets inserted, a formula silently breaks, or last month's version becomes the template for this month. PlankCAD applies waste, overhead and margin the same way on every job, and the quote comes out of the same inputs that produced the price.
One pass: enter your cost lines and labour hours, set waste, overhead and a margin target, and the customer total is there. Save it and the PDF quote is one click.
Yes — those go in as their own cost or labour lines with your own rates, so they are visible in the quote instead of being absorbed into a single number.
Change the rate and every total recomputes immediately. Nothing is locked once a draft exists, so re-pricing an old job is editing it, not rebuilding it.
No. Estimates are scoped to your account and readable only by you. Your rates and margins are commercially sensitive and are never shown to other users.

No credit card required. Price the job, save the draft, and export the customer quote.
