The part nobody quotes for

It isn't the building that eats the week.

You can build the kitchen. What costs you is everything on either side of it — and the software that's meant to help is usually the clunkiest, most frustrating hour of the day.

Menus you relearn every time. A setting buried three dialogs deep. A layout that only ever made sense to whoever wrote it.

The week

Drawn once, keyed in three more times.

Room in one program. Cut list retyped in another. Parts redrawn for the machine in a third.

Every re-key · another chance to put a 3/4 where a 1/2 belongs

The bill

Paying more than it gives back.

Per seat, per month, and a number that can move at renewal. Once you're doing that math, the tool has stopped earning its keep.

The files

Drawings you only rent.

Stop paying and last year's kitchens stop opening. Your own drawings, of your own jobs, held against the next invoice.

None of that ever shows up as a line on an invoice. It shows up as a shop running slower than it should, and as the jobs you never got around to quoting because you were still bogged down in the design.

01 · Design

Design it exactly the way you build it.

Draw the room, drop the boxes in, then open any one and build its face the way your shop actually makes it — rails, stiles, drawers, doors.

The face frame is parametric down to 1/32″, and the 200+ construction parameters behind it are the calls your shop settled on years ago. Set them once; every cabinet after that comes out yours.

Plan, elevation & 3D — one model, three views, always in sync.
Face frame editor — rails and stiles dragged to exact sizes, not picked off a template.
Parameters, live — change a setting, the parts redraw in front of you.
Corners, islands, custom door styles — built in, fully parametric.

The WoodWright cabinet editor with a base cabinet open in 3D and its face-frame panel alongside: top, bottom, left and right frame widths, rail and stile defaults, and every member listed one by one — face frame editor — every member, to 1/32″

02 · Build

Cut list, nested sheets and DXF — off the same model.

Every part the design implies gets generated, nested onto sheets, and printed as a labeled cut list — with part files your CAM can open. Nothing gets re-drawn, and no dimension gets typed a second time, which is where the wrong ones come from.

Auto part generation — sides, backs, stretchers, dados, bores.
Sheet nesting — true-shape, grain-locked, remnant-aware: 7 sheets, not 8 on the sample kitchen against rectangular nesting.
Labeled cut lists — QR part labels, grouped by material, checkable on the floor.
CNC-ready — layered DXF part export to your CAM today; direct posts for SCM Xilog, ShopBot, Biesse, Homag and Mach/GRBL/LinuxCNC/Masso, every program simulated and read back — none has cut on a machine yet, so the app asks you to run the first one on scrap. What each file contains →

The WoodWright sheet optimizer: parts nested onto 4 by 8 sheets, each labeled with its name and cut size, beside a what-runs-today filter, stock and spacing settings, drop tracking and a .xxl CNC export — sheet optimizer — nested, labeled, .xxl out

03 · Present

Close the job before you cut a board.

Walk the client through the real design in 3D — the exact geometry you priced, not a stock photo off someone else's kitchen. Print the titled drawing set for sign-off, then build it.

Live 3D room — real cabinets, real finishes, drag to look around.
Drawing sets — titled plan, elevation, and 3D sheets, print-ready.
AI render — geometry-locked, so the picture is what you'll build.

Why it's different

Three promises we can actually keep.

Nobody locks you out of your own jobs

WoodWright saves to its own open, documented format and writes layered DXF, stored on your machine. Cancel anything, keep everything.

.ww on your disk · DXF in and out — all local, all yours

DXF out, no reseller in between

Layered DXF part export drops straight into your CAM today. Direct machine posts for eight controllers are in the app — every program simulated and read back, none cut on a machine yet, and the app asks for a scrap cut before the first real one.

Free viewer on the shop floor

A read-only Viewer Mode opens the whole job — 3D, plans, and the cut list — on any shop machine. Look, don't touch. Tablet app on the roadmap.

⛬

Hardware libraries

Hinges and undermount slides with the real boring positions wired in.

▤

Drawer boxes

Baltic-birch boxes sized to the slide, notched and prepped.

◱

Who's behind it

Built in a shop that has to live with it.

This wasn't written by a software company that surveyed some cabinet shops. It was written in one, on jobs with a customer waiting and the sheet goods already bought.

So we know what the bad week looks like: the layout that won't take the dimension you actually measured, the cut list you check twice because you typed it twice, the renewal email that arrives the same month as the insurance. Every feature in here had to survive a real job before it shipped, and the ones that didn't got cut.

That's also why this page tells you what hasn't been proven yet. The machine posts have been generated, simulated and read back clean — but no WoodWright program has been cut on a real machine, and the app will ask you to run your first one on scrap.

You should hear that from us, not find it out at the spindle.

How to check it

Don't take our word for it. Take a job you already priced.

Nothing above is hard to disprove, and it costs you an evening to try. There's no card, no trial clock and nothing to cancel afterwards.

Open the sample kitchen
It ships inside the app — seven cabinets, four walls, already drawn. Ten minutes tells you whether the thing makes sense to you before a real job touches it.
Rebuild one you already quoted
You know what that kitchen cost you and how many sheets it took. Draw it here and check our numbers against the ones you already have on paper.
Nest it, label it, send the DXF
Cut list on the saw, labels on the parts, layered DXF into your CAM. If it holds up on a job you already know, it'll hold up on the next one.

Measuring the room first? The field measure form runs in the phone in your pocket — no install, no account — and the app reads the file it makes.

Draw it the way you build it. Key the numbers once.
