SketchList 3D enables you to create designs for your custom cabinetry and woodworking business
If you need to compete for sales, save time in proposal and plan creation, generate cut lists, shop drawings or material layout diagrams – you need cabinet design software and SketchList 3D will help you. Lost sales, pressure to meet deadlines, and errors due to miscommunications can kill your profits if not eventually sink your business. You need to react.
The new age of furniture design
A few years ago a leading woodworking magazine wrote about using design software in the custom woodworking business. They said “High quality 3D images in well presented proposal format are mandatory for businesses to compete…” If that was true a few years ago imagine how important it is now.
More and more we are seeing people abandon the age old ways of pencil and paper for drawings. You can join them.
This is what one user wrote in to us.
“I am sorry it took me so long to purchase your software, but boy when I did, business boomed! I’ve been using your cabinet design software now quite extensively. I have designed and quoted on 4 jobs in the first month of receiving it and have successfully won 3 of those jobs. The fourth one was actually put on hold because of the customers situation!” – John, Lansing, MI

SketchList is unbelievable! I’ve use this cabinet design software package and it really pays off.
Just the optimization of the cuts for the 4×8 sheets of plywood was worth the price. Saving even a sheet now and then pays for the software. I give the local wood shop my cutting diagrams and have them do all of that for me. This was especially important as my small shop didn’t handle large 4×8 sheets easily. Feel free to use the photos I sent if you like as examples of what can be done with SketchList on a first try.

Our shop uses SketchList everyday, sometimes even directly with our customers standing over our shoulder.
Most of all we love the design features that are related just to woodworking and the photo backgrounds from clients are an amazing feature.
Furthermore we’re thinking of using the 3D PDF on a touch screen in our showroom.

I used your software for a wall unit for one of my clients. Up to now we’ve done everything with pen and paper. The 3D renderings absolutely blew them away.
In addition, your software guided me in a detailed technical discussion with the clients about their requirements.
Since that type of discussion sometimes uncovers requirements that affected the contract price — better to find out sooner than later.
