SketchList 3D: Empowering Woodworkers
With Intuitive 3D Woodworking Design Software
You are a passionate woodworker, perhaps running a business and always striving to create high-quality custom furniture or cabinetry. You manage time, minimize waste, and deliver exceptional results. But many times, it gets out of control. You know it can be better. It’s too much and frustrates you. It may even affect your income.
Many woodworkers’ problems stem from difficulty completing their designs on time.
Using CAD for woodworking design often gets in the way. Many woodworkers find that most CAD software is too complex and rigid, lacking the flexibility of a true woodworking design tool.
One woodworker said of his business:
“I can make anything out of wood, but my real problem is getting my ideas out of my head and into the shop.”
Ever feel that way?
Sadly, many of us think we are responsible for the difficulty producing designs.
That’s not true. The real problem is that we are trying to use CAD software developed decades ago to cut metal rather than design furniture.
We understand your frustrations because we’ve been there. That’s why we’re here—to free your creative process with intuitive 3D woodworking software, so you can focus on what you do best: woodworking.
“I got new orders thanks to my craftsmanship and SketchList 3D!
The clients told me they couldn’t believe how fast I produced their new kitchen concept drawings.

Imagine the time when you take your laptop to a prospect’s home. You open SketchList and pull up the design for her entertainment center. You created that design in 30 minutes by modifying an existing project. The prospect makes some suggestions — TV here, bar there, and so on, and you make the adjustments in minutes. Someone said that once a prospect points to the screen and makes suggestions, and gets involved with him in the design, he knows he has a sale.
