Design preparation is often tedious, frustrating, and prone to costly mistakes. But it doesn’t have to be. With the right woodworking design software, you can streamline the process, eliminate guesswork, and take control—forever.
We’ve successfully guided nearly 6,500 individuals to make that change. Let us guide you too.
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 profits.
Many woodworkers’ problems begin with 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. Because of that, it is difficult to learn, clumsy to use, and lacks reports needed to sell and produce products in your shop.
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? I have.
Sadly, many of us think we are responsible for the difficulty of 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.

Remember, delaying leads to missed opportunities and regrets.
Putting change off means you will:
But you can avoid those types of issues. By taking action now, you’re setting yourself up for success and the positive changes you want.
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.
SketchList 3D makes pen and paper design and rendering a thing of the past. Create sketches, copy designs from project to project, work with virtual 3D boards, and design custom contours, joinery, and boards with a few mouse clicks—all with instant visual feedback guides to direct you from the design stage to cutting your wood.
Gain inspiration from our vast library of materials, objects, and projects. You can also custom build your own hardware, materials, boards, and more to save you precious project time.
Reports are automatically generated and modified as you develop your project. They provide complete parts and cut lists for CNC machines, shop drawings, and material layout diagrams. Customize and standardize information that you want to display in each report to keep all of your project work highly-accurate.
Avoid pesky project mistakes by visualizing your design, making edits, and producing accurate cut lists before cutting anything. SketchList 3D gives you control over every board, cut, angle, and hole in your design with just a click of a button and allows you to produce accurate one-off designs effortlessly. Don’t be afraid to try a new design out—SketchList will help you envision it before investing resources.
With templates, reports, spreadsheets, and productivity tools, every tweak you make to your wood design is instantly reflected throughout the whole project. Be prepared to boost revenue and minimize waste with the optimized cutting layout. Our 3D wood design software will streamline your whole production, enabling you to produce more, quicker.
With SketchList 3D, you can quickly create and share a variety of materials to sell your services to potential customers, including stunning before and after images, multiple design model options, spreadsheets, custom reports, and more. Use these to land clients and to share your work with your social networks or on your website.
