CAD Software & PRO Tools — Professional Fabrication Software Suite by CNC Cut to Size

About CAD Software & PRO Tools

CAD Software & PRO Tools is a professional suite of four integrated tools designed exclusively for CNC fabrication shops, cabinet makers, woodworkers, and millwork production facilities. The suite includes: Cut List Optimizer for material nesting and waste reduction, Project Estimation Suite for instant project estimates, Task Scheduler for Kanban-style project management, and Time Tracker for GPS-verified employee time and labor cost tracking.

Cut List Optimizer — Sheet Material Nesting Software

The Cut List Optimizer is a professional-grade panel nesting and cut list optimization tool that uses an advanced nesting algorithm to arrange rectangular parts optimally on stock sheets of MDF, plywood, melamine, particle board, acrylic, aluminum composite panels (ACM), and other sheet materials.

Key capabilities include: smart nesting algorithm for minimal material waste, support for box and drawer panel generation, edge banding integration with accurate costing, visual cut plan diagrams for shop floor printing, waste percentage reporting per optimization run, multi-sheet size optimization for cost-effective combinations, grain direction support for veneered materials, configurable blade kerf width settings, and the ability to save and reuse cut list drafts for recurring production jobs. Reduces material waste by up to 30%.

Project Estimation Suite — Instant CNC Fabrication Estimates

The Project Estimation Suite enables CNC fabrication professionals to create accurate project estimates in under 5 minutes. It supports multiple build types including kitchen cabinets, closet systems, bathroom vanities, shelving units, and custom furniture — each with tailored question flows.

Features include: rule-based pricing with admin-configurable material costs, labor rates, and markup percentages; sub-client management for contractors and resellers; dynamic build configurations with guided question flows; margin visibility with built-in operating cost deductions; professional quote output with line-item breakdowns; and e-transfer payment integration.

Task Scheduler — Project Management for CNC Shops

The Task Scheduler provides Kanban board views for visual project tracking, deadline and priority management, real-time status updates, and both list and board view options. Designed for fabrication teams who need to coordinate cutting, assembly, finishing, and delivery across multiple concurrent projects.

Time Tracker — Employee Hours & Labor Cost Tracking

The Time Tracker enables field and shop employees to clock in and out with GPS location stamps, set hourly rates per employee (standard, overtime, holiday), review and approve timesheets, and see automatic labor cost calculations. Perfect for CNC shops managing remote job sites and multi-location teams.

Subscription Plans and Pricing

CAD Software & PRO Tools tools are available as monthly subscriptions paid via e-transfer. Individual tools start at $15-25 CAD per month. The Pro Bundle combines all four tools at a discounted rate. All plans can be cancelled at any time with no cancellation fees or long-term commitments.

Supported Materials

The optimization tools support all standard sheet materials used in CNC fabrication including: Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), plywood (birch, maple, oak, walnut), melamine and thermally fused laminate (TFL), particle board, high density polyethylene (HDPE), acrylic sheets, polycarbonate, aluminum composite panels (ACM/Dibond), PVC foam board, solid surface materials (Corian), and any other rectangular stock sheet material.

Service Area

CAD Software & PRO Tools is available to professionals throughout North America, serving all provinces in Canada and all 50 United States. The web-based tools are accessible from any location with an internet connection.
