Furniture design and making from a 3D model
From idea to parts: design furniture to exact sizes, count the material and print a board layout for cutting.
Exact sizes without drawing
Cabinet, shelf and table generators build furniture to the sizes you enter. Copies into corners place the legs; stacking assembles the carcass.
Cut list and cutting
The cut list shows every part with its size and thickness, the SVG parts export lays them out on boards for laser or CNC, and one command splits a panel into planks with gaps.
Show the customer
Take a picture from any angle, send a link to the model or an HTML viewer the customer opens without installing anything.
What helps you
- Cabinet, shelf and table generators
- Cut list of parts (CSV)
- Parts to SVG for cutting
- Copies into corners and stacking
- Exploded view
- Model viewer for customers
Frequently asked questions
Is ModVex suitable for carpenters?
Yes, for design, cut lists and parts layouts. It doesn’t replace full workshop drawings with joint details.
Can I send the export to a CNC?
Export the parts as SVG or DXF, which most laser and CNC programs read.
How do I show the design to a customer?
Send the model viewer (a single HTML file) or a link to the model – it opens in any browser on phones and computers.
