Draw the kitchen. Press one button. Get the sheets, the machine files, the hardware order and the client's invoice.
A 3.6 m kitchen to a priced quote in about two minutes.
Round parts are round. Plinths clear your toes. Drawers fit a slide you can buy.
Fourteen documents, from the cut list to the invoice.
No account, no server, no cloud. Your prices stay on your machine.
Not decorative boxes. Every rule in here came from a job that went wrong before the rule existed.
A 45° corner is a closed box, not two panels and a hope. Panelwright builds both return sides, a pentagon worktop cut to the mitre, a three-piece plinth and five legs — with the diagonal door hung outside the carcass so it clears.
The blind L corner gets the same treatment, including the dead space you have to reach past.
Most cut lists see a bounding box. Panelwright keeps the real contour — which changes what the router cuts and what the client is billed.
A Ø1260 tabletop has 3.96 m of edge. A bounding box says 5.04 m. Every round part you have ever quoted carried that difference.
The nesting view draws the true circle, the DXF exports the contour on its own layer with the blank on BLANK, and small parts drop into the corners of the blank when the shop cuts on a router.
Contour on PANEL, blank on BLANK. Ready for the router without redrawing.
35 mm cups, 45/9.5 plate pattern, Ø5 shelf pins on a 32 mm pitch, confirmat, Minifix or dowel — following the joinery you chose.
One per part, with the cut size, material and edge codes. Scan it at the bander.
Parts larger than the sheet, non-standard slide lengths, doors too wide for their hinge — caught before anyone cuts.
All of it comes out of the same calculation, with your company header, your terms and the client's details already filled in.
Quotation, design-project quote with a measurement sheet, invoice, contract as PDF and editable Word, and an e-mail draft with the attachments already in it.
Cut list, assembly sheets with 3D views, a shop packet that opens on a phone with no internet, hardware bag and packing list per unit.
DXF per sheet and per part, drilling as PDF and DXF, Excel with live formulas, barcode labels.
Purchase order, one MASTER Excel across every job, planned-against-actual profit, variant comparison, full backup.
Most plugins hand you a spreadsheet and stop. Panelwright carries the job the whole way — and feeds what it learns back into the next one.
Everything is written to folders on your own computer. No account, no sync, no analytics. The only network calls are the update check, the licence activation, and the diagnostics you choose to send.
Prices, hardware, company and client data, the project archive and the offcut store go into a single backup. Automatic backups before a reset or a restore. Move to a new computer in a minute.
Point several designers at one folder on a network drive or local server. The price and supplier database, the project archive, offcuts and stock all live there. File locking and atomic writes mean two simultaneous saves cannot lose each other's work.

Panelwright is built for one- to twenty-person shops. It is not a factory MRP: there is no machine scheduling, no accounting integration and no multi-site server. What it does cover, it covers end to end.
Fractional inches (28 3/8") in the cut list, nesting, documents and labels. Letter or A4. The model decides, or you do.
English, Español, Türkçe, Русский, 中文, Монгол — interface, documents and labels alike. Export the translation file and add your own.
An illustrated guide as PDF, an assistant that reads your calculation and suggests fixes, and a diagnostics report you can send with one click.
Built by Panorama Studio in Ulaanbaatar. Developed by one person, so bugs get fixed quickly and the roadmap comes from real shops.
Every plan unlocks every feature — no modules, no per-cabinet limits, no watermark.
It covers design, production files, your own databases, purchasing and stock, client paperwork, the project archive and profit per job — all from one calculation. It is not a factory MRP: no machine scheduling, no accounting integration, no multi-site server. Within a one- to twenty-person shop, it goes end to end.
Yes. Any group or component is read as a part. Panelwright takes thickness, size, material and exposed edges from the geometry itself, so a model you drew by hand works the same as one the generator built.
SketchUp 2021 and newer, on Windows and macOS. It runs inside SketchUp — there is nothing else to install.
Yes. Point everyone at one shared folder and the price and supplier database, the project archive, offcuts and stock become one shared set — change a board price once and everyone quotes from it.
File locking and atomic writes stop two simultaneous saves from losing each other's work. If someone else edited the price list while your window was open, Panelwright tells you and asks before overwriting, rather than doing it silently.
Use a real network share or a local server. A cloud-sync folder (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive) cannot lock files and makes its own conflicted copies. Company details and document templates stay per computer.
Your projects, prices and settings are files on your own computer and stay there. A key just unlocks the software again. Moving machines is one backup file.
Yes, with one caveat worth knowing. Nesting is MaxRects with kerf, margins, grain and offcut re-use, and round or shaped parts keep their true contour in the DXF. Small parts are placed into the corners of round blanks — useful on a router, wrong on a panel saw, so there is a setting and a warning.
Yes. The catalogue ships with real Blum, Hettich, Häfele, Grass and Salice models and their dimensions and drilling patterns, and you can add your own alongside them.
Everything, for ten days. No card, no watermark, no limit on cabinets or exports. Your projects and settings stay after it ends — a key unlocks them again.
Install it, model one job, press Calculate. If it does not save you an afternoon, you have lost nothing.
