3D for woodworkers, not engineers
Design it in 3D.
Build it from the cut list.
Woodforge is a wood-first design tool — every model is made of real boards with real joinery, so the cut list, the lumber cost and the cut diagrams fall out automatically.
Design with real boards
Every part is a board cut from real stock — 2×4s, sheet goods, hardwood. A 2×4 is 1½″ × 3½″, and Woodforge knows it.
Add real joinery
Dados, rabbets, holes and dowel bores, miters — parametric cuts you can edit any time, not frozen geometry.
The cut list writes itself
Parts are nested onto stock boards and sheets with kerf, so you get real board counts and cut diagrams — not estimates.
Know the cost before you buy
Lumber-run total in your currency, with offcut percentages. Resize the design and the price follows.
Change the design, the cut list follows
This is the actual cut list for the workbench above, produced by the same engine that runs in the editor. Stretch the bench to fit your shop and every board, count and price updates instantly — nothing to recalculate by hand.
See the full workbench plan →Blueprints that draw themselves
Every design exports a shop-ready plan: an exploded view with lettered parts, dimensioned front, side and top drawings, joinery callouts, and the cut list — all generated from your model and printable as a PDF. What you see here is the real plan output for the workbench, not an illustration.
Design something and print its plan →From flat model to a finished render — in seconds
One click renders your design on your own GPU, right in the browser — soft shadows and real light, no upload and no wait for a render farm. A clean way to show a client or post the build before a single board is cut. Drag the slider: both images are the same workbench, straight out of Woodforge.

In the editorRenderCutplan — cut lists that fit the sheet
Type your panels and the boards you have; Cutplan nests them as a panel saw cuts — straight edge-to-edge cuts, numbered in the order you make them — and updates live while you type. Grain direction, blade kerf, edge banding and minimum offcut size are all respected, and every reusable offcut is measured for you.
- Numbered cut orderRips in red, cross-cuts in blue — follow the numbers at the saw.
- Grain, kerf, bandingPieces keep their grain, the blade width is accounted for, banded edges are marked.
- Any stock you haveMix board sizes and quantities; identical sheets stack, offcuts are listed.
- Print & labelsOne page per sheet, the cut sequence, and a label for every piece.
