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.

01

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.

02

Add real joinery

Dados, rabbets, holes and dowel bores, miters — parametric cuts you can edit any time, not frozen geometry.

03

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.

04

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.

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.

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.

Built for the way wood actually works

Imperial fractions & metric

Type 1 1/2″ or 38 mm — both work everywhere, switchable per project.

US & LATAM lumber catalogs

Dimensional lumber, sheet goods and hardwoods with regional sizes and prices, in your own currency.

Cut nesting & diagrams

1D and 2D nesting with kerf shows exactly how to cut each board and sheet, with offcut %.
