SketchList 3D was founded by Dave Rozewski, a woodworker and engineer based in Bristol, RI. With a background in industrial engineering, programming, and business, Dave combined decades of experience with a passion for woodworking to solve a common frustration with software for woodworking—designing projects with overly complex CAD tools.
After retiring, Dave began creating custom woodworking pieces and quickly saw that CAD systems, packaged as software for woodworking, were as time-consuming and error-prone as could be. Determined to find a better way, he developed his software for woodworking — simple, visual, and designed to match the workflow of real woodshops.
As other woodworkers saw what he’d created, they asked for copies. That interest turned into a business: SketchList 3D.
SketchList 3D launched during a tough time for small woodworking shops. The economy was down, and competition from overseas and big-box retailers was squeezing independent craftsmen. Dave listened to these shops’ needs and evolved SketchList into a professional-grade design platform.
Today, SketchList 3D empowers nearly 6,000 users worldwide—from solo builders to full-scale cabinetry shops—to:

Plain AWESOME software!
I’ve had Sketchlist for a few weeks now and already sold four jobs with it. I just figured out how to put all 4 wardrobes into one project and run the optimizer to see what materials to order! Thanks, you just saved me some time! Thanks again for all the hard work you put into your product to make it amazing, you thought of everything. I can’t wait to discover all the tricks and tips in the future.

I am a beginner at woodworking but a veteran PC user (software developer/tech) so being able to use software to build the furniture I want in an intuitive manner before trying to figure it out in the real world is a huge plus for me. I have been trying to figure out a desk design for my studio for over six months without much luck, with SketchList I got it down in about 8 hours.

I have to say, I’m impressed with your product – so much so I did purchase after the trial. I’m truly a “basement shop” hobbyist! I’ve dabbled in woodworking in school and on and off again.
After an office remodel, I decided to make a desk to my liking instead of wasting time and effort shopping for one.
Love the software, keep up the great work. 🙂

I am a brand-new customer and, after 30 minutes, have fallen in love with SketchList Hobby. Your program is exactly what I needed – and it is so easy to use. In my first 30 minutes of use, I learned all about SketchList Hobby as I entered my current project. It’s just a simple crate, but it has to be exactly right in order to protect the contents that will be stored within. As I learned more about the program, and took advantage of the different views and tools, I found more than one…
