Making great furniture starts with great furniture design software that enables you to move from idea to shop quickly and efficiently. Pencil and paper approaches are costing you time, and money, and limiting the boundaries of your work. This can frustrate and wear you out. SketchList 3D’s furniture design software gives you the power and flexibility to design great work with ease and speed. You will enjoy your woodworking more because you will have great designs, drawings, and reports to build from.
Furniture design software doesn’t have to be such a headache.
Professional furniture designers, interior designers, and hobbyists know the design process takes time and patience. Not to mention the sheets and sheets of paper wasted and pencils worn down to the nib from drawing, re-drawing, and correcting mistakes.
Sure, you could spend hours trying to learn CAD, navigating past its engineering-first workflow, but that is simply the wrong way to go.
Sounds great. Create furniture pieces that are both beautiful and functional with less stress and frustration.
With less time spent on each piece, you could experiment more and learn new techniques quickly. You could also free up your time to take on higher-end projects or put designs together for your furniture.
What if we told you that a furniture design program exists to do all that?

Furniture design software renders 2D and 3D designs on a Windows or MAC computer. Virtual wooden boards are used when creating the designs. Then users can render photorealistic images to portray the design as a finished product. Advanced furniture design software should have many materials, wood species, and textures, including pine, mahogany, oak, ash, beechwood, and much more.
The best furniture software applications will offer the option to export and send material requirements, measurements, 2D dimensional drawings, and 3D renderings to clients.

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…
