Cabinet Vision

The industry standard for cabinet design, engineering and CNC manufacturing β€” reviewed for Australian, US and UK workshops.

What Cabinet Vision does

Cabinet Vision is a parametric cabinet design software built specifically for custom cabinetry manufacturing. Unlike general CAD software, it understands cabinets β€” doors, drawers, face frames, hardware, and the relationship between them. You design a kitchen, and the software generates the cut list, hardware list, and CNC programs simultaneously.

Who it suits

Cabinet Vision is best suited to established workshops with CNC equipment, a consistent volume of custom work, and the budget for both the software and the training investment. For shops doing 10+ kitchen jobs per month with a nesting CNC, the investment typically pays back within 12–18 months in reduced programming time and cutting errors.

Pricing

Cabinet Vision pricing is not publicly listed and varies by region and configuration. In Australia, expect investment in the A$15,000–30,000 range for a full licence with CNC output, plus annual maintenance fees. US pricing is broadly comparable in USD terms.

Our verdict

Cabinet Vision remains the benchmark for dedicated cabinet manufacturing software. If your shop has the volume to justify it and a CNC to drive, it is genuinely transformative. Smaller shops or those without CNC should look at Mozaik or dedicated estimating tools first.
