The order arrives with the cut list.
Sawlist is a furniture configurator for made-to-measure workshops. Your customer sets any size, layout and finish and sees a price; the order comes with its parts to cut, a STEP model and the design. Try it on this sideboard.
Three compartments, doors and drawers, on legs 180 × 75 × 45 cm

Sheet layout
The panels above, laid out on standard boards for the panel saw.
- Part, numbered as the cut list
- Offcut to keep, 300 × 300 mm or more
- Waste
Boards of 2800 × 2070 mm (plywood 2440 × 1220); a 4 mm saw kerf between parts and 10 mm trimmed off every edge. Each thickness, material and finish has its own boards, veneer and wood finishes keep their grain along the board, and every cut runs straight across, as a panel saw cuts. Waste is what can't be used again: the saw's cuts, the trimmed edges and offcuts too small to keep.
Files
Demo for furniture makers. No orders are taken here.
The cut list, the sheet layout, the STEP model, the design and a one-page summary, in one file.
Example price
An example with made-up rates, not a quote. A shop puts in its own: boards by area and finish, edging and cutting by panel, hardware by count.
How it was built
35 bodies, rebuilt in 159 ms in advance by a real CAD engine from one parametric design. Its parameters:
Your range, made configurable.
Sawlist turns the furniture you make into configurators like this one, for your own website.
How it works
- Your productYou send a drawing or one unit, the sizes you allow and how you build it.
- One designIt is modelled as one parametric CAD design: sizes and options become parameters, and rules stop what you can't make.
- On your siteThe configurator runs in your customer's browser, on your page, in your finishes, at your rates.
- The orderEach order arrives with its cut list, a STEP model and the design file, ready for the saw or CAM.
See it as your workshop
Type your workshop's name and pick its colour. The bar, the buttons and the order pack take them at once, on every page, so you can show a customer how it would look. Kept in this browser only; nothing is sent.
What the shop gets
Every order brings its cut list as a CSV for your saw or nesting software, and its STEP model goes straight into CAM. Nobody redraws an email.
Rules before orders
Sizes and options you can't build are stopped while the customer chooses, and the page says why.
No server per view
The engine runs in the customer's browser: no fee per session, per rebuild or per order.
Your rates
The price comes from your board, edging, cutting and hardware rates. The ones here are made up.
Files you keep
Each design is a CAD file in an open format, opened by free, open-source software, so nothing is locked away.
On a phone
It works with a thumb, with a keyboard, and without a 3D view the cut list is still there.
Your range only
No catalogue and no other brands: only the pieces you make, in your materials.
Six pieces to try, all from the same engine.
