Cabinet Making Software That Gets You From Plan to Cut List
Design your cabinets, generate an accurate materials list, and walk into the shop with a plan you trust — before you touch a board.
The expensive mistakes in cabinet making happen in planning, not execution. Wrong dimensions, poor spacing, not accounting for how components interact — these are design problems, not skill problems. Good cabinet making software closes the gap between “I want to build this” and “I have a plan I can actually build from.” Cabora is built to be that tool — without the enterprise learning curve that makes professional software inaccessible for anyone who isn’t using it every day.
What Cabora does for makers
Design first, cut second.
Enter your room dimensions, place your cabinets, and see the layout before you spend a dollar on material. Catch dimension problems, spacing issues, and door swing conflicts in the software — not in the shop.
Accurate materials list before you buy.
Cabora counts every component — sheet goods, solid wood, doors, drawers, hinges, slides, and pulls — directly from the design. Know exactly what you need before you go to the lumber yard.
No CAD training required.
Professional cabinet design software has a steep learning curve built for full-time CAD operators. Cabora is designed to be useful from the first session — if you can describe what you want to build, you can design it.
Revise freely before anything is cut.
Change cabinet sizes, swap door styles, adjust the layout — it all updates instantly. Make every mistake in the software, not in the wood.
Always on the latest version.
Updates ship automatically — no download, no reinstall, no paid upgrade cycle. New features go live for every user on the same day.
Who it’s for
Serious hobbyists.
Building one kitchen or a garage shop doesn't mean you should spend two weeks learning enterprise software. Cabora is productive from day one and free to start.
Woodworkers expanding into cabinets.
If you know joinery but are new to cabinet layout, Cabora gives you the structure to plan a full run accurately — dimensions, material quantities, and a build sequence you can follow.
Solo makers doing their own design.
Skip the graph paper and the spreadsheet. Design in Cabora, generate the materials list, and walk into the shop with a plan you actually trust.
The planning phase is where a build succeeds or fails. Cabora runs in the browser — free to start, no install required, no training week before it’s useful.
