CabinetCRUNCHER is an Excel-based cabinetmaking software system for calculating cabinet cut lists, material requirements, and project costs. It supports both face-frame and frameless cabinets and includes integrated CabinetVIEW for 3D cabinet design and visualization. DoorCRUNCHER and DrawerCRUNCHER provide specialized construction cut lists for doors, drawer fronts, drawer boxes, and roll-out trays.

Both the Professional and Artisan Series provide the same core cabinet calculation and cut-list capabilities. The Professional Series adds project estimating, material and labor costing, and other business-oriented features for professional cabinetmakers, contractors, and serious woodworkers. The Artisan Series is designed for DIYers, hobbyists, and home woodworkers who don't need those additional estimating and costing features.

CabinetVIEW and CabinetCRUNCHER are integrated into the same application, but changing the SketchUp model does not automatically recalculate your production cut lists.

After making design changes, update the applicable dimensions or settings in CabinetCRUNCHER before generating your final production information.
