CNC integration in Cabi Plan exports cutting lists and machine files from the same parametric 3D model used in sales, so workshops avoid retyping dimensions — the most common source of drilling and sizing errors.

CNC integration from the same 3D model
Cutting lists, hardware, and CNC export from parametric furniture software — fewer retyped files and fewer drilling errors before the workshop starts.

Why CNC integration belongs in the same workflow
When sales designs one model and production redraws another, errors appear in holes, edge banding, and hardware. Cabi Plan keeps the cabinet configurator project and the workshop file on one parametric chain. You still choose when CNC export is activated for your company.
CNC export for your machine type
Export formats are set for the machine type in your workshop. The CNC module is a one-time activation — not a monthly surprise — and is discussed during onboarding for your setup.
Inspect panels before you send the file
The 3D CNC inspector shows holes on the panel before the file leaves for the workshop, so teams catch missing drillings while the project is still easy to fix.
Parametric furniture software from quote to cutting list
Sales can start in the kitchen configurator or wardrobe configurator, continue with panel furniture quoting, then hand the same model to production. Hardware and panel lists follow the rules defined in your catalog — not a separate spreadsheet rebuilt by hand.

Cabinet configurator data the workshop can trust
A cabinet configurator only helps production if dimensions, materials, and fittings stay consistent after the customer changes an option. Parametric rules keep those values aligned so CNC export reflects what was approved commercially.
Factories that work with partner stores benefit when every showroom uses the same furniture design software stack — fewer “almost the same” drawings and clearer responsibility when something does not fit on the machine.
What CNC integration does not replace
Operators still validate critical jobs, maintain tools, and follow workshop safety. Cabi Plan reduces retyping and visual mismatches between the sold project and the file sent to CNC. Machine-specific tuning is part of activation, not a generic one-click promise for every brand.
A practical CNC workflow for panel furniture
After the commercial project is approved, production exports the cutting list and, when the module is active, the CNC file matched to your machine profile. Teams that previously retyped dimensions into a second system remove an entire class of transcription errors.
Parametric furniture software helps here because hardware positions follow the same rules used in the cabinet configurator during the sale. When a wardrobe or kitchen width changes late, holes move with the model instead of staying on an outdated drawing.
CNC integration is optional. Many companies start with quoting and the kitchen or wardrobe configurator, then add workshop export when the catalog and process are stable. Talk to us on the contact page about activation for your machine type.
Document the agreed export checklist once during onboarding — which profiles, which hardware libraries, who approves the first production jobs. After that, the daily workflow is export, inspect, and cut.
