#carpentry #cad #3dprinting

Wondering if anyone uses CAD to design furniture they want to build.

Hubby is a really good carpenter, and we need more specific furniture after a move to a house where the old furniture didn't fit.

Is there a CAD program out there that can print to paper with measurements. eg. for each unique part of the build?

And - probably dreaming here - also prints out an overview of parts showing how many of each is needed for the build?

Subscriptions are out.

@MaryPot Sounds like the automatic cut list function in SolidWorks. That’s designed around metal weldments, but I suspect it could be converted for woodworking.

They don't even have a quick link to prices of anything. Call us and ask for an offer?

We have a budget that does not like us having subscriptions or buying way expensive software that we may or may not find useful. I bet they have a cloud save only too. To proprietary for me. But thanks for the tip! Table looks great .

@MaryPot Best answer I could find online.

As I suspected. Not even cheap for businesses if that is a monthly fee!
