Design the room. Price the job. Cut the parts. One program.
Shop Pilot is cabinet design and CNC cutting software built by a working cabinet shop. Lay out kitchens, closets, and built ins in 3D, price the job from the design itself, nest the sheets, and send the cut to your machine. No exporting files between programs, and no second program to learn at the machine.

How It Works
- 1
Design
Build the room in 3D: kitchens, vanities, closets, pantries, and built ins. Cabinets size and arrange the way a cabinet shop thinks about them, because a cabinet shop wrote the program.
- 2
Price
The design already knows its cabinets, parts, and materials, so the price comes from the job itself instead of a separate spreadsheet that drifts out of date.
- 3
Build
One step turns the approved room into nested sheets, a complete parts list, a cut list CSV for the shop, and shop drawings as a PDF.
- 4
Cut
Cutter connects to your machine, generates the toolpaths, and streams them to the cut. You see the estimated cutting time before you start and the elapsed time while it runs. If a cut gets interrupted, guided resume picks the job back up without recutting what is already done.
Built In A Real Shop
Shop Pilot was not drawn up in a boardroom. Stone Ridge Cabinetry, a working custom cabinet shop in Leander, Texas, runs its own jobs on Shop Pilot every day, and the program gets better the way shop tools get better: something annoys the people using it, and it gets fixed. Performance adapts to the computer running it, so a modest shop PC and a strong workstation both get a smooth designer.
The Honest Part About Cutting
Shop Pilot Cutter does not hand you G code files. It generates toolpaths inside the program and streams them straight to the machine, so the cut you reviewed on screen is the cut that runs, and nothing gets edited, renamed, or lost in a folder in between. If your shop's process depends on exporting and managing G code files, Shop Pilot is not the right fit, and we would rather tell you that here than after you subscribe.
Machines
Cutter is proven in daily production on the X Carve Pro 4 by 4, the machine in our own shop. Cutter speaks GRBL, the control language used by many CNC routers, and more GRBL machines are being qualified. The X Carve Pro is the machine we test against and stand behind today, and this page will say so until that changes.
