Optimized Material Layouts Save Time and Money
In fact if you are doing a few designs a year – it more than pays for itself. That’s what our users say.
Because the layout optimizer is so highly integrated with the design process – you must keep in mind the material sizes as you design – at least in the beginning. Some new users find this difficult to do. So based on input from phone calls, emails, and online meetings – and with the help of a customer – I now think of learning the optimizer slightly differently.
The You Tube video will show this in detail. The basic idea is optimize EARLY and OFTEN. You’ll identify problems before the project becomes too big. This makes them easier to underrstand and fix.

My woodworking love started in 6th grade in school shop class. I have a BS in Industrial Technology and an MBA. At my first job, I computerized a production accounting system – the results were positive, and I loved the challenges. I left the corporate world to begin woodworking full time and one of my first decisions was to use CAD for my designs. I found that CAD did not meet all my needs. I wrote a specification of what I wanted and turned it into a prototype. SketchList 3D incorporated in 2007. We completed programming and launched. Today thousands of woodworkers use SketchList 3D.
