Parametric CNC wall panels

Design a parametric wall.
Download the cut file.

A browser tool for CNC slat panels and laminated benches. Shape the relief live in 3D, then export production-ready DXF.

A parametric wood slat wall panel installed in a modern interior.

Model in browser

Shape the wall, tune dimensions, and preview the result without opening CAD.

Export nested parts

Get numbered DXF sheets and clean vectors ready for your CAM workflow.

Cut on CNC

Move from parametric concept to physical slats with fewer manual layout hours.

The slow part of custom wall panels is not design. It is prep.

Traditional workflow

  • Model the relief, then rebuild real slat profiles for production45 min
  • Resize the wall and redraw profiles after every revision40 min
  • Check again if the panel still fits the chosen sheets20 min
  • Place mounting holes and hope nothing breaks through the face25 min
  • Rebuild nesting once the geometry changes45 min
  • Renumber, engrave and clean the file so CAM will run it25 min
Typical time to first cut-ready file ~3 hrs

That is before the client asks to make it wider, taller or easier to assemble.

kerfab

Change the wall once. The cut package updates with it.

Tune the size, slat spacing and relief live, then export nested, numbered DXF sheets without rebuilding profiles, redoing nesting or cleaning the file in CAM.

Open configurator

CAM proof

Nested sheets your CAM can actually cut.

Export a nested DXF package with sheet size, kerf, numbered parts and clean profile vectors ready for CAM.

Open configurator

Nested by sheet

Profiles fit the plywood size you selected.

Numbered slats

Assembly order stays visible after export.

CAM-friendly vectors

Clean contours for profile cuts and previews.

From slider to cut file, on one screen.

Watch a panel take shape in the live 3D view, then export the nested DXF. The real tool, no mockups.

Pattern library

Twelve ways to move the surface.

From soft dunes to prime-number spirals. Or feed your own SVG outline and let the slats carry it.

Wave (dune)

Tilted sine waves summed into a flowing drift.

Radial rings

Concentric ridges rippling out from a center you place.

Flower bloom

Petals sweeping around the center, spiral turns optional.

Chevron

Folded or crenellated zig-zags at any angle.

Voronoi

Organic cell walls raised across a seeded field.

Quilted grid

Padded diamonds on a tilted lattice.

Quasicrystal

Plane waves summed into a Penrose-like star field.

Phyllotaxis

Golden-angle seeds, the spiral a sunflower uses.

Logistic map

The bifurcation diagram swept across the panel.

Ulam spiral

Cells raised wherever the count lands on a prime.

Concave dimples

Recessed rings pressed into the surface.

Custom SVG

Upload a path outline and the relief carries your shape.

From browser to bench in three moves.

01

Shape it

Set the panel size, slat width and gap, then pick a pattern and push its dials until the relief looks right in the live 3D view.

02

Fit your sheets

Choose plywood size and a mounting system. The tool caps the panel, buries the rod holes safely and nests every part with cutting clearance.

03

Cut and stack

Download the DXF, run the machine file on your CNC, then laminate the numbered slats onto their backing or drop them into the cleat rail.

Built for people who cut sheets.

01

Interior designers

Spec a feature wall a client can see in 3D before a single sheet is bought.

02

Architects

Drop parametric relief into a project and hand fabrication a file, not a mood board.

03

Fabrication shops

Take a DXF that arrives already nested, numbered and machine-safe.

04

Makers and studios

Prototype a pattern on a Sunday and cut it on Monday.

A stock DXF is cheap because it is already fixed. This one is generated for your exact size, pattern and sheet.

Questions, answered.

What do I need to run the cut files?

Any CNC router or laser that reads DXF. The export splits a machine file (cut, drill, engrave) from a separate human reference sheet, so only real operations reach your CAM software.

What material is this for?

Sheet goods. Plywood is the default, but anything you can cut flat and laminate works. You set the sheet size and material thickness yourself.

How are the panels held on the wall?

Two systems. Tie rods thread every slat onto steel rod through a glued backing panel, or a toothed cleat rail screws flat to the wall and needs no backing at all.

Can I bring my own shape?

Yes. Upload an SVG path outline and the relief carries it across the slats, fit to the panel and centered. You can invert it to recess the shape instead.

What do I get for $19?

The full production package for one panel design: the machine DXF, the reference DXF and the sheet nesting for your exact settings. The file stays yours forever.

Does it estimate cost?

Material, machine time, hardware and labor update live as you edit. The numbers are a ballpark, not a quote. Plug in your own local prices and rates.

Is my work saved?

Presets save in the browser, so an accidental tab close will not lose a design. You can name, reload and delete them.

Your next panel is a few sliders away.
