PaletteCAD CAD/CAM System | 3D Design, Visualization & CNC Automation

Professional 3D Design and Manufacturing Automation in One Platform

PaletteCAD is an intelligent CAD/CAM system that unites 3D design, visualization, and manufacturing process management.
It is created for furniture manufacturers, interior designers, and industrial companies that value speed, precision, and a seamless workflow — from the first idea to the finished product.

With PaletteCAD you can:

 

  • Create precise 3D projects in real-world dimensions.

  • Quickly generate drawings, bills of materials, and production files.

  • Share visualizations with clients in real time.

  • Export projects directly to CNC machines without errors.

The PaletteCAD Software Suite

PaletteCAD is not just a single program — it’s a smart, interconnected software ecosystem that combines creativity, design, visualization, and production into one continuous process.
Each application within the suite performs a specific role — from the client’s initial idea to the final product — giving your business full control, accuracy, and efficiency.

PaletteCAD

The core of the system — a 3D design and visualization application that enables you to create interiors, furniture, and spaces from scratch.
It includes built-in manufacturer libraries, precise measurement tools, and automated data transfer to production.
PaletteCAD is the creative hub for every designer and manufacturer — the place where every project begins.

Palette CAM

This program connects the design and manufacturing stages.
Palette CAM automatically generates CNC data, component drawings, and cutting layouts.
It ensures smooth data transfer from the office to the workshop — from screen to machine — reducing the risk of errors and accelerating production.

Palette Showroom

Palette Showroom is built for sales and consultation environments.
It’s an interactive solution that allows clients to explore projects in real time, change materials and colors, and experiment with design ideas.
This program transforms your showroom into a modern demonstration space where decisions are made visually and intuitively.

Palette Move

Palette Move allows clients to explore their future project from the inside — right on their phone or tablet.
Using 360° views or VR headsets, they can virtually “walk through” the designed space.
It’s an immersive presentation tool that strengthens client confidence and speeds up decision-making.

Palette Home

Palette Home is a simple yet powerful planning tool for end users.
Clients can independently create a room layout, arrange furniture and materials, and view the result in 3D directly in their browser.
The project can then be easily imported into PaletteCAD for further detailing — a great way to start collaboration with clients even before the first meeting.

About PaletteCAD

PaletteCAD is German-developed software that has been continuously improved for over 20 years in close cooperation with furniture manufacturers, interior designers, and CNC machine producers.
The system enables precise, comfortable, and intuitive work — making it suitable for both small workshops and large industrial companies.

 

PaletteCAD eliminates manual drafting errors, shortens production cycles, and allows clients to see the final result before manufacturing begins.
It’s more than just a design tool — it’s a complete workflow ecosystem.

Key Features
3D Design

PaletteCAD enables you to create 3D models with exact dimensions.
Design rooms easily by adding walls, doors, windows, furniture modules, and materials.
All elements are parametric — when dimensions change, the project automatically adjusts.

Real-Time Visualization

Create photorealistic images and 360° panoramas.
Clients can view projects in VR or directly in a web browser.
Lighting, materials, and color changes update instantly.

Bills of Materials and Specifications

The system automatically calculates material quantities, fittings, and work time.
It generates detailed Bills of Materials (BOM) and cost estimates that can be exported to CSV or PDF.

Manufacturing Drawings and CNC Export

Generate precise drawings, sections, and details — then export directly to CAM/CNC equipment.
Supported formats include DXF, DWG, STL, MPR, and more.
The system recognizes tool libraries and automatically selects the correct machining parameters.

Material and Hardware Libraries

Access thousands of ready-to-use objects, textures, and manufacturer catalogs.
PaletteCAD supports data from Egger, Blum, Hettich, Häfele, and other industry leaders.
You can also build your own custom libraries.

Team Collaboration

Multiple team members can work on the same project simultaneously, manage versions, and share comments or tasks.
Projects are stored securely in the cloud, ensuring all updates are saved in real time.

How PaletteCAD Works
  • Create the space – define room dimensions, add walls, niches, windows, and doors.

  • Model furniture and interiors – select materials, hardware, finishes, and colors.

  • Present visualizations – show your client 3D views, VR panoramas, or real-time previews.

  • Generate drawings and BOMs – all required documents are created automatically.

  • Export to CNC – send production files directly to the machine with one click.

Integrations and Compatibility

PaletteCAD integrates seamlessly with a wide range of equipment and systems:

 

CNC/CAM: Homag, Biesse, SCM, Felder, HolzHer, Weeke, Busellato
File formats: DXF, DWG, STL, STEP, MPR, XML, CSV
ERP/MES systems: Export project and cost data to business management platforms
Hardware suppliers: Blum, Hettich, Grass, Häfele
Cloud services: OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive

Who Is PaletteCAD For
  • Furniture manufacturers – kitchens, wardrobes, and bathroom furniture

  • Interior designers – visualization and presentation of interiors

  • Architects – 3D planning and rendering during concept stages

  • CNC manufacturing companies – automatic drawing and data generation

  • Small workshops – single-license or standalone setup

  • Large enterprises – multi-license network with centralized management

Benefits for Your Business

PaletteCAD gives your company a tangible competitive advantage.
First — speed. Projects that once took days can now be completed in just a few hours. Automated tools generate drawings, BOMs, and CNC files instantly, freeing up more time for creativity and client interaction.

Second — accuracy. Every measurement, material, and component is precisely defined, reducing the risk of errors to a minimum. The system maintains parameter consistency from design through production.

Third — efficiency. PaletteCAD eliminates duplicated tasks and manual re-drawing. CNC-ready files are sent directly to machines, optimizing the entire workflow and reducing production costs.

Finally — professionalism. Clients can see realistic 3D visuals and VR presentations, helping them make decisions faster. This improves client experience, builds trust, and increases sales.
