Dashnode

Dashnode is an AI-powered CNC costing software built to replace slow, manual, expert-dependent costing processes. Instead of relying on toolpaths or complex CAM setups, Dashnode reads STEP and STP files directly and generates accurate machining logic for milling, turning, and turn-mill parts — all within seconds. The platform provides instant costing, bulk configuration, and automatic DFM insights, while allowing complete customization of machine hour rates, material costs, setup assumptions, batch logic, and markups. Every cost is fully transparent, with a breakdown shops can trust and share with customers. Designed for manufacturers, job shops, Tier-1/Tier-2 suppliers, and sourcing teams, Dashnode helps teams respond faster to RFQs, standardize costing across locations, and reduce dependency on senior estimators. It’s fast, accurate, explainable, and secure — a modern costing engine built for real machining, not guesswork.

EngView Suite

EngView Packaging Suite is a CAD/CAM solution for the structural design and production of boxes and POP/POS displays. It offers a wide range of tools that accelerate and automate the daily tasks of structural designers, graphic designers, die-makers, and sales professionals involved in the creation, communication, and manufacturing of packaging. EngView integrates directly with Adobe® Illustrator®, enabling graphic and structural designers to work together on a unified platform. Visualize packaging in 3D with the product inside, apply high-resolution artwork directly onto the structure, and generate production-ready files — all from within Illustrator. With the Step and Repeat feature, which automatically duplicates the single design across the layout directly in Illustrator®, designers can generate production-ready files with high-resolution graphics. EngView Packaging Suite improves every stage of the packaging design - from initial concept to die-line creation, 3D visualization, and output generation. It gives everyone the tools to DREAM, CREATE, and SUCCEED.

FeneCAM

Browser 1-CSP and 2-CSP cutting optimizer for aluminium and uPVC window shops. Plan profile bars and glass/panels with kerf, miters, and remnants; export PDF, XLS, CSV, or DXF for single-head and double-head saws.

Grainwork

Grainwork is browser-based cabinet design and manufacturing software built for production shops that run CNC equipment. The platform takes a job from room layout through cabinet construction logic, shop standards, and manufacturing output, all in one tool that runs in any modern browser. No install, no dedicated cabinet computer, no Windows-only requirements. Grainwork is designed for shops that want to control their own software. Strong defaults get a shop moving without a paid implementation project. Shop standards, construction rules, and system settings can be adjusted by the shop itself without scripting, support tickets, or paid consultants. AI assists with setup and system rule generation, while the output stays inspectable so the shop floor can verify what comes off the machine. The platform is in active development with first version targeted for August 2026.

KWAL Cabinet Studio

KWAL Cabinet Studio closes the gap between designing a cabinet and building it. Every cabinet is a live parametric model: change a dimension, add shelves, drawers or framed doors (wood, glass or mirror), and the 3D view, cut list and sheet nesting update instantly. Compose entire rooms with multi-cabinet runs and L-shaped corners — clearances and filler panels are computed automatically. One click exports everything the workshop needs: a CSV cut list with per-edge banding, CNC-ready DXF per panel, and a multi-page PDF project dossier. Runs entirely in the browser, in English, Dutch and French. Designing and previewing are free; you pay from €15 only when you export. Credits never expire.
