Why Cabinet Vision Matters in the U.S. Millwork Drafting
What Is Cabinet Vision?
Cabinet Vision is a specialized design-to-manufacture solution used for drafting, planning, and engineering custom cabinetry and millwork. It’s widely adopted by U.S. manufacturers, millwork firms, and designers due to its powerful integration of design, cut-list creation, and CNC machine readiness.
Importance in the U.S. Market
The U.S. cabinetry market is growing rapidly, projected to reach $28 billion by 2026. With increasing demand for custom cabinetry in both residential and commercial construction, software like Cabinet Vision ensures drafting teams can keep up with volume while maintaining high precision and consistency.
Top Features in Cabinet Vision 2025
Let’s dive into the best features of Cabinet Vision 2025 that make it a game-changer for technical drafting and millwork production.
1. Enhanced Rendering Engine for 3D Visualizations
