Design furniture by describing it
Coobic turns a sentence, a photo or a sketch into a buildable 3D design — cabinets, wardrobes, shelving, desks — with a cut list, edge banding and a photo-real render your client will love.

How it works
From an idea to a cut list in three steps
No drawing, no plugins, no 300-page manual. If you can describe it, you can build it.
A sideboard like this, 1800 wide, in oak

Built it: 2 doors, 3 drawers, oak legs — 1800 × 780 × 469.
Describe it — or sketch it
Type it the way you’d tell a colleague, or attach a photo or a napkin sketch. The AI designer builds it from real boards: sides, shelves, doors, drawers, plinth and legs.
Snapped · touching shelf-2Refine it in 3D
Drag any part, type exact sizes, measure anything. Parts snap flush to their neighbours and turn red when they collide. Ask the AI for the bigger changes.
Take it to the workshop
Download the cut list, parts list and hardware. Edge banding is already deducted from every cut size, and boards are counted per sheet.
Realistic renders
From 3D model to photo in seconds
Show clients exactly what they’re getting before a single board is cut. Frame the shot, describe the room — a bright Scandinavian dining room, a dark walnut study — and Coobic turns your design into a photograph.
- Keeps your exact proportions, fronts and materials
- Any room and any light — just describe it

Every piece here was built from real boards in the editor, then photographed by the renderer. The small picture is the 3D model it started from.

Features
Everything the workshop needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
Real boards, real thickness, real hardware
Every part has a material and a thickness, so sizes add up the way they will in the workshop. Cabinets come with their hinges, slides, shelf pins and connectors already counted.
Snaps and collision checks
Parts snap flush to their neighbours and turn red the moment they overlap.
Photo or sketch to 3D
Attach a picture and the AI builds what it shows, using any dimensions written on it.
Add a shelf under this one
Added — your shelf stays where you put it.
Your edits stay yours
Move a shelf by hand, then ask the AI for more. It changes only what you asked for.
Measure anything
Click two points, or select a part to see its clearance to everything around it.
Parts overlap
shelf-1 and shelf-2 take up the same space — move one up by 8.7 mm.

Cut lists
How Coobic calculates a cut list with edge banding
Coobic subtracts the edge-banding thickness from every banded edge, so each size on the cut list is the size to saw before the banding goes on — the finished part comes out exactly as designed.
cut length = length − bands on the 2 short edges
cut width = width − bands on the 2 long edges
Boards are then grouped by material and counted per sheet (2800 × 2070 for chipboard and MDF), and the banding is totalled in metres per type.

Frequently asked questions
What is Coobic?
Coobic is an AI furniture designer for panel furniture — cabinets, wardrobes, bookcases, sideboards, desks and shelving. You describe the piece in plain words or attach a photo or sketch, adjust it in 3D, and get a parts list, a cut list with edge banding deducted, a hardware list and a photo-realistic render. It runs in the browser.
Can AI really design furniture that can be built?
Yes, because Coobic’s AI doesn’t draw pictures — it writes a parametric design that a furniture engine builds from real boards with real thicknesses. The engine checks every design for overlapping parts, unsupported parts, panels larger than a sheet and curves too tight for edge banding before anything is cut.
How does Coobic calculate cut sizes with edge banding?
It subtracts the banding thickness from every banded edge. Cut length = finished length − the banding on the two short edges; cut width = finished width − the banding on the two long edges. A 1600 × 344 mm top with 0.6 mm veneer on the front and both ends is cut at 1598.8 × 343.4 mm.
Can I design furniture from a photo or a sketch?
Yes. Attach a photo or a hand sketch in the chat. The AI reads the proportions and any dimensions written on it, uses standard sizes for anything it can’t read, and lists those assumptions so you can correct them.
How realistic are the renders?
Renders are generated from your exact 3D view by an image model that keeps the design’s proportions and materials and places it in the room you describe. A quick render takes about 6 seconds; the best quality (2K) about 20 seconds.
Which materials can I use?
Melamine chipboard (white, black, oak decor), oak-veneered MDF, MDF, birch plywood from 6 to 24 mm, solid oak panels and HDF for backs, plus solid oak, pine and steel tube for legs and rails. Edge banding ranges from 0.6 mm veneer to 2 mm ABS.
Can I export the cut list?
Yes. The cut list, parts list and hardware list download as CSV files that open in any spreadsheet or panel-saw optimiser.
Is Coobic free?
Yes, during the beta, with no sign-up. The AI designer and realistic renders have a daily usage limit. Designs are saved in your browser.
