If you’ve ever modeled a piece of furniture in a 3D program and thought, “Now what?”, you’re not alone. Most woodworkers — hobbyists and pros alike — love designing in tools like AutoCAD, Shapr3D, or SketchUp. But when it comes to turning those models into cutlists and assembly instructions? That’s when things get clunky.
That’s exactly why I created MakerKit3D. It’s an online tool that takes your 3D design (specifically OBJ files) and instantly generates everything you need to build it — including:
- Detailed cutlists with accurate dimensions
- Exploded views and step-by-step assembly instructions
- Auto-scaled printouts and templates (great for shop reference)
Design Once. Build — or Sell — Forever.
MakerKit3D isn’t just about saving time (although it does that really well). It’s about turning your creativity into something tangible — and even profitable. Once your plan is generated, you can build it yourself or sell it online as a downloadable woodworking plan.
And because everything is generated from your original 3D model, you’re not duplicating work. Just upload, tweak a few settings, and you’re ready to print, build, or list it on your shop.
No CAD Experience? No Problem.
You don’t need to be a CAD wizard to use MakerKit3D. If you can export an OBJ file from your favorite 3D software, you’re good to go. And if you’re just starting out, we’re building tutorial videos and how-to guides to walk you through the process.
What Types of Projects Can You Use It For?
Most MakerKit3D users are creating furniture — like coffee tables, bookshelves, and cabinets — but the platform works just as well for small shop projects, fixtures, and even complex joinery. If it can be modeled, it can be turned into a plan.
Try It Free and See For Yourself
I built this tool because I needed it myself. Now it’s ready for you to try too. Whether you’re designing for your own shop or building plans to sell, MakerKit3D saves hours of manual work and makes your ideas build-ready in a snap.
