CorteCloud Export earns its place in the blender_extensions library for a focused job: turning Blender furniture models into cut lists that CorteCloud can import. It's a niche, open-source tool built by a hobbyist furniture maker.
CorteCloud Export is a Blender add-on that helps furniture makers create 3D MDF models and export them to CorteCloud, a cut-plan system that imports spreadsheets. Built on the open-source Blender, it provides tools to build furniture pieces and produce cut lists in a CSV format compatible with CorteCloud's specifications.
Beyond export, the add-on covers a few steps of the modeling workflow. Environment Setup configures your scene for modeling, Base Material Creation generates common MDF materials automatically, and Example Piece Creation quickly produces a suspended drawer niche for prototyping. CSV Export writes your designs out in CorteCloud's format, and version 1.0.5 sets a default file name and appends the .csv extension automatically when saving.
The extension is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. You can add it by dragging it into Blender or downloading and installing it from disk.
CorteCloud Export is best for dIY enthusiasts and makers using Blender for furniture design with open-source tools.
CorteCloud Export is completely free to download and use.
CorteCloud Export is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so any release from that version onward can run it. The add-on is built on Blender itself and works within your existing scene, letting you model MDF furniture and export the results to CorteCloud's CSV format. Version 1.0.5 was updated in September 2024. If you're on an older Blender release, you'll need to upgrade before installing, since versions below 4.2 aren't listed as supported here.
CorteCloud Export installs like other Blender extensions: you can drag and drop the add-on file into Blender, or download it and use Install from Disk. Once enabled, it adds tools for configuring your scene, generating base MDF materials, creating an example piece, and exporting your designs as CSV. The extension requests permission to export CSV files, which it needs to write cut lists to disk. For the download and full setup details, see the developer's GitHub page.
CorteCloud Export is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, an open-source license. The extension is built on Blender, which is itself open-source, and the project source is available on the developer's GitHub repository, written entirely in Python. Because it's GPL-licensed, you're free to use, study, and modify it under the terms of that license. For the exact license text and any usage conditions, check the developer's page for the current details.
CorteCloud Export is listed as free here in the catalog, and it's distributed under the GPL v3.0 or later open-source license. The developer created it as a hobbyist furniture maker looking for an alternative to paid MDF design software. You can download the add-on and install it directly in Blender at no listed cost. For current licensing terms and the latest release, refer to the developer's GitHub page, since project details can change over time.
