ProCutter Plus stands out in the Superhive library for pairing Blender furniture design with a direct handoff to CutList Plus fx for cutting optimization and CNC routing.
ProCutter Plus is an add-on for Blender aimed at furniture design, covering projects such as kitchen furniture, cabinets, and tables. Built entirely inside the 3D editor, it lets you generate full cutouts of all parts with one click and takes the position of textures on the parts into account. It supports efficient use of materials including plywood, lumber, glass, and metal.
Its central feature is integration with CutList Plus fx, cutting optimization software that maximizes material usage and minimizes waste. CutList Plus fx handles wood, glass, metal, and other sheet materials, offering automatic calculation of optimal cutting, inventory of offcuts, and priority cutting of offcuts in new orders. Through the add-on, you can design in Blender, obtain full cutouts for every part, and send them directly to CutList Plus fx for further processing and CNC machine routing.
This is the first version of ProCutter Plus, with future updates planned. Subsequent updates are provided free of charge, giving access to new features and improvements at no extra cost. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available.
Procutter Plus is best for blender users designing furniture such as kitchens, cabinets, and tables who want full part cutouts and a route into CutList Plus fx for CNC production.
Procutter Plus is completely free to download and use.
ProCutter Plus supports a wide range of Blender releases, spanning from 2.82 through 4.1, including 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, and 4.1. That coverage means the add-on can be used across older long-term releases as well as more recent versions of the software.
