Parametric wall panel generator

Design a parametric wall.
Download the cut file.

A browser tool for parametric CNC and laser-cut wall panels. Shape the relief live in 3D, then export a production-ready DXF, free while in beta.

Free parametric wall DXF, no sign-up, no card

Design any size, pick a pattern, and download the nested cut file. It stays yours, and it's free while in beta.

Get your DXF

How it works

From browser to finished cut in three steps.

Model the panel live, export nested DXF your CAM can read, then send it straight to the machine. No CAD round-trip in between.

Model in browser

Shape the wall, tune dimensions, and preview the result without opening CAD.

Export nested parts

Get numbered DXF sheets and clean vectors ready for your CAM workflow.

Cut on CNC

Move from parametric concept to physical slats with fewer manual layout hours.

The slow part of custom wall panels is not design. It is prep.

kerfab.studio

Change the wall once. The cut package updates with it.

Tune the size, slat spacing and relief live, then export nested, numbered DXF sheets without rebuilding profiles, redoing nesting or cleaning the file in CAM.

Traditional workflow

  • Model the relief, then rebuild real slat profiles for production45 min
  • Resize the wall and redraw profiles after every revision40 min
  • Check again if the panel still fits the chosen sheets20 min
  • Place mounting holes and hope nothing breaks through the face25 min
  • Rebuild nesting once the geometry changes45 min
  • Renumber, engrave and clean the file so CAM will run it25 min
Typical time to first cut-ready file ~3 hrs

That is before the client asks to make it wider, taller or easier to assemble.

CAM proof

Nested sheets your CAM can actually cut.

Export a nested DXF package with sheet size, kerf, numbered parts and clean profile vectors ready for CAM.

Nested by sheet

Profiles fit the plywood size you selected, nested to waste less material.

Numbered slats

Assembly order stays visible after export, so slats go up in sequence.

CAM-friendly vectors

Clean contours for profile cuts and previews, with no stray geometry to fix.

Pattern library

Twelve ways to move the surface.

From soft dunes to prime-number spirals. Or feed your own SVG outline and let the slats carry it.

Wave (dune)

Tilted sine waves summed into a flowing drift.

Radial rings

Concentric ridges rippling out from a center you place.

Flower bloom

Petals sweeping around the center, spiral turns optional.

Chevron

Folded or crenellated zig-zags at any angle.

Voronoi

Organic cell walls raised across a seeded field.

Quilted grid

Padded diamonds on a tilted lattice.

Quasicrystal

Plane waves summed into a Penrose-like star field.

Phyllotaxis

Golden-angle seeds, the spiral a sunflower uses.

Logistic map

The bifurcation diagram swept across the panel.

Ulam spiral

Cells raised wherever the count lands on a prime.

Concave dimples

Recessed rings pressed into the surface.

Custom SVG

Upload a path outline and the relief carries your shape.

Questions, answered.

What do I need to run the cut files?

Any CNC router or laser that reads DXF. The machine file carries only real operations (cut, drill, engrave), so nothing stray reaches your CAM software. Part picking and sheet layout come in a separate cut list.

What material is this for?

Sheet goods. Plywood is the default, but anything you can cut flat and laminate works. You set the sheet size and material thickness yourself.

How are the panels held on the wall?

Two systems. Tie rods thread every slat onto steel rod through a glued backing panel, or a toothed cleat rail screws flat to the wall and needs no backing at all.

Can I bring my own shape?

Yes. Upload an SVG path outline and the relief carries it across the slats, fit to the panel and centered. You can invert it to recess the shape instead.

What do I get with the cut files?

The full production package for one panel design: a machine DXF for every sheet, nested to your exact settings, plus a cut list. The files stay yours forever.

Does it estimate cost?

Material, machine time, hardware and labor update live as you edit. The numbers are a ballpark, not a quote. Plug in your own local prices and rates.

Is my work saved?

Presets save in the browser, so an accidental tab close will not lose a design. You can name, reload and delete them.

Is the parametric wall DXF really free?

Yes, while the tool is in beta. You can design a panel at any size, choose a pattern, and download the full nested cut file with no sign-up and no card. The file is yours to keep and cut as many times as you like.

Can I use this for laser cutting?

Yes. The export is a clean DXF that any laser or CNC router can read. The machine file carries only real operations (cut, drill, engrave), so nothing stray reaches your software.

Can I make a room divider or partition with it?

The tool builds relief slat panels, so it fits feature walls, partitions, and freestanding dividers you assemble from sheet goods. You set the panel size, and both mounting systems (tie-rod through a backing panel, or a cleat rail) work for wall-mounted or backed builds.

Do you have hexagon or geometric patterns?

Yes. The library has twelve relief patterns, geometric and organic, including chevron, quilted grid, quasicrystal, and more. You can also upload your own SVG outline and let the slats carry it.

Built for people who cut sheets.

01

Interior designers

Spec a feature wall a client can see in 3D before a single sheet is bought.

02

Architects

Drop parametric relief into a project and hand fabrication a file, not a mood board.

03

Fabrication shops

Take a DXF that arrives already nested, numbered and machine-safe.

04

Makers and studios

Prototype a pattern on a Sunday and cut it on Monday.

Right now, it's all free.

The full editor and the production cut files, with no sign-up and no card. Design a wall, download the DXF, and cut it for real.

Free while in beta

We'll set fair pricing once the tool leaves testing. The editor stays free either way.

In the editor

  • Full 3D editor, no sign-up
  • All 12 relief patterns
  • Live specification and cost estimate
  • Preset saving

In the cut files

  • Production DXF: clean machine files only
  • Parts nested onto your sheet size
  • Every part numbered and engraved
  • Both mounting systems included
  • Yours forever, cut as many as you like

Your next panel is a few sliders away.
