Bridging Architectural Concept & Workshop CNC Fabrication
We are building the browser-native parametric CAD platform that empowers custom joinery workshops, interior fit-out contractors, and architectural designers to design, estimate, and manufacture in a single unified workflow.
The $40 Billion Disconnect in Bespoke Manufacturing
In traditional architectural millwork, designers create visual concepts in SketchUp, Rhino, or Revit. But those models cannot be fed to a CNC router—they lack board thicknesses, 32mm system line boring, hinge setback pockets, and kerf clearances.
As a result, workshops spend billions of collective engineering hours manually redrafting every single cabinet in AutoCAD or SolidWorks just to generate a cut-list. If the client changes a room width by 150mm, the entire drafting cycle restarts from scratch.
GearBox Studio eliminates this cycle entirely through deterministic parametric compilation.
Our 4 Architectural Engineering Pillars
Built by woodworkers, CAD specialists, and computational geometry researchers.
±1mm Subtractive Joinery Math
No floating approximations or loose polygon shells. Every carcass gable, door front, drawer box, and plinth is solved as a true orthogonal solid with exact millimeter kerfs and rebates.
Multi-Stock 2440 × 1220 mm Sheet Nesting
Automated 2D guillotine bin-packing engine with saw kerf compensation, perimeter squaring trim, and grain-direction locking to deliver 88%+ material yield on standard 8×4 panels.
Zero Hardcoded Templates
We reject brittle pre-canned library blocks. Our neural-semantic compiler translates natural language prompts and 2D floor plans into first-principles geometric subdivision trees.
Browser-Native WebGL CAD
Zero software installations, zero heavy GPU desktop drivers, and zero cloud streaming latency. 3D interactive joinery and 2D flat patterns render at 60fps in Chrome, Safari, and Edge.
Engineering Milestones
From our first parametric solid solver to full enterprise CAM production.
The Subtractive Kernel
Founded by joinery engineers and software architects frustrated by spending 6+ hours redrawing 2D client sketches into manufacturing-ready CNC models.
Split-Box Solver & Vision AI
Engineered the orthogonal split-box solver and integrated Gemini Argon vision to turn architectural floor plan PDFs and hand-drawn elevations into 3D CAD models.
v2.4 CAD & CAM Platform
Launched multi-stock guillotine sheet nesting, AutoCAD R12/2000 ASCII DXF flat patterns, and real-time collaborative client review portals with PostgreSQL RLS security.
