Stop round-tripping DXFs between your drafting tool and your quoting tool. SlabOS has a full CAD drafting environment built in — AutoCAD-style commands, countertop-native verbs, and your laser templator plugged in over USB. Everything you draft is live geometry that prices, nests, and renders.
Command-driven drafting — the muscle memory you already have, aimed at stone.
If your shop drafts in AutoCAD or DraftSight, you know the loop: draft it there, export a DXF, re-draw or re-key it in the quoting tool, then reconcile the two when the customer changes their mind. Two drawings of the same countertop, and neither one prices itself.
Once in the CAD, again in the quoting tool.
Export, import, re-export every time the layout changes.
The drawing the shop cuts from isn't the one the quote priced.
Quoting tools that can't TRIM, EXTEND, or snap to an intersection.
SlabOS closes the loop. One drafting environment, one drawing, one source of truth — with the command vocabulary of a real CAD and the pricing engine of your quoting tool underneath it.
If you've drafted in AutoCAD, your hands already know this. Type the command, pick the geometry, done. No relearning, no dumbed-down drawing toolbar — command-driven drafting, in the same tool that prices the job.
Cut geometry back to a boundary edge.
Run an edge out until it meets another.
Fuse touching pieces into one shape.
Set an edge to an exact length.
Cut a corner at a set distance.
Split an edge at a picked point.
Measure exact square footage on demand.
Interrogate any object's properties.
Paint one piece's properties onto another — the format brush of the drafting desk.

AutoCAD doesn't know what a splash is. It doesn't know a notch from a bump out, and it definitely doesn't know where a seam should land. SlabOS speaks stone fabrication CAD natively — the operations you do on every kitchen are first-class commands, not workarounds.
Seams get the full treatment: seven seam modes — the complete set fabricators expect from LT3-style workflows — with a live seam ghost that previews the cut before you commit it.
Rectangular cutout at any corner — pillars, appliance returns, cabinet runs.
Flat rectangular protrusion off an edge — sink runs, bar overhang returns.
Drop a splash strip along an edge — priced as splash, not guessed as a line.
Divide one countertop shape into independent pieces.
The full LT3-style set, with a live ghost preview of every cut before it lands.
Fig. 03 — Countertop-native commands. Try finding these in a generic CAD.
See exactly where pieces break and where runs stay contiguous — before anything leaves the screen.
A validation gate walks the geometry and flags problems.
Output is gated behind Check. Clean geometry goes out; broken geometry doesn't.
Fig. 04 — Validation before output. The gate stands between the drawing and the saw.
A drawing error caught on screen costs a click. Caught at the saw, it costs a slab. SlabOS puts a Check gate in front of Print and DXF export — it validates the geometry first, and the contiguous-breaks overlay shows you the piece structure at a glance.
When it passes, export a DXF for your downstream CNC workflows. The file comes from the same geometry that priced the quote — not a re-draw of it.
Digital templating without the middleman. Connect a laser templator over USB — Template Mode runs on Web Serial, right in the browser — fire measurements from inside SlabOS, and the measured points land directly on the canvas.
The raw measurement feed is recorded as you go, and a built-in session run-of-show guide walks the template job from setup to final shot.
Template Mode is in beta. Book a demo and we'll walk your setup through it.

Here's the part no standalone CAD can do: everything you draft in SlabOS is live SlabOS geometry. No export, no import, no sync between tools — the shape you TRIM and NOTCH is the same object the rest of the platform runs on.
The drafted shape is the quote's shape — square footage, edges, and cutouts feed the price directly.
The same pieces lay out on your slabs in the nesting canvas — no re-entry.
Your drafting work becomes the 3D preview the customer sees.
The drawn counter places into the customer's real space in AR.
Built-in Help & Tutorials written for people who draft — command references and walkthroughs in the language of the drafting desk, not generic software help.
The CAD desk is one piece of one platform — quoting, scheduling, slab inventory, the crew app, and the customer portal all live behind the same login. One login, one bill.
Book a demo — bring one of your real jobs and we'll draft it with the commands you already know, then price it, nest it, and show it in 3D from the same drawing.
One platform · one login, one bill · see pricing
No — but if you have it, it transfers directly. Commands like TRIM, EXTEND, CHAMFER, and MATCHPROP work the way a drafter expects, and the built-in Help & Tutorials are written for CAD users. Anyone else can draw with the standard SlabOS drawing tools on the same canvas.
Yes. SlabOS exports DXF for downstream CNC workflows, gated behind a geometry Check so you're not sending broken drawings down the line.
Template Mode (currently in beta) connects a laser templator over USB using Web Serial. You fire measurements from inside SlabOS and the points land directly on the drawing canvas; the raw feed is recorded, and a session run-of-show guide is built in. Book a demo to walk your setup through it.
No — that's the point. Everything you draft is live SlabOS geometry: it prices on the quote, nests on your slabs, renders in 3D, and places in AR. There's no export/import step between a "CAD file" and the quote.
