Version 2.1 · CNC dimensional art design software

Parametric design.
Made for makers.

Create your own parametric artwork with Parametric Studio CNC 2.1. Design wood slat panels, explore image reliefs, and prepare fabrication layouts directly in your desktop browser.

Design a parametric artwork without rebuilding models from scratch.

Parametric Studio CNC is made for CNC users, woodworkers, and makers who want fast control over slat count, spacing, depth, sheet layout, support pockets, tabs, rails, and export files.

Parametric pattern presets

Generate waves, ripples, rings, gyroid, vortex, craters, dunescape, starburst, face, and other CNC-friendly relief styles.

Depth map relief import

Bring in grayscale depth maps and convert them into slat-based relief geometry with image controls for contrast, falloff, smoothing, and relief depth.

Fabrication planning

Preview sheet layouts, scale to material size, control part gaps, edge margins, support pockets, support tabs, and slat numbering.

Area exclusion zones

Create clear zones for TVs, shelves, cabinets, fireplaces, or other architectural features while preserving the surrounding parametric design.

Sculpting tools

Push, lower, smudge, pinch, and add text to adjust the relief after the base pattern is generated.

Local design files

Save and reopen project files locally using JSON so designs can be updated as the software evolves.

From pattern idea to CNC layout.

Start with a size and material plan, build the pattern, then move into fabrication output when the design is ready.

Set artwork and slat parameters

Choose imperial or metric units, artwork size, slat count, spacing, width, depth, and relief settings.

Select or import a design

Use built-in presets, import a depth map, sculpt the surface, or exclude areas for real-world installations.

Prepare for fabrication

Review sheet layouts, support rail details, part spacing, edge margin, numbering, and machine-ready output.

Export files built around CNC workflows.

The full version unlocks files intended for downstream CAD/CAM software, including profile vectors and 3D preview geometry.

Common CNC dimensional art questions.

Quick answers for makers comparing parametric wood slat panel design tools, depth map relief workflows, and CNC-ready export options.

What is a parametric artwork?

A parametric artwork is a dimensional artwork whose shape is controlled by adjustable design values. In a wood slat panel, changing the profile of each slat creates waves, patterns, or image reliefs across the assembled panel. Parametric Studio CNC lets you adjust those patterns, the artwork dimensions, and the slat spacing while previewing the result in 3D.

What is Parametric Studio CNC?

It is browser-based CNC dimensional art software for creating parametric wood slat panels, depth map reliefs, fabrication layouts, and export files.

Can it export files for CNC software?

Yes. The full version exports SVG, DXF, STL, and JSON design files for downstream CAD and CAM workflows.

Can I use depth maps?

Yes. True grayscale depth maps can be imported and converted into slat-based CNC relief geometry.

Does it work on mobile?

The app is designed for modern desktop browsers. A laptop or desktop computer is recommended for the best experience.

Can I sell things I make with Parametric Studio CNC?

Selling finished physical products requires the Commercial license ($160) — this covers unlimited sales, with no cap on volume. The Personal license ($40) is for your own non-commercial use only and doesn't permit selling items made with the software. If you're already using the Personal license commercially, you'll need to upgrade — contact us at ozsoftwareps@gmail.com.
