Slabwise is a cloud-based platform for stone countertop fabricators that combines quoting, nesting, DXF cleanup, and production management into a single workflow, letting shops go from templater file to machined cut path without switching tools.
What is Slabwise?
Slabwise is a software platform built specifically for custom countertop fabrication shops. It takes DXF files from templaters (LT-2D3D, Proliner, Flexijet) and produces machine-ready CNC files, optimized slab nests, branded quotes with deposit links, and a centralized job dashboard. The platform runs in a web browser and is developed by the Slabwise team (no parent company listed on the page).
Key Features
- Multi-job nesting — Batch pieces from up to three jobs onto a single slab with vein-aware placement, edge rotation, and book-matching; reduces slab waste from a reported 22% to 9%.
- Middleware DXF cleanup — Auto-detects template source, validates geometry, matches sink cutouts to manufacturer specs, and rebuilds the layer stack for machines like Park Industries, Breton, Intermac, and BACA Systems.
- Photo-to-template AI — Free tool (no login required) that estimates dimensions, cutouts, and square footage from a phone photo; returns a rough DXF and price range in seconds. Limited to 3 free uses per day; unlimited on Pro and Enterprise.
- Auto quoting — Pulls square footage, edge linear feet, and cutout counts directly from the DXF; generates Good/Better/Best material options, a branded PDF, and a Stripe deposit link from one job page.
- Customer portal with e-sign — Customers can review quotes, sign electronically, and pay deposits online; contractors get GPS tracking and a portal of their own on the Pro plan.
Who is it for?
- Stone countertop fabricators — Owners and shop managers who need to quote custom jobs, nest slabs, and move DXFs from templaters to CNC machines without manual rework.
- Templaters and field estimators — Use the photo-to-template AI to generate quick dimensions and rough DXFs from a phone, enabling same-day quotes before a full template visit.
- Production managers — Track active jobs, monitor waste rates, and batch multiple jobs onto single slabs to improve yield and reduce material costs.
What can you do with Slabwise?
- Quote a custom job in under a minute: Drop a DXF in, auto-populate square footage and cutout counts, select material tiers, and send a branded PDF with a deposit link — all from one job page.
- Batch-nest three jobs onto one slab: Reduce waste from typical shop averages (reported as 22%) down to 9% by combining pieces from different jobs with vein-aware rotation and book-matching.
- Clean and convert any DXF: Upload a file from LT-2D3D, Proliner, or Flexijet and get back a machine-ready file for Park, Breton, Intermac, BACA, or other supported CNCs — no hand cleanup needed.
How does Slabwise work?
The five-stop workflow is: (1) DXF lands via email, Dropbox, or drag-drop; (2) middleware auto-cleans the file — splits layers, checks geometry, matches cutouts; (3) nesting batches pieces from multiple jobs onto a single slab; (4) CNC file is tuned for the target machine and CAM software; (5) quote is generated and sent to the customer for e-sign and deposit. Most shops report being up and running within seven days.
