What Microcad Software does

Microcad Software S.L. is a privately-held Spanish software company founded in 1987 that develops specialized CAD solutions for interior design. Its product portfolio targets the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, closet, and commercial space design verticals, with flagship products Autokitchen (kitchen design, offered in Pro and Studio tiers), Autodecco (commercial interior and food-service design), and Autoclosets (wardrobe and walk-in closet design), plus lower-priced Quick3DPlan and Quick3DCloset variants for cost-sensitive users. All products feature step-by-step design wizards, 3D visualization, AutoCAD compatibility, BIM export capability, and run on Windows, Mac, and iOS platforms.

The core technology relies on proprietary CAD algorithms purpose-built for interior space planning, supplemented by integrated manufacturer catalogues from named partners including Arnit, Cancio, Compac, Dekton, Delta Cocinas, Egger, Diomo, and Franke. Solutions are sold both as perpetual licenses and as recurring subscriptions, with multi-tier pricing (Pro, Studio, Quick3D) designed to capture different professional and prosumer segments. The platform is compatible with Autodesk's AutoCAD, positioning Microcad's products as specialist add-ons within the broader professional CAD workflow rather than direct AutoCAD competitors.

The company monetizes through direct, assisted sales operations conducted across three regional offices: Malaga, Spain (legal headquarters), Englewood, NJ USA, and Rickmansworth, UK, each with dedicated phone numbers and sales email addresses. Target customers include interior designers, kitchen and bath specialists, cabinetry and closet professionals, commercial facility planners (hotels, schools, restaurants), and retail/franchise operators. The company is privately held, has been self-funded since founding, and discloses no external investors, M&A activity, or public revenue figures.

Direct peers

• Cabinet Vision (Hexagon): Cabinet Vision, now part of Hexagon, provides cabinetry and closet manufacturing design software used by custom cabinet shops. It is a direct peer to Autoclosets and Microcad's cabinetry-oriented features, with deeper CNC/manufacturing shop output that competes for the same custom-closet/cabinetry customer wallet.
• Cedreo: Cedreo delivers residential 2D/3D home design software aimed at home builders, remodelers, and interior designers with a cloud-native delivery model. It competes with Microcad's residential design offerings and pressures on collaboration, browser access, and price-point where Microcad's desktop stack is weaker.
• 2020 Spaces (formerly 2020 Design): 2020 Spaces provides kitchen, bath, and closet design software targeted at dealers, designers, and big-box retailers, directly overlapping with Autokitchen and Autoclosets on core workflows, manufacturer catalogue integration, and 3D visualization. Long-established direct competitor in the vertical kitchen/bath/closet CAD niche.
• Chief Architect Software: Chief Architect is a direct peer offering CAD-based residential design software for kitchens, baths, and home interiors, targeting the same designer/builder buyer profile with tiered, perpetual + subscription licensing. It is one of the closest direct competitors to Microcad's Autokitchen/Autodecco products in the North American residential market.

Broad incumbents

• Trimble SketchUp: SketchUp is a broad 3D modeling incumbent used across architecture, interior design, and construction, with a free tier that competes with Microcad's Quick3D products and a Pro tier that overlaps with AutoCAD-compatible workflows. It is a much larger platform that surrounds Microcad's niche from above and below.
• SmartDraw: SmartDraw is a general-purpose diagramming and design platform used across floor planning, office layouts, and interiors. While not vertically specialized in kitchens/closets, it overlaps with Microcad's commercial-space design segment (Autodecco) for office and retail layouts at lower price points.
• Autodesk: Autodesk owns AutoCAD and Revit, the platforms Microcad explicitly integrates with. While Autodesk is not a direct vertical specialist in kitchen/closet design, its ecosystem dominance and emerging cloud offerings (Forma, Fusion) make it both Microcad's most important partner and its largest structural risk.

Emerging players

• RoomSketcher: RoomSketcher is a cloud-based floor plan and 3D home design tool with freemium and subscription tiers, targeting homeowners, real estate, and small design firms. It competes at the affordable/entry tier adjacent to Quick3DPlan with a delivery model (browser + mobile) Microcad does not currently match.
• HomeByMe: HomeByMe is a 3D home design platform aimed at consumers and design professionals, with cloud rendering, manufacturer product libraries, and a freemium model. It overlaps with Microcad's residential interior use cases and competes on catalogue-driven visualization at the entry tier.
• Planner 5D: Planner 5D offers cross-platform 2D/3D home design with freemium and subscription pricing, including AI-assisted layout features. It competes at the consumer/SMB entry tier and pushes Microcad on mobile reach (iOS + Android), AI features, and self-serve pricing transparency.
