TrunCAD

What TrunCAD does

TrunCAD GmbH is a privately held German software company headquartered in Lindau that develops 3D CAD software for the planning, visualization, and production of furniture and kitchens. The product targets professional carpenters and joiners (Schreiner und Tischler) across the DACH region, with a reported installed base of 8,000+ shops ranging from solo tradespeople to 30-employee mid-market operators and institutional buyers. The company positions its software as up to 90% faster than classical CAD for furniture workflows, a claim supported by integrated parametric construction, intelligent connectors with automatic collision detection, and one-click design adjustments.

The core technology stack is built around parametric 3D modeling with deep native integrations into the German-speaking trade's hardware supply chain: fittings libraries from Blum, Häfele, Hettich, Lamello, and GRASS feed directly into the design environment, while direct CNC data export supports HolzHer, HOMAG, Biesse, Gannomat, and SCM machines. Recent product updates (2022–2024) have added pCon.planner integration for photorealistic rendering, AI-assisted (KI) rendering features, an AI support chatbot (TrunBOT), and material/corpus management capabilities. The product family extends beyond the core CAD into TrunSHOP24 (an end-customer e-commerce configurator), TrunFREE (a free tier), TrunWender, and 3DGenerator, suggesting a modular platform rather than a single-product company.

TrunCAD operates a sales-led go-to-market concentrated in DACH, combining direct sales with personal demonstrations, free trials with supported training, a Monday webinar cadence, and a German-language Online Akademie. The revenue model is a perpetual software license (dongle or network) with an optional TrunPoints usage/upgrade system and free variants, distributed directly via website download and supported by regional consulting, Förderberatung (grant advisory), and Gründerberatung (founder advisory) services. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or revenue figures.

Core offering

TrunCAD develops and sells 3D CAD software that enables carpenters and joiners to plan, visualize, and produce custom furniture and kitchens up to 90% faster than with classical CAD. The software combines parametric design, integrated hardware fittings libraries (Blum, Häfele, Hettich), automatic collision detection and through-hole drilling, and direct CNC machine data export for major brands (HolzHer, HOMAG, Biesse, Gannomat, SCM). It is offered as a perpetual license with a TrunPoints-based extension system.

Product overview

TrunCAD is a modular furniture and kitchen CAD software platform designed for carpenters and cabinetmakers. The core product is TrunCAD itself, which provides 3D furniture planning, visualization, and manufacturing data generation (CNC data, part lists, panel optimization). The platform is offered as a single unified product (TrunCAD) with different license tiers (TrunFREE as a free variant for joiners, and a Points-based commercial license). Related products include TrunSHOP24 as an online furniture configurator complement, TrunBOT as an AI-powered chatbot for support, and 3DGenerator as a separate product for rendering generation. The software integrates hardware fittings libraries (Blum, Hettich, Lamello) and exports CNC data for multiple machine brands (HOLZ-HER, HOMAG, Biesse, Gannomat, SCM), positioning TrunCAD as both a design and production-enabling platform.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Polyboard: Cabinet and furniture parametric design software popular with European SMB cabinetmakers. Direct overlap with TrunCAD in furniture/cabinet parametric design, parts lists, and CNC export.
• Cabinet Vision (Hexagon): Closet, cabinet, and furniture design software now owned by Hexagon. Competes with TrunCAD in providing parametric cabinet design with parts lists, renderings, and CNC machine output for SMB woodshops, particularly in North America.
• IMOS AG: German provider of CAD/CAM software specifically for the furniture and woodworking industry. IMOS is the most direct head-to-head competitor to TrunCAD in the DACH market, targeting the same carpentry and joinery workshops with similar machine-output workflows.
• KCD Software: Cabinet and furniture design software (KCDW) used by cabinetmakers and millwork shops. Closely comparable to TrunCAD in target customer (SMB cabinet shops), core functionality (3D parametric cabinet design with CNC output), and pricing tier.
• TopSolid (Wood module): Integrated CAD/CAM suite with a dedicated Wood module for furniture and woodworking manufacturers. Comparable to TrunCAD in combining parametric 3D design with CNC machine programming for wood-based production.
• Mozaik Software: Cabinet and closet design SaaS for cabinetmakers. Comparable to TrunCAD in vertical focus on cabinet/closet shops and CNC-driven manufacturing workflow, with a stronger web-based configurator angle.
• Microvellum: US-based CAD/CAM software for custom cabinet and furniture manufacturers. Comparable to TrunCAD in serving small-to-mid cabinet shops with parametric design and direct CNC output, though Microvellum focuses on the North American market.

Others

• EasternGraphics (pCon.planner): Provider of pCon.planner, which is already integrated with TrunCAD for professional rendering and AR export. A complementary/partner vendor in the same ecosystem rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Dassault Systèmes (SolidWorks): Dominant 3D CAD platform used across industrial design and manufacturing. Represents the general-purpose incumbent against which TrunCAD competes by offering tradesperson-friendly, faster workflows for cabinet and furniture design.
• Autodesk (AutoCAD / Fusion 360): General-purpose CAD/CAM platforms widely used in manufacturing, including woodworking. TrunCAD is positioned as a faster, purpose-built alternative for carpenters who would otherwise use AutoCAD or Fusion 360.
