The Slab Studio
A layout editor that speaks stone — slabs, seams, veins, kerf, cutouts, remnants — built into your shop software instead of bolted on for $15,000.
Countertop pieces with exact dimensions: L-shapes, curves, angled edges, circle and oval islands, and shape presets for the common cases. Corners get their own mode — square, radius, or 45° clip — and if an inside corner is sharper than stone can safely take, the editor warns you and fixes it in one tap, before the crack instead of after. Auto-saves as you draw; fully touch-usable on a tablet at the template appointment.
Sinks with per-model presets, an editable three-hole faucet model, cooktops, and custom drawn polygons — with rotation, off-piece warnings, and overlap warnings before the mistake reaches the saw.
Pin the distances you care about — piece to piece, cutout to edge, corner to corner. Change one number and the whole layout adjusts to keep every other measurement true. No CAD experience needed.
Smart Fit nests pieces onto as many slabs as the job needs, honoring your cutting method — kerf width, shared cuts, minimum gaps, edge margins. It ranks layouts on yield and on how usable the leftover is: one big remnant beats two useless strips, and it tells you in trade terms — "35×63″ — fits a vanity top." Pieces don't fit? It offers to add a slab. Made a better arrangement by hand? It never overwrites you.
Show the actual stone photo inside the pieces. Preview how the vein crosses the seam, check the bookmatch, move the piece two inches and save the slab.
Import a template DXF, or export the layout to your CNC or sawjet workflow — with verified round-trip fidelity on arcs, cutouts, and units. Your existing digital tools keep working. And for the shop floor: printable fabricator detail sheets — a full-slab overview, then one large page per piece with dimensions, edge designators, corner treatments, and cutouts.
Then show the customer
The layout rendered in the chosen stone — textured edges, realistic lighting, touch orbit and pinch controls. Backsplash pieces stand up and snap against the counter edge they belong to, so the preview reads like a real kitchen.
Warp the actual slab photo onto a photo of the customer's kitchen — perspective corner-drag, cutout-aware, with a color-correct button for phone photos.
A clean top-down layout of the finished pieces — no customer photo needed. Drag and snap them roughly like the customer's kitchen and send it with the quote.
