BenchUp (formerly KetchUp) is a free, open-source 3D modeler for woodworking and furniture design, written in Rust. Draw with push/pull, lines and tape measure, design boards and joints (mortise and tenon, dovetails), follow grain direction, then export cut lists and cutting plans as PDF. It imports SketchUp .skp files. Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, or in the browser with WebGPU. MIT license.

    Open-source CAD tools are rarely friendly, and SketchUp's free version keeps shrinking. BenchUp goes for the push/pull simplicity woodworkers like, plus joinery and cut lists. It runs in the browser, so trying it takes one click.
