Two measurements, one design
Draw the worktop to a sketch measurement for the quote, then import the templator's DXF file once you've measured up. The app lays the measured dimension alongside the sketch measurement and shows what's changed.
For kitchen worktop manufacturers
You sell a kitchen worktop to a size that doesn’t exist yet. The kitchen
isn’t there, the walls aren’t straight, and yet a price has to go on the
table. That gap between what you quote and what you eventually cut is
where the money leaks away: in extra work nobody passed on, in a slab that
just doesn’t fit, in a cut-out that went into the saw at the wrong size.
Worktopdesigner keeps both measurements and shows the difference.
How it works
- Draw to the sketch measurement. Segments, cut-outs, edge finish and
upstand, in the material the customer chose.
- Send the quote. The design becomes a quote line in Sales, with the
price that follows from the material and the work involved.
- Measure up. Once the cabinets are in place, the app imports the DXF
from the templator.
- Review the difference. The as-built survey sits alongside the
sketch measurement; what’s changed is right there.
- Deliver production-ready. What goes to the shop floor comes from
the same design — including the item number for every cut-out.
Who it’s for
- Kitchen worktop manufacturers in stone, composite, ceramic and HPL.
- Sales staff and designers who have to give a price from the kitchen
drawing.
- Measurers and production planners who take the customer’s
measurement to the saw without a retyping step in between.
What it gets you
A quote built on a real material calculation, a check that watches before
the slab is ordered, and a measured dimension that’s demonstrably tied to
that same job. The extra work that used to only show up on the shop floor,
you now see while you can still do something about it.
Worktopdesigner was developed together with partner Produvar and connects
to the platform’s other applications for manufacturing.
What it does
-
The worktop the way it will actually sit
Drag rectangular segments or click out a free-form shape for a worktop that isn't square. Place cut-outs with a single click — sink, hob, tap hole — and the click point is immediately the centre of the cut-out.
-
Presets for what you draw every week
Single, one-and-a-half or double sink, hob in three sizes, Ø35 tap hole. You never have to look up dimensions. For an under-mount sink, you also choose whether the worktop overhangs, the bowl overhangs, or everything sits flush.
-
The check comes from the material
Too little material between a cut-out and the edge, too narrow a bridge between two cut-outs, a seam running through a cut-out — it shows before you save. The limits belong to the material, not to the app: ceramic is stricter than composite, simply because the slab is. In natural stone, the narrow bridge is a warning with advice to bond it.
-
Sketch measurement and as-built side by side
A worktop gets measured twice: on the kitchen drawing for the quote, and at the customer's home once the cabinets are in place. Import the DXF from the laser templator, point out which line is the worktop outline and which is the wall, and you see the difference from the sketch measurement laid out. Walls are never straight; now you know in advance what that costs.
-
The item number belongs to the cut-out
For every cut-out you record which sink or hob it's for. That's the field that stops the saw working to the wrong size because a different appliance turned out to be supplied.
-
Your own materials and slab sizes
Stone, composite, ceramic or HPL, with the slab sizes from your own supplier and the standard thickness per material. Whatever doesn't fit, the app knows before the slab is ordered.

Frequently asked questions
- Why two measurements instead of one?
- Because the quote has to exist before the kitchen does. On the kitchen drawing you take the sketch measurement, and that's what you price it on. Only once the cabinets are in place do you measure up — and that's when the wall turns out not to be straight. Keeping both measurements shows you what changed between quote and production, instead of the difference disappearing somewhere in the margin.
- Which files can I import?
- An ASCII DXF from a laser templator such as a Proliner, or an export from a kitchen design package. A binary DXF is rejected with a message telling you to export as ASCII instead. The app reads the unit from the file; if it isn't in there, it assumes millimetres and says so visibly.
- Does it work out the price too?
- Yes. Material, cut-outs per type, edge finish and upstand all feed into a price indication, and the design goes through to Sales as a quote line. Every cut-out has its own rate, because a tap hole isn't a hob.
- Do I have to keep saving?
- No. The Designer saves your work itself; in the top right you see whether it's saving or done. There's no separate save button to forget.
