Verified CNC engineering studio · Dawsonville, Georgia
A US millwork engineering and CNC programming studio. We take cabinet and architectural millwork jobs from survey to G-code: field-verified dimensions, AWI shop drawings, clean cut lists, and CNC files audited part by part before they reach your floor.
Scope of work
A design that looks right is not yet a job that cuts right. We take it the rest of the way, so the parts that come off your saw or your router go together on site.
We rebuild the designer's job for production. Walls go to survey dimensions, fillers and scribes go where the room needs them, appliances are checked against their openings, and machining matches your hardware.
Plans, elevations, sections and details to AWI Custom Grade, with substrate, finish, countertop and hardware called out on every sheet. Revisions are tracked from V1 to approval.
Not every shop runs a CNC. We deliver cut lists grouped by material and sorted by size, with identical parts consolidated and every piece traced to its cabinet number.
Mozaik libraries built to your construction standard, so every new job starts right: joinery, line boring, drawer systems and hardware already set and tested on real cuts.
Pre-CNC verification protocol
We are not a freelancer working alone. We are a US millwork engineering and CNC programming studio, and every room moves through the same industrial protocol before a single sheet is cut.
Rooms modeled, AWI shop drawings drafted in AutoCAD, and cabinet structures built in Mozaik and SketchUp.
Parameters, true versus nominal sheet thickness, grain match, Room Settings hardware (Blum, Salice, Sugatsune, Häfele, Gola) and clearances in special cabinets: sink bases, stretchers and bearers.
Per-part operation simulation, line boring, dowels and Z-depth spoilboard safety audited before G-code is released for Homag, MultiCam or Laguna machines.
Field dimensions, imperial or metric units, hardware and material templates.
Libraries, joinery settings and tool parameters confirmed. Nothing reverted to defaults on import.
Walls and angles match the survey. Out-of-plumb and out-of-square conditions get scribes. Plumbing, electrical and HVAC located.
Backs and grooves, blind dados and dowels, finished ends.
Width, height and depth to field. Reveals, stiles and rails, toe kicks, dados and rabbets checked cabinet by cabinet.
Sink base stretchers turned to clear plumbing. Appliances checked against manufacturer specs. Hood ducting clear.
The real batch thickness, 19 mm against 18.6 mm, so joints are neither open nor blown out.
Sheet thickness measured with calipers and set in the library. Hinges, slides and pulls confirmed for the room.
Sheet sizes and trim margins set. Grain direction locked, grain match on doors and drawer fronts. Waste reviewed.
Z-heights, tooling, and a perfect match between submittals, cut lists and code.
Line boring aligned to hardware. Part counts and edgebanding verified. The PDF, the cut list and the CNC file describe the same parts.
Z-depths and toolpaths safe for the spoilboard. Any unclear term or client note resolved before files are released.
Our accuracy guarantee
Every room is checked against the full checklist and signed off before delivery. If an error in our files reaches your shop, we correct it at no charge and your job goes first.
Selected work
Bank branches, receptions, hospitality bars, break rooms and full homes. Every piece shown here was engineered by our team before it went to the shop.
Shown as engineered models. Client and project names are withheld.
Elevations and details
Dimensions to the sixteenth, section cuts and assembly views, callouts where the installer needs them. What the shop needs is on the sheet, not in an email thread.
Service plans
Start with one project, or reserve studio capacity every week. Every plan runs the same three-layer verification protocol.
For shops with variable volume, or to test our system on a first pilot project.
Delivery in 3 to 5 business days. 50% upfront, 50% before G-code release.
Start a pilot projectFor growing shops that need steady deliveries every week without adding payroll.
For high-volume residential and commercial shops replacing an in-house drafter on payroll.
Seat capacity is counted in cabinets; one AWI sheet counts as 3 cabinets. Redesign hours beyond the included revision rounds bill at the plan's hourly rate. Weekly auto-debit equals 12 monthly fees spread over 52 weeks.
Your monthly cost on each plan, against one in-house US drafter producing the same volume: full-month salary, overtime at 1.5x when the volume needs it, 16% employer taxes and $380 in Mozaik and CAD licenses.
In-house drafter at this volume
| Plan | Base | Setups, overage, overtime and taxes | Total |
|---|
Estimate only. Pay-per-box includes one $150 room setup for every 20 cabinets; seats include room setups. The in-house figure excludes benefits, paid time off, equipment and hiring.
Transparent SLA · the triple lock
You receive a clear log of the cabinets and hours used from your monthly cap of 80 or 150, so there are no billing surprises.
Minor dimension or hardware adjustments are included. A full architectural redesign requested after 3D modeling has begun counts toward your monthly allocation.
We reserve dedicated engineering staff and software licenses for your shop every week, so unused monthly capacity resets on the 1st of each month.
About Axis
Axis Millwork Design LLC is a millwork engineering and CNC programming studio based in Dawsonville, Georgia, working for cabinet shops, millwork contractors and designers across the United States.
Why we built Axis Millwork Design
After nearly half a decade engineering for high-volume millwork firms here in Georgia, I kept seeing the same critical failure point: shops applying Lean Manufacturing on the floor, but losing thousands of dollars in the office due to disconnected CAD drafting and unverified G-code.
I realized the industry didn’t need more “line drawers.” It needed technical architects who understood exactly how a hinge, a slide, or a 19 mm board behaves on a Homag or MultiCam router.
That’s why I founded Axis Millwork Design. We don’t just draw pretty boxes; we run your projects through our AI filters to verify every part and engineer certainty. From the exact grain match to the final toolpath, we protect your shop floor from costly rework.

Our mission
To eliminate the biggest bottleneck in the custom millwork industry: the gap between architectural intent and the shop floor. We believe that a shop’s profitability is won or lost in the engineering phase. Our mission is to provide manufacturers with parametric, verified engineering, using AI-driven audits to verify every cutting file before it reaches the shop floor. This keeps CNC machines running, cuts material waste to a minimum, and lets shop owners scale production without the burden of expensive in-house overhead.
Our vision
To set a new standard for B2B millwork engineering across North America. We envision an industry where trial and error at the CNC router is a thing of the past, and where every custom cabinet shop, regardless of size, has on-demand access to an elite, AI-assisted engineering department that delivers a precise fit and AWI compliance on the very first cut.
