Labs
Custom, at the speed of standard. Atelier Labs is the R&D and investment engine behind the platform — it learns from every live project to make custom work buildable at scale. The Atelier Estimator is what ships today; the rest of the roadmap stays in the shop until it's ready.
Custom shouldn't cost what custom costs. Bespoke work is expensive because every piece is a first attempt — Labs exists to delete that penalty.

The estimate moved into the model.
The Atelier Estimator is a SketchUp extension that connects the moment of design to the economics of making it. Browse Atelier's live material library, let the plugin take off areas and components straight from your geometry, and watch a machine-time-based estimate assemble itself while you draw. When the numbers work, request a formal quote — without ever leaving the model.

Live material library
Curated woods, stones, metals, and finishes with real unit economics — the same library Atelier's production floors build from, kept current inside the panel.
Automatic takeoffs
The plugin reads components, faces, and areas directly from your SketchUp model. No re-measuring, no spreadsheet — and nothing ordered twice.
Machine-time pricing
Estimates are computed from machine time, material, and finishing passes — not markup guesswork — so the number on screen is a number a factory can hold.
Quotes in one click
Send the takeoff and your spec to Atelier from inside the panel. A formal engineered quote comes back through the same channel.
Sustainability
The greenest material is the one never cut twice.
Cut once, waste less
Precise digital takeoffs let sheet goods nest tighter and offcuts shrink to the edge. Material is ordered to the model, not the guess.
Precision kills rework
Machine-time pricing runs on the same tolerances the floor holds. Parts fit the first time, so scrap, re-cuts, and the emissions of doing the job twice mostly disappear.
Built to be repaired
Custom work engineered to last decades — and detailed to be refinished and repaired — is the quiet opposite of disposable furniture.
