Framing Lab’s Browser Workshop
A visual picture-framing studio that turns artwork, mat, and moulding choices into cut plans and stock estimates.
- For
- DIY framers, woodworkers, photographers, and small frame shops
- Worth noticing
- The stock optimizer compares three packing strategies, prefers remnants, and keeps different moulding profiles on separate sticks.
Field notes
The workflow spans both visual composition and physical fabrication: users can inspect the glass, mats, artwork, backing, and retainer against the rabbet before cutting. Workshop mode treats inventory as a real constraint, using user-entered stick lengths, remnants, kerf, and moulding profiles rather than a generic form. The site also links several calculator pages into the same studio, while noting that SVG exports are reference drawings rather than CNC output.
