Comparison

Parametric Wall Studio vs Parametric Studio CNC

Updated Belkacem GuerbasseCompetitor facts checked on 17 October 2026

Short answer

Parametric Wall Studio and Parametric Studio CNC are two unrelated browser tools for designing CNC slat walls, and both let you design for free. Parametric Wall Studio exports DXF, SVG, STL, OBJ, STEP and ready-to-run GRBL/Mach3 G-code with a machining simulator; it gives 1 free export, then costs $3.99 for 24 hours or $9.99 a month, and you may sell what you cut on every plan. Parametric Studio CNC exports SVG, DXF, STL and JSON from a one-off $40 personal licence or a $160 commercial licence, mentions no G-code, and offers exclusion zones around TVs and shelves that Parametric Wall Studio does not have.

Two tools, similar names — not the same company

Parametric Studio CNC (version 2.1) is made by OZ Software and sold through a Gumroad store named CanAmCNC. Parametric Wall Studio is built by Belkacem Guerbasse and runs at btporganizer.tech. The two products are unrelated: no shared company, code or partnership.

This page is written by the Parametric Wall Studio side. That is why every statement about Parametric Studio CNC below comes from its own public pages, linked in the sources at the bottom and checked on 17 October 2026. Where its pages say nothing about a feature, the table says “not mentioned” rather than “no”.

At a glance

What actually reaches your CNC

With Parametric Studio CNC, what leaves the app is geometry: SVG and DXF profile vectors for each slat, an STL of the relief for reference, and a JSON project file. Its site describes these as files for “downstream CAD/CAM software” and says the tool is intended for people who already understand CAM preparation. The cut itself — toolpaths, feeds, tabs, G-code — is set up in the CAM program you already use; its Gumroad page names VCarve, Aspire, Fusion 360, Carbide Create, LightBurn and Easel among others.

Parametric Wall Studio exports the same kind of DXF and SVG profiles, with separate cut and engrave layers, plus STL, OBJ and STEP solids — and it can also write the toolpath itself: ready-to-run GRBL or Mach3 G-code with cutter radius compensation and holding tabs, which the built-in simulator replays before a sheet goes on the bed.

If you already own CAM software and like setting your own toolpaths, that difference shrinks: a DXF goes into VCarve the same way from either tool.

Price for one wall, a year, a shop

In short: for one or two walls, Parametric Wall Studio costs less. For regular use over several years, a one-off Parametric Studio CNC licence costs less — provided you already have CAM software to turn its vectors into G-code.

When Parametric Studio CNC is the better pick

  • You need the pattern to stay clear of a TV, shelves, cabinets or a fireplace: its exclusion zones do that, and Parametric Wall Studio has no equivalent.
  • You prefer to pay once: a one-off $40 or $160 licence instead of a subscription, which works out cheaper if you use it for years.
  • You already run VCarve, Aspire, Fusion 360 or Carbide Create and want vectors to set up your own toolpaths, so built-in G-code adds nothing for you.

When Parametric Wall Studio is the better pick

  • You have no CAM software, or want to skip it: Parametric Wall Studio writes GRBL/Mach3 G-code and lets you check it in the simulator before cutting.
  • You are building one or two walls: $3.99 for 24 hours instead of a $40 licence.
  • You sell what you cut but do not want a $160 licence: selling is allowed on every plan, including free.
  • You need editable STEP solids for Fusion 360 or SolidWorks, tenon-and-mortise joinery, or a perforated acoustic back panel with an NRC estimate.
  • You work on a tablet, or would rather use the interface in one of its 14 languages.

Try both on the same wall

Both tools let you design for free in the browser, so the fairest test is your own wall: same width, height and slat count in each. Start from the Waves template in Parametric Wall Studio, then open the free version of Parametric Studio CNC and compare what each gives you to cut.

Common questions

Are Parametric Wall Studio and Parametric Studio CNC the same product?

No. Parametric Studio CNC is made by OZ Software and sold through a Gumroad store named CanAmCNC. Parametric Wall Studio is built by Belkacem Guerbasse at btporganizer.tech. The two products are unrelated: no shared company, code or partnership. The WallCraft Blender add-on, sold on Superhive by a creator called ParametrStudio, is unrelated to both.

Which one exports G-code?

Parametric Wall Studio writes ready-to-run GRBL and Mach3 G-code with cutter radius compensation and holding tabs, and replays it in a built-in simulator; it is unlimited on Pro. Parametric Studio CNC exports SVG, DXF, STL and JSON files for your own CAD/CAM software; its site does not mention G-code and says it is meant for people who already understand CAM preparation.

Can I sell panels made with either tool?

With Parametric Wall Studio, yes, on every plan including free: the files describe your design, and there are no royalties. With Parametric Studio CNC, selling finished products requires the Commercial licence ($160 on its site); the $40 Personal licence is for non-commercial use only.

Which one is cheaper?

It depends on how much you use it and whether you sell. For one or two walls, Parametric Wall Studio costs less: $3.99 for a 24-hour pass against a $40 or $160 licence. For regular personal use, Parametric Studio CNC's one-off $40 licence costs less than Pro at $79 a year from the first year; for a shop, its Commercial licence ($120 at checkout, $160 listed) costs less than Pro from the second year — provided you already have CAM software to turn its vectors into G-code.

Can I try both for free?

Yes. Both have a free design tier in the browser. Parametric Wall Studio also gives 1 export without an account and 2 with a free account; Parametric Studio CNC's free version disables export and saving until you buy a licence.
