Segmented Bowl Designer Desktop Licence
Segmented Bowl Designer for Windows — a one-time desktop licence for one computer. Ring sizes, cut list and a 3D preview, and it works offline.
Segmented Bowl Designer — the full desktop studio
Design the bowl, draw the segment patterns, and walk to the saw with true-size cutting guides in your hand. This is the complete version: everything the online designer does, plus the pattern editor, the printed guides, and the 3D-print and Blender exports. One payment, no subscription.
Draw the Profile
Click-and-drag half-profile editor with fraction snap — the bowl, the rings and the cut list all follow your curve live.
Segment-Face Pattern Editor
Draw inlay patterns on a 1/16" grid with shapes, lines and your own dimensions. Assign a pattern to any ring. Desktop only.
Live 3D Preview
Orbit the finished bowl with brick-staggered joints and per-ring wood tones, exactly as it will glue up.
Full Cut List
Miter angles, segment and strip lengths, board feet per ring and totals. Per-ring segment counts. Export the chart as a PDF.
True-Size Cutting Guides
Pattern Cuts PDF — each patterned ring printed at 100%, enlarged copy plus a true-size copy on the same page. Desktop only.
Colour 3D Printing
Export a colour 3MF that opens fully coloured and gap-free in OrcaSlicer — one filament slot per species. Desktop only.
Export to Blender
Every segment as its own closed, watertight solid in assembled position, wood as material. Desktop only.
STL Export
Print a scale model of the bowl before you cut a single board — slicer-ready, millimetres, flat on the bed.
Buy it once
$200, one time. No subscription, no renewal.
Download
The download link is emailed to you right after checkout.
Activate
Enter your order number and the email you bought with. The licence activates on one computer.
Windows will show a blue warning screen. This is expected.
Segmented Bowl Designer is made by one person, not a large software company, so Windows SmartScreen does not recognise it yet. The first time you run the installer you will see “Windows protected your PC”.
Click More info, then Run anyway. That is all there is to it.
The warning is about the app being new and unrecognised — not about anything being wrong with the file. It goes away as more woodturners download it.
