FrameShop™ Design

Our user-friendly FrameShop™ software comes standard with every new Computerized Mat Cutter (CMC). This comprehensive software platform is the industry-leading solution for custom mat design and digital cutting, and is compatible with the latest Windows™ operating system. Our platform enables the functionality of your Wizard CMC to be continuously improved and extended through exciting new software features and tools designed to maximize its capabilities.

FrameShop™ makes it easier and more efficient than ever to design, visualize, and cut your creative projects. Plus, you’ll be ready to use our optional creative accessories: lettering and linework using the Pen Kit, subtle embellishments with the Debossing Kit, decorative cutting through our Vinyl Kit, or even creating your own corner protectors and custom boxes using the Box Kit.

FrameShop™ 7 Release

The newest version of FrameShop™ is now available to download! Wizard has made several improvements to the software that we’re very proud of, and it’s available for our CMC 8000, CMC 8000+, CMC Z, and CMC Z1 machines.

With FrameShop™ 7, you can easily install software version updates and navigate to browse your files just like other common folder systems. FrameShop™ now works better in connecting between different PCs as well, so you can spend more time on designing and cutting!

FrameShop™ 7 users can maintain the highest quality in cutting with enhanced ability to fine tune details and configurations. Plus, FrameShop™ Trace contains a vectorization button to import image files to use with the Pen or Deboss tools without any hassle.

FrameShop™ Visualize

Visualize is an optional add-on subscription module for FrameShop™ that enables you to envision your mat design ideas and show customers their virtually matted and framed artwork right from your sales counter. Easily save image file previews to send to your customers via email, or post framing mockups to social media to promote your business services.

Visualize is compatible with all Wizard CMCs, and can also work without an attached CMC as a standalone feature on a separate computer. Combine Visualize with one of our Camera Mount options, and you’ll have a complete solution for conceptualizing and presenting your design ideas — before even cutting a single piece of matboard.

 

Available Visualize Accessories:
• Countertop Camera Mount
• Ceiling Camera Mount
