iMapper + Mozaik: Native DES Room Files for Cabinet Makers
Native DES export from measured site data, so cabinet runs fit the real room with ±2mm precision and 10 portrait reference photos.
Native DES • ±2mm precision • 10 portrait photos
Import menu path:
Open the .des file directly in Mozaik (native Mozaik format). DXF is also supported for reference geometry.

iMapper integrates natively with Mozaik to give custom cabinet shops, closet designers, and casework manufacturers millimeter-accurate room measurements ready for cabinet design and CNC production. Using iMapper's laser scanner (±2mm precision), you capture complete room geometry (walls, windows, doors, and irregular surfaces) in under 3 minutes per room. The iMapper platform exports DES files, Mozaik's native room format, so room geometry opens directly in Mozaik with no conversion step, no plugin, and no tracing over a reference underlay. DXF is also available as a secondary export for any workflow that prefers generic CAD reference geometry. Unlike tape measures, iMapper eliminates measurement errors and manual transcription, delivering design-ready room data that drives downstream manufacturing with confidence. Every measurement includes 10 portrait reference photos for verifying outlet positions, pipe locations, and obstruction clearances from your desk rather than from a return visit to site.

Benefits

±2mm Measurement Accuracy

iMapper's laser captures 1,200+ points per minute with ±2mm precision. Cabinet runs fit the first time, with no costly rework, material waste, or callbacks caused by mismeasured walls.

Native DES Room File

iMapper exports directly to DES, Mozaik's native room format. Open the file in Mozaik and start designing immediately. No plugin, no conversion, and no tracing over a reference underlay. DXF is also available when you need a generic CAD export.

10 Portrait Reference Photos for Every Detail

Outlet positions, pipe runs, beam clearances, existing obstructions. Verify every detail from 10 portrait reference photos on the iMapper platform without returning to site.

Workflow steps

Step 1: Capture site data with iMapper

Place iMapper in the center of the room and press the button once. The scanner completes its pass in 2 to 3 minutes and captures ±2mm measurements alongside 10 portrait reference photos at each scan position.

Step 2: Upload to iMapper Platform

Transfer the scan via USB or automatically upload through the iMapper Connect app to platform.imapper.tech. Multiple scans from the same project auto-stitch into a single floor plan.

Step 3: Export to DES

Draw the room Area on the iMapper platform using magnetized snap points, then click Export and select DES. The file contains Mozaik's native room geometry, ready to open directly in Mozaik. DXF is also available when you need a generic CAD export.

Step 4: Open in Mozaik

Open the .des file directly in Mozaik. Because DES is Mozaik's native room format, the scanned room geometry loads immediately with walls, dimensions, and angles in place. No plugin, no import wizard, no tracing.

Step 5: Start your cabinet design

The room arrives as native Mozaik geometry. Place cabinet runs, closets, and casework on real wall positions rather than sketched measurements. Downstream pricing, cut lists, shop drawings, and CNC G-code reflect the room as it actually is.

Step 6: Verify with photo cross-reference

Need to check an outlet position, a pipe clearance, or a beam before finalizing a run? Cross-reference the 10 portrait reference photos captured during scanning. No site revisit needed.

DES export covers one room at a time. For multi-room projects, each area is exported and opened separately in Mozaik. iMapper creates 2D horizontal sections, not full 3D mesh models. Open-plan spaces larger than 30m may require multiple scan positions. Split levels, mezzanines, and sloped ceilings are not captured in a single pass.

Use cases

Kitchen Cabinet Design

Capture existing kitchen dimensions for accurate cabinet layout, appliance placement, and countertop planning before a single cut is made.

Custom Closet Design

Precise closet and wardrobe geometry for built-in cabinet fitting, especially in odd-shaped or non-square rooms where tape measures routinely miss.

Commercial Casework

Accurate room dimensions for office, hospitality, and retail casework. Reduce on-site fitting issues and manufacturing waste on larger projects.

Custom Furniture Manufacturing

Documented as-built conditions for built-ins, wall units, and bespoke furniture. Mozaik turns the scan into parts, cut lists, and CNC G-code without remeasuring by hand.
