I hope this message finds you well.
My name is Roberto Osuna, and I am reaching out to you seeking advice on finding an efficient software solution for arranging and stacking irregular-shaped aluminum profiles in our company.
Currently, we face the challenge of handling aluminum profiles with irregular shapes.
The arrangement work is done manually using SketchUp, which, while effective, consumes a significant amount of time and resembles solving a Tetris puzzle.
In this regard, we are in search of a technological solution that not only streamlines the process but also optimizes space and enhances the efficiency of our internal processes.
We would like to inquire if you know any specialized software for managing profiles with irregular shapes, or if you could recommend a solution that has proven successful for other companies with similar needs.
Hi Roberto,
Thanks for sharing your experience — it sounds like a very relatable challenge for industries dealing with irregular-shaped materials. SketchUp is indeed powerful, but not always optimized for fast, automated volume stacking or layout planning.
If you're exploring alternatives to Cube Master or looking for more flexible, geometry-aware solutions, you might want to look into some community tools and resources built around modular design, block stacking, and space optimization — especially those tailored for 3D packaging or game-style logic systems.
Additionally, I recently came across a Minecraft-focused platform where similar spatial logic problems are explored in a more gamified environment, which might inspire alternative ways of thinking about optimization — particularly for custom-shaped layouts.

Of course, it’s not industrial software, but the logic behind it could spark new ideas or prototype approaches when dealing with irregular objects in confined spaces.
Hope that helps, and I’m also curious to see what other professionals recommend here!
