Box Designer
Create parametric wooden boxes with precise finger joints. Optionally add dividers that are distributed evenly by default or can be positioned freely. Optionally enclosed: the side walls wrap around front and back, bottom and top sit in closed wall slots — the outer edges stay smooth. Perfect for CNC routers and laser cutters.
Joint Style
Classic finger joints on all edges — for gluing.
Box Dimensions
Dimensions including finger joints (total part size)
Outer width of the box
Outer height of the box
Outer depth of the box
Material
Material thickness (e.g. plywood, MDF)
Gap between parts in the layout
Laser cut compensation (0 = none)
Fingerjoints
Target width per finger (adjusted automatically)
Minimum fingers per edge
Separators
Evenly spaced separators
Separators along width (parallel to front/back)
Separators along depth (parallel to left/right)
Layout
Space-saving layout instead of cross pattern
Precise Finger Joints
Automatic calculation of the optimal finger layout with kerf compensation for perfectly fitting joints. Corners are fully closed all the way around. Or choose the enclosed build with smooth outer edges and optional rounded corners.
Dividers & Compartments
Add dividers in the X and Y direction — spaced evenly automatically or positioned manually. Cross-lap joints wherever dividers intersect.
Instant Export
Export as SVG, DXF, PDF, STEP or STL, ready for your CAM software. All panels and dividers come pre-arranged in an optimized flat pattern.
Usage Tips
- Material thickness: 3-6mm plywood is ideal for small boxes, 10-15mm for larger builds
- Finger width: Rule of thumb: 2-3× material thickness for optimal stability
- Dividers: In auto mode, dividers are spaced evenly. In manual mode, they can be positioned freely. Intersecting dividers automatically receive half-depth cross-lap slots.
- Kerf: Typical values: laser 0.1-0.2mm, CNC end mills 1-3mm (depending on bit diameter)
