A browser-based generator that turns box dimensions into laser/CNC cut files or a 3D-printable STL.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-19 issue.
For
Laser-cutting and 3D-printing hobbyists
Worth noticing
SVG and DXF exports use one closed polyline per panel at real-world millimetre scale; STL mode is explicitly not finger-jointed.

Field notes

Inputs include interior length, width and height, material thickness, kerf, lid style, and a laser/CNC or 3D-print mode. The page explains that exterior dimensions account for two wall thicknesses horizontally and one beneath the walls vertically. For laser/CNC output, it lays out five flat panels; SVG and DXF use closed polylines at real-world millimetre scale. STL output is described as a hollow box for FDM printing, without finger joints. The generator says geometry stays in the browser.
