Cut the box exactly the size you need.

Laserworks Box Creations is a catalogue of parametric generators for laser cutters. Choose a box type, type in your measurements in millimetres, centimetres or inches, and the generator works out every panel — joints, kerf compensation, lid mechanism and all. Then download the cutting plan as SVG, PDF, DXF or AI at 1:1.

How it works

From measurement to cut file in four steps

1

Enter your size

Type width, depth and height in mm, cm or inches. Everything is calculated in millimetres, so the file is true scale.

2

Set the material

Pick your sheet thickness from 1.5 to 12 mm, enter your laser's kerf, and choose finger joints or glued edges.

3

Check the preview

Spin the 3D model, open the lid, tap a piece to give it a different wood, and check the flat cutting plan.

4

Download and cut

SVG, PDF, DXF or AI at 1:1 with every slot kerf-compensated and each piece labelled.

📐

Real measurements, real fit

Tabs and slots are compensated for your kerf and given a 0.12 mm assembly clearance, so parts drop together instead of hammering.

🎛️

Parametric, not a template

Change one number and every dependent panel, joint and lid recalculates — including the lid mechanism and the divider slots.

🧩

Joints that hold

Finger joints interlock with no glue; flat edges stay straight for gluing; every box is built on a slotted base plate and a matching lid.

🪵

Per-piece materials

Preview each panel in MDF, cherry, pine, bamboo, walnut, birch, kraft card or acrylic before you commit a sheet.

📄

Four file formats

Red CUT hairline SVGs for LightBurn, PDF for printing, DXF R12 for CAD, EPS-based AI for Illustrator — all at 1:1 in mm.

Questions makers ask first

Which measurements should I use — outside or inside?
Use outside measurements when the box has to fit into a fixed space, such as a shelf or a drawer. Use inside measurements when something specific has to fit inside, such as a deck of cards or a bottle. BoxForge lets you switch between the two.
What about my laser's kerf?
Enter the kerf you measured on your own machine (typically 0.08–0.15 mm on a diode laser, a little more on CO₂). The generator shrinks every hole and grows every tab by half the kerf, so the assembled size stays true. If your first test box feels tight, raise the kerf in small steps.
Will the parts fit my machine's bed?
Each generator shows the size of the packed cutting plan under the download button, so you can see before you export. Every panel is also exported separately, so you can rearrange them in LightBurn if the plan is bigger than your bed.
Do I need glue?
Finger joints lock together mechanically — the box holds without glue, though a dab in the corners makes it permanent. Flat-edge boxes are designed to be glued.
Are the files free to sell from?
Yes — the cutting plans you generate are yours to cut, sell and give away. Alter them however you like.
