About the HexBox generator
HexBox is a six sided box with slotted base and lid plates. Six identical walls mean the box assembles quickly, and the flat sides are perfect for engraving or adding a label plate.
What you can adjust
Outside or inside measurements, so the box fits the space — or the contents.
Material thickness from presets or a custom value, plus your machine's kerf.
Finger joints or flat, glued edges, with a target tooth width you can change.
A 3D preview you can spin, and a flat cutting plan with every panel named.
How it goes together
The walls slot into the base and lid, and the corners are glued. Because the corners are 120°, the segments line up easily and stay square while the glue dries.
Tips for a clean cut
Hex boxes are the least wasteful of the polygonal boxes: six walls plus two plates cut from a narrow strip of sheet.
Frequently asked questions
Can I work in inches or centimeters?
Yes. Switch between mm, cm and inches at the top of the panel. Material thickness and kerf are always entered in millimeters.
Which file formats can I download?
SVG, PDF and DXF — all at 1:1 scale, in millimeters. AI files read the SVG or DXF straight into Illustrator.
What does the “Try other dimensions” button do?
It fills in a different set of measurements so you can see how the design changes before you enter your own.
