MakerCase can also generate open and closed boxes. MakerCase lets users create boxes with flat edges or interlocking edges using finger joints. The user enters the desired box dimensions and material thickness, and MakerCase automatically generates a three-dimensional model of the box that can be freely rotated. MakerCase runs in a web browser and automatically generates a blueprint for cutting based on user specifications. MakerCase is a web-based application for designing boxes or project cases for laser cutters and CNC routers. These resources allow you to quickly get the basic box you need then customize the box with additional features or engravings. Boxes are a great example of a project where online generators come in very handy. While it is not difficult to design a simple box using a CAD software package or even a design software package such as Adobe Illustrator, the task can quickly become time-consuming when you start adding finger joints, hinged tops, internal dividers, or other features. Boxes continue to be useful and practical projects for all levels of makers. Laser cut boxes are a great project for a maker who has mastered the basics of laser of cutting and engraving and wants to create something more complicated.

Specify desired values in the parameters box and then click on the 'Update' button. The implementation is inspired by the subtractive process that Michal Zalewski's describes in part six of his excellent Guerrilla guide to CNC machining, mold making, and resin casting.

The generated SVG drawing can be downloaded and imported in CAD applications or opened in the open source SVG editor Inkscape to export as dxf or other formats. The page runs in modern browsers with SVG support (if in doubt, use Chrome). For additional information please head over to my blog post. As an improvement over the majority of other freely available scripts and utilities it fully accounts for undercuts.
