Cabinet Builder

Parametric cabinet design that exports straight to the CNC.

  • DXF export with semantic layer naming
  • 32mm European standard joinery
  • Per-thickness file splitting
  • 10 door styles auto-generated
  • Real-time cut list

Cabinet Builder takes a shop from "what does the client want?" to "what do we cut?" in one tool. Designers log in, create projects, then configure roughly 35 parametric dimensions per cabinet — height, width, depth, material thickness, door count, shelf layout, hinge style — and watch a 2D preview update live alongside the running cut list.

When the cabinet's right, one click exports DXF files with each operation on its own named layer: Profile_Cut, Dado, Rabbet, Hinge_Bore, Shelf_Pins, Drill, Label. The shop opens the file in their CAM software of choice — Vectric Aspire, VCarve, or any DXF-aware tool — assigns toolpaths per layer, and the CNC runs the job. Files are computed live on every export so any improvement to the computation engine immediately benefits past designs.

Multi-thickness panels (18mm cases vs. 6mm backs) are auto-split into separate files so the operator doesn't have to swap stock mid-job. Ten door styles are built in — slab, shaker, raised panel, glass insert, and more — with rail-and-stile geometry generated procedurally. Role-based access keeps designers, project managers, and admins on the same data without stepping on each other.
