About this app

BoxGen is an all-in-one mobile CAD tool built specifically for makers, engineers, designers, and anyone working with CO2 or diode laser cutters, CNC routers, or 3D printers. Forget tedious manual vector drafting or tab-and-slot calculations in heavy desktop software. Design parametric boxes, enclosures, organizers, and custom nameplates to your exact dimensions right on your smartphone screen! BoxGen automatically handles all complex geometry and mathematics, generating production-ready blueprints in seconds.

Whether you need a hardware bin, a workshop drawer organizer, an electronic enclosure, a multi-tier rack, or a branded nameplate, BoxGen simplifies your workflow from a raw idea to a flawless finished product.

🚀 Key Features:
• Wide Range of Enclosures: Create open and closed boxes, hardware bins with slanted open fronts, multi-tier storage racks, custom workbench drawer organizers, and intricate grid dividers. Add inner divider matrices and custom cell arrays with a single toggle.

• Professional Nameplate Designer: A dedicated module for creating custom tags, labels, and control panels. Add text, adjust alignment, control decorative borders, and place mounting holes. Supports both vector scoring (outline paths) and full raster engraving (pocketing).

• Added the ability to create enclosures for loudspeakers and subwoofers. The module automatically calculates the volume and bass reflex port.

• Full Parametric Control: Complete control over your geometry. Adjust width, depth, height, material thickness (plywood, acrylic, MDF, metal, plastic), and interlocking finger joint sizes with millimeter precision.

• Interactive 3D & 2D Preview: Verify assembly before wasting material on physical cutting. Use the real-time solid 3D engine to inspect your design from all angles. Switch to the 2D layout to examine the flat vector blueprints of your components.

• Smart Auto-Nesting: Automatically optimize part placement on your sheet. Enter your stock material sheet dimensions and a technological gap—the algorithm efficiently nests the components to minimize waste and save your money.

• Production Costing & Estimating: A built-in economic assistant. The app analyzes generated geometry and calculates precise physical metrics: total linear cut length, vector scoring path, raster engraving area in cm², and pierce count (laser/plasma start points).

🛠 Engineered for Real-World Manufacturing
BoxGen is designed with the specifics of real shop equipment in mind and supports critical engineering options:

Inner vs. Outer Dimensions: Specify the exact internal volume required for your contents or restrict the outer bounding box to fit a specific slot.

Inset Bottoms & Clearances: Fine-tune drawer slides, inset offsets, and custom clearance tolerances for reliable friction-fit or glue-free assembly.

Stackable Designs: Program boxes with integrated locking mechanisms so they stack securely and stably on top of each other.

💾 Professional Export & Data Management
Save your blueprints in industry-standard industrial formats that open flawlessly in any machine software (LightBurn, LaserGRBL, RDWorks, AutoCAD, CorelDraw, or 3D printing slicers):

SVG: Clean, closed vector contours with color-coded operation layers (cutting, scoring). Perfect for lasers.

DXF: Universal vector format for CAD/CAM software and CNC router tooling paths.

STL: Watertight 3D models with zero garbage geometry for 3D printing or CAD assembly integration.

Reports: Export detailed commercial cost sheets in PDF, HTML, or JPEG formats.

Tariff Profiles: Set up custom material profiles (e.g., "4mm Plywood Laser", "2mm Steel Plasma"). Configure prices per linear meter, pierce, or engraving area. Export your entire rate database into a JSON file for backups or instant cross-device syncing.

Streamline your workshop, eliminate manual drafting errors, and save hours of prep time. Get BoxGen and turn your smartphone into a powerful pocket CAD workstation today!
