Box Design Tools, reimagined for makers, pros, and perfectionists.
Get Started with Just a Few
Easy Steps
From first project to first cut file, GCrafter keeps the process simple.
2
Set the Basics
Dial in your dimensions, material thickness, units, and core layout. Need to remove a top for a drawer? Easy. Want metric or imperial? Flip back and forth without drama.
3
Start with a Box. Then Make It Yours.
This is where things get interesting. Adjust finger sizes, reposition parts, add overhangs, change dimensions, or reshape the whole design into something completely custom. Start simple, then go a little mad scientist if you want.
4
Export and Get to Cutting.
GCrafter lays out your parts efficiently on a sheet sized for your machine or material. Tweak layout and output settings, then export as SVG or DXF for your CAM workflow in tools like Vectric, Carveco, Easel, or LightBurn.
5
Use PartLab to Go Beyond the Box
PartLab lets you treat box parts as a starting point, not a limitation. Replace panels, add features, cut things away, or transform the design into something entirely different. Because let’s be honest — you didn’t buy your machine just to make boxes.
Most CAD tools can technically handle box-jointed design.
GCrafter was built for it.
In traditional CAD, a small change can turn into a chain reaction: reworking joints, adjusting dogbones, checking clearances, and hoping everything still cuts cleanly and fits together. That’s fine once. It gets old fast.
GCrafter removes that friction by building box-jointed design into the core workflow. Change the size, and the design updates with it. No hours of cleanup. No rebuilding from scratch. No crossing your fingers at the machine.
Start with a simple box, then keep going — into custom projects, refined ideas, and designs that would be painfully slow to build by hand.
Produce in Sheets.
Design in 3D. Cut in 2D. Build for real.
Most tools start flat and hope to become 3D. GCrafter works the other way around.
You shape your project in 3D first, where it’s easier to understand the full assembly. Then, when it’s time to make it, GCrafter automatically turns that design into clean 2D parts ready for CNC, laser cutting, or shop workflows.
That means less mental gymnastics, fewer chances for mistakes, and a much smoother path from idea to finished build.
Stop making signs. Start making stuff.
Owning a CNC or laser should open the door to real assemblies, not limit you to flat projects. GCrafter helps bridge the gap between 3D ideas and 2D production by handling the hard part: turning assemblies into accurate parts with proper joinery.
Joinery that’s built in, not bolted on.
GCrafter is built around box and finger joints from the start. When dimensions change, joints update with them. Parts stay aligned, fit stays consistent, and you spend less time fixing geometry.
From screen to shop, without the headache.
Export production-ready 2D profiles for CNC, laser, or shop-based workflows. Layouts are organized, cut-ready, and easier to trust when it’s time to make parts for real.
Grow your capability, one project at a time.
GCrafter isn’t trying to be every kind of CAD tool — and that’s the point. It helps you move from simple boxes to more capable assemblies, faster, with less friction and a much shorter learning curve.
Explore the Features
Everything in GCrafter is built to make the jump from 3D design to 2D production faster, clearer, and less frustrating.
Create a box—your way.
Adjust the dimensions. Toggle parts on or off. Don’t need a front? Prefer it open in the back? Just disable those panels and build exactly what you need.
Finger Sizing
Finger/box joints can be a pain, but GCrafter makes them a joy—really. Instead of locking you into one-size-fits-all fingers like most tools do, you get to tweak them independently for width, height, and length. You can even make them zero to create dados rather than finger joints. It’s like giving your box a custom manicure.
Part Positioning
Want to break out of the boring box? GCrafter lets you nudge, slide, and shift parts like the bottom, back, or sides so your design stands out. Move the bottom up, pull the back in, slide the sides forward—your box, your rules, your signature look.
Pockets
Because you can move all the parts of your box independently (up, down, left, right, forward, and backwards) you can create shallow areas where the fingers settle inside, rather than poking through. It's the small details that add up to something way out of the oridiary.
Material Size
No matter your machine—2x4, 4x4, 4x8, or even a beastly 5x10—GCrafter's got your back. It automatically lays out your parts to fit the sheet size you’ve got, so you can focus on cutting wood, not corners.
Material Preview
Preview mode, but make it classy—GCrafter lets you swap in materials like carbon fiber, baltic birch, walnut, or cherry so you (and your client) can get a polished look before a single chip flies. Generate a visual, send it off, and bask in the praise. No one needs to know it took you five clicks
Machine Settings
Whether you’re using a CNC router, laser cutter or old schooling with a table saw and a router, GCrafter speaks your language. Flip on dogbones for snug CNC fits, dial in beam tolerance for crispy laser cuts ajust kerf with for your favorite table saw blade—it’s all built in. Got different machines for different parts? No problem. Mix, match, and output each one with the settings it needs.
Smart, Packed, Layouts
Why waste space? Our Multipacker is a box-packing genius—it squeezes the rectangles from your project onto sheets like Tetris on caffeine, leaving you with less scrap, more savings, and zero headache.
PartLab (beta)
Unleash your creativity by adding personalized cutouts—handles, squiggles, wild shapes—whatever you can dream up! Easily upload your own SVG artwork to transform it into unique cutouts or pockets, taking your designs far beyond the ordinary. Let your projects show off your one-of-a-kind style!
Add or Duplicate Parts
Who said a box has to stop at six sides? With GCrafter, you can toss that rule out the window. Add internal walls, exterior shells, extra supports, or dividers—whatever your project calls for. If you can dream it, you can duplicate it, remix it, and make it yours.
Edge Modification
Edges don’t have to be boring—and with GCrafter, they aren’t. You can stretch, shrink, extend, or tuck them to create lips, overhangs, or dividers that give your design function and flair. A little push here, a subtle pull there—and suddenly, it’s not just a box, it’s your signature.
Corner Radius
Corner radius... on a box? Absolutely. When you pair it with edge modifications, you’re suddenly sculpting instead of stacking. Add a curve here, smooth an edge there, and bam—your “box” becomes a bold, modern form that feels as good as it looks. It’s not just smooth—it’s slick.
Advanced Pockets & Joints
With the Pro plan you can take your jointery to the next level. Blind joints for a bottom drawer panel, inset joints for the edges. Mix and match with fingers and you can frankestein your way to a cubed masterpieces. Just pull the edges in a touch and GCrafter will set up all the pockets for you easy peasy.
Multi-Box Boxes
Why stop at just one box when you can go full inception? gCrafter lets you build boxes within boxes—drawers inside cases, compartments inside drawers, all perfectly aligned and ready to slide, snap, and satisfy. Visualize the full setup, test the fit, and bring your storage dreams to life like a nesting-doll wizard with a CNC.
Custom Part Sizing and Finger Sizing
Why stick to ordinary when you can go wild? Mix things up by customizing the width and height of any part—break free from standard sizes and invent something unique! Want even more edge? Adjust the number and style of finger joints for just this one part, giving your creation a totally distinct personality. It’s your design—think outside the box and let your imagination run the show!
Part Rotation (beta)
Because apparently doing finger/
Rotating box joints: who does that?
Answer: you do now. And honestly, we respect the chaos.
Slots & Dividers for Assembly
Assembly headaches? Not on GCrafter's watch. When two parts threaten to collide mid-build, slots come to the rescue—extending finger joints just enough to make everything slide into place like it was meant to. It's the little detail that makes the big difference between almost works and clicks together perfectly
Thickness By Part
Different parts, different thicknesses, no problem. GCrafter lets you mix materials like a pro—6mm back, 18mm bottom, 12mm front? Go wild. CAD makes that a headache; we make it a checkbox.
Animated Openings (beta)
Bring your designs to life! Rotate individual parts or group elements for coordinated movement. Create complex structures beyond simple boxes—then watch them open, transform, and move with fluid animation.
