Design a Base Cabinet Without CAD
Configure your base cabinet in 3D, choose your doors, shelves and hinge settings, and generate the technical files you need to build it yourself.
Base Cabinet with Door
Technical drawing
Take the PDF to your workshop or use the DXF with your CNC workflow
From Dimensions to Build-Ready Drawings
Configure your cabinet in the 3D window above. Set the dimensions and construction details, choose your door and shelf configuration, and see the result in 3D as you work.
When your design is ready, generate a technical drawing and download the files you need to build it. No CAD experience required.
How It Works
1. Enter Your Dimensions
Set the width, depth and height of your cabinet to suit your project.
2. Configure Your Cabinet
Choose the cabinet construction, back configuration, doors, hinges and shelves to match the way you want to build it.
3. Check Your Design
Use the 3D view to inspect your cabinet and make adjustments before generating your files.
4. Generate Your Drawing
Create a detailed PDF technical drawing showing the dimensions and details of your cabinet.
5. Build It
Download the PDF for your workshop or the DXF for a compatible CNC workflow. Build the cabinet yourself or send the files to a suitable woodworking or CNC workshop.
Configure the Details That Matter
Cutcab gives you control over the dimensions and construction details that affect how your cabinet is built.
Cabinet Dimensions
Set the exact finished width, depth and height of your cabinet instead of being limited to a fixed size.
Cabinet Construction
Choose the cabinet body and backboard thickness and configure how the back is positioned.
Doors
Configure one or two doors and choose between overlay and inset doors. Set the door thickness and clearance to suit your build.
Hinges
Set the hinge direction and specify the hinge drilling dimensions used for your cabinet.
Shelves
Add the number of shelves you need and configure your cabinet for your intended use.
Base Cabinet Dimensions
Base cabinets can be designed to suit your available space, countertop, appliances and intended use. With Cutcab, you can specify the exact dimensions of your cabinet rather than adapting a fixed-size plan.
Whether you need a compact cabinet for a small space or a larger cabinet for a kitchen, workshop or other furniture project, you can configure the dimensions to suit your design.
Overlay or Inset Doors?
Cutcab lets you choose how your cabinet doors fit relative to the cabinet body.
Overlay Doors
The door sits over the front of the cabinet and covers the cabinet opening. Overlay construction is a common choice for frameless cabinets.
Inset Doors
The door sits inside the cabinet opening, creating a more flush appearance between the door and cabinet body.
Choose the door style that suits your project and configure the relevant dimensions directly in the cabinet designer.
Get the Files You Need to Build
Once your cabinet is configured, Cutcab can generate the digital files you need for fabrication.
PDF Technical Drawing
Use the dimensioned PDF as a reference when building the cabinet yourself, or provide it to a local carpenter, cabinetmaker or woodworking workshop.
DXF File
Download a DXF file for use in compatible CNC and CAM workflows.
No Manual CAD Work
You don't need to recreate the cabinet in a CAD program or manually calculate every dimension before you can start preparing your build.
Configure your cabinet, generate the drawing and get on with building it.
