When you describe something made of several flat panels, such as an organizer with drawers, a shelf, a lantern shaped like a house or a phone stand, DIYCutLab designs it for you. It does not look for a matching template.
How it works
- Your idea becomes a plan. The assistant breaks the object into bodies, dividers, shelves, drawers, lids, roofs, single panels, cut-outs and engraving, with named measurements such as width, depth, height and number of drawers. Sizes you did not give are marked as assumed.
- The engine builds every part. Wherever two panels meet, the engine cuts the joint: finger joints at corners, tabs through slots where a divider meets a wall, and halving slots where dividers cross. Parts never overlap, and each part is checked before you see it.
- The same geometry drives everything. The studio shows the parts laid flat and the assembled object in 3D. The parts list, the cutting files and the step-by-step instructions all come from the same plan.
Changing it
- Measurements: select the design and change Width, Height, Drawers or any other measurement. Everything that depends on it is recomputed instantly, with no AI call.
- Talk to it: ask the AI assistant things like "make it 240 mm wide", "add another drawer", "add a lid" or "remove the small holes". The change is checked before it is applied. You see the result and can undo it.
What it cannot do yet
- Hinges, latches, magnets and other moving hardware. You get a lift-off lid instead.
- Bent or curved walls, and walls at angles other than 90°, such as hexagonal boxes. Round holes and arched tops are fine.
- 3D-printed solids, load-bearing furniture and certified replacement parts.
When a request cannot be made, the assistant says so and suggests the nearest thing it can make.
