AI design assistant

Designing an original box, organizer, shelf or house

How DIYCutLab composes a new multi-part object from your description, what it can and cannot build, and how to change it by talking to it or editing its measurements.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
