Cabinet App

Build a cabinet from a sheet of plywood. The Cabinet Maker app designs your cabinet, see it in 3D, and lay every panel out on 48" x 48" sheets ready to carve.

Open the app

Click Apps in the toolbar and choose Cabinet Maker, or find it in the App Library under Featured.

Pick a cabinet

Choose a Cabinet Type. Wall cabinets come plain, as a blind corner, or as a 90° corner. Base cabinets come with doors, drawers, a drawer over a door, as a sink base, as a blind corner, or as a 90° corner.

Set the Width, Height and Depth, then choose how it goes together: butt joints or blind dados, an inset, dadoed or overlay back, a toekick, and adjustable shelves with shelf pin holes.

Doors, drawers and handles

On the Fronts tab, set the door swing and fit, and drill hinge cup holes. Fronts can be a flat panel, shaker or glass. Set the number of drawers and drill holes for the drawer slides. Add knobs or pulls, and the app drills their holes too.

Materials and finish

On the Material & Finish tab, pick a material and thickness for the box, the doors and drawer fronts, and the drawer boxes. Drawer boxes start on 1/2" stock. Each material nests onto its own sheets. The finish colors show in the preview.

Click Explode to pull the cabinet apart and see how each panel fits, or Wireframe to see through it.

Import and carve

Click Import Cabinet when the preview looks right. Each sheet becomes its own workpiece, with the panels, dados and holes already laid out for a 1/4" upcut bit.

To change a cabinet after importing it, select one of its panels and click Edit Cabinet. The app reopens on the same settings, and Update Cabinet replaces its sheets with the new design.
