Publish CNC & Laser-Cut Box Designs and Showcase Your Craftsmanship!
We are thrilled to launch a new modeling contest focused on the art of box design for CNC machining and laser cutting! This is the perfect opportunity for makers, designers, and DIY enthusiasts to unleash their creativity and precision by crafting unique digital files for functional and decorative boxes made with CNC or laser.
The goal of this contest is simple: create ready-to-cut digital files (DXF, SVG, AI, or other vector formats) for boxes, cases, organizers, and storage solutions that can be made using CNC machines or laser cutters. Whether you're a seasoned designer or an aspiring creator, this challenge welcomes all skill levels. Take this opportunity to reimagine classic box designs or develop new concepts with intricate patterns, clever joinery, or modern aesthetics.
Here are some ideas to spark your creativity:
- Elegant jewelry boxes with secret compartments
- Flat-pack storage organizers that assemble without screws or glue
- Puzzle boxes with hidden mechanisms and clever locks
- Custom toolboxes for makers, artisans, or DIY lovers
- Intricate decorative cases with laser-engraved patterns
- Precision-cut watch or glasses cases
- Personalized gift boxes for special occasions
- Foldable or modular boxes that optimize material use
- Stackable storage solutions for organizing your workspace
- Retro-inspired or futuristic enclosures for electronics or keepsakes
- Etc.
Fire up your design software, test your joinery skills, and bring your box-making ideas to life. And most importantlyβdonβt keep your creativity locked away! THINK OUT OF THE BOX ;)
