Design a cabinet from scratch
Turn a width × height × depth into a complete, construction-accurate parts list in under a minute with the cabinet designer.
You don’t have to calculate carcass parts by hand. The cabinet designer takes a family and three outside dimensions and generates every side, bottom, top rail, back, shelf and front — sized for real cabinet construction.
Drag the slider · 9 parts generated from one carcass
Pick a family
Base, wall, tall and vanity cabinets each have their own proportions and part set. Base cabinets get a toe kick and top rails; wall cabinets get a full top and bottom; tall units add mid-rails. Choosing the family sets sensible defaults you can then tweak.

Send to cutlist
Review the parts list — each part with its size and quantity — then add it all to your project in one tap.
Drag the Explode slider to separate the parts in 3D. It’s the fastest way to confirm a back is grooved in, a shelf is set back, or a drawer box clears the face before you commit to cutting.
Why the sizes are trustworthy
Cabsmith’s carcass maths follow standard European and face-frame construction: shelves are set back from the front, backs span between the sides, and drawer boxes are sized to real slide clearances. The numbers that land in your cut list are the numbers you cut.
