Create furniture with AI

Upload a photo of a real cabinet and the AI converts it into a cabinet that can be CNC cut

Got a cabinet photo your customer likes, a picture from the internet, or a hand sketch? Send it to the AI assistant to read, and get a 3D cabinet design where every part is editable and the CNC cut files can be exported for real. No need to start drawing from scratch.

  1. Photo of a real display cabinet: green frame, glass doors on the side bays, an open middle bay, and 4 wooden doors below
    real-cabinet.jpg

    Upload a photo of a real cabinet

    A cabinet photo, an example picture from the internet, a dimensioned draft or a sketch: just drag it in. Typing the sizes you want is optional

  2. 3D design of a 3-compartment display cabinet created from a photo, with the lower door highlighted
    3 columns · glass doors 2 · lower doors 4

    The AI converts it into a 3D cabinet

    The AI reads the proportions in the photo, splits columns and shelves, and adds doors, glass doors, drawers and clothes rails as seen. If you do not give sizes it estimates them from the photo

  3. Exploded view of a 3-bay display cabinet, highlighting the shelf sheets that can be moved and edited
    Width 1,600 mm · + add shelf

    Every part can be edited

    The AI tells you what it saw and what it assumed so you can check, then you can adjust sizes, move or add shelves, and change material, joints, doors and drawers just like a design you made yourself

  4. All flat parts of the display cabinet with grooves and drill holes, for CNC cutting

Frequently asked questions

01What is Prakobd and who is it for?

Prakobd is a web-based design program for built-in cabinets, boxes, shelves and stage floor frames, for CNC shops, laser shops, sign shops and built-in furniture shops. Set the dimensions and joints, then generate the production file pack in one system

02Does Prakobd offer assembly or furniture moving services?

No. Prakobd (prakobd.com) is software for designing cabinets and preparing cut files for CNC routers and laser cutters. It does not offer furniture assembly, disassembly or moving services. The name Prakobd comes from the program's goal: parts cut from the files must assemble correctly. Easy to design, precise to cut, good to assemble

03Do I need to install software?

Nothing to install. Prakobd runs in a web browser — open the designer and start right away. Install the Prakobd Link plugin only if you want to place jobs into Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW

04Can I design kitchen cabinets or wardrobes? What ready-made designs are there?

Yes. There are 42 ready-made examples in 7 categories: kitchen (base cabinets, under-sink cabinets, wall cabinets, tall cabinets), bedroom (wardrobes, chests of drawers, bedside cabinets), cabinet sets (7-door wardrobe, glass-door display cabinet, TV cabinet, large bookcase), shelves, shops and offices (work desks, multi-seat desk clusters, pinwheel L-shaped desks, wood or steel legs, dividers), boxes and trays, and stage work. Every design can be resized and its parts adjusted further

05What are Prakobd's highlights?

Prakobd's strength is the workflow from design to production prep. It has 22 templates and ready-made examples, 236 designs, 6 joint types, drawers, hinges, adjustable shelves, clothes rails, stage floor frames, nesting and G-code. Everything is done from entering sizes to getting cut files and site documents in one program.

06What materials are supported?

CNC jobs support plywood, MDF, HMR, finger-jointed rubberwood, finger-jointed pine and PVC foam board. Laser jobs support acrylic, PP board, foam board and paper. You can set the thickness, sheet size and bit yourself, and choose a surface color such as white, MDF, HMR or wood grain to show in the 3D view and print on the drawing

07Can I add drawers, doors, clothes rails or glass doors?

Yes. There are side ball-bearing drawers, 35 mm cup hinges, adjustable shelves on a 32 mm hole row, clothes rails in hanging compartments and clear acrylic doors. Click a compartment in the picture to add shelves, dividers, drawers or doors, then type a distance or drag the arrows to move it

08What kinds of CNC routers and laser cutters does it work with?

Prakobd exports layered SVG and DXF for use with CNC or laser cutting software, plus generic and LNC ATC G-code. Choose the post and set it to match your machine's controller before production

09Do I need extra CAM software?

Jobs using the supported generic or LNC ATC post can be nested and have G-code created in Prakobd. If your machine or production workflow needs specific settings, you can take the SVG or DXF and carry on in CAM software

10Do I need to compensate for the bit or kerf again in CAM software?

For Prakobd laser jobs, kerf is already allowed for in the lines. Set the machine to cut right on the line with no extra compensation. For CNC jobs, the lines in the file are the true part size: cut CUT-OUT outside the line and CUT-IN inside the line. Inside corners already have dog-bone or T-bone relief built into the shape

11Can it calculate how many sheets of wood I need?

Yes. The nesting page arranges parts on material sheets by real shape and wood grain direction. It tells you how many sheets you need and the percentage of area used, shows all sheets together, lets you zoom into one sheet at a time, and lets you download DXF, SVG or G-code one sheet at a time. A sheet the same size as the material sheet is drilled only, without edge trimming

12What files do I get, and what software opens them?

You get layered SVG/DXF with CUT-OUT, CUT-IN, POCKET, DRILL and SCORE layers, plus a 6-side PDF drawing with a 3D view, cut sheet layouts, a PDF/CSV cut list, a hardware list, QR labels, PDF assembly steps, G-code and an STL assembly model. There is also the Prakobd Link plugin for placing jobs in Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW

13How can I check the design before actually cutting?

The review and export step shows the design's cautions, such as thickness that does not match the material name, the nesting page showing parts larger than the material sheet, and the cut sheet drawings showing parts that need the sheet flipped to groove the other side. In the exploded 3D view you can hide sheets or switch on transparent mode to see inside, and download the fit test kit to test-cut before the real job

14Can I save a job and come back to edit it later?

Yes. Save the job in your account on the My jobs page, or download it as a .prakobd file to open and edit later or pass on. While designing you can undo and redo

15Can I create furniture with AI from a photo?

Yes. Upload a photo of a real cabinet, a reference photo you like, a draft with sizes, or a sketch. The AI assistant reads the image and draws the cabinet right away, dividing columns and shelves as in the picture and adding doors, glass doors, drawers, shelves and clothes rails as it sees them. If you don't give sizes, the AI estimates from the proportions in the picture. You can then edit every value and export cut files just like a design you made yourself. Typing a text description alone also works

16How does the AI designer charge?

The AI assistant uses credits at the price shown on the pricing page. Credits are deducted only when a design is returned. If the image cannot be read or the connection fails, no credits are deducted. Top up credits on the pricing page.

17How much can I try for free? Do I need to sign up first?

The designer is open to members. Sign up free with an e-mail or Google account, then design, save jobs, and view 3D and nesting for free. New members get welcome credits to try a PDF example. Downloading production files and using the plugin cost credits

18How do I use it after buying? Is there an annual plan?

Prakobd uses a credit top-up system, with no monthly or yearly fees. Design for free, then credits are deducted when you download files. A production file pack is priced by the number of material sheets in the job, with a cap per job. The download button always shows the price before you press it. Credits never expire. See current packs and prices on the pricing page

19How can I design a large stage floor?

The plug-in block template builds a single grid frame to the stage size; long panels are split into segments with puzzle joints, with brace pin holes at every crossing, and a panel layout plan PDF is exported for on-site assembly

20Can I choose inch units and lock the wood grain?

You can choose millimeters or inches and lock the wood grain direction while nesting. Documents are shown in the chosen unit, while machine files (SVG, DXF and G-code) use millimeters

21Can every job be designed and its files prepared within 1 minute?

The home page has a step demo you can try within 1 minute. Real working time depends on the complexity of the design, the number of parts and the machine settings. Check the design and the fit test kit before real production
