Glued butt joints or finger joints
Acrylic boxes with glued butt joints on all sides, or choose finger joints and tabs. The system calculates each sheet's size from the real thickness so the parts fit together properly.
Acrylic box
Design acrylic boxes and cases as laser-cut files
Prakobd designs clear acrylic boxes, display cabinets, donation boxes, suggestion boxes and model display cases with bases on the web. Choose from 23 examples in the acrylic cabinet category, enter the size and the measured acrylic thickness, and you get a 3D design and layered SVG and DXF files with kerf already built into the lines. Single-sheet folded work has fold lines on the BEND layer. Designing is free; you pay credits when you download the production file pack
What do I get?
Folded from a single sheet
A house-shaped donation box, a fold-up model display case, a U-shaped stepped display stand, and a document holder, all bent from a single sheet. Fold lines are on the BEND layer and are not cut; the fold angles are in the cut list.
Coin slot, back cover and cut-outs
Add a bill or card slot to the lid. The donation box has a rear door that opens on hinges with a lock, and you can cut holes, slots or a logo from an SVG file into the panels
Files that match the laser cutter
Layered SVG and DXF (CUT, SCORE, BEND) that open in LightBurn or RDWorks. Kerf is already built into the lines, so there is no need to compensate again on the machine, and a fit test kit lets you test-cut first.
Workflow
- Choose an example or a template
Choose a close example such as a clear 6-sided acrylic box, a donation box or a 3-tier display case, or start from the closed box, open-front box or folded acrylic box templates.
- Enter the real dimensions and thickness
Enter the width, depth, height, the acrylic thickness measured with calipers, and the laser's kerf in the material step
- Add shelves, coin slots and cut-outs
Click an opening in the 3D view to add shelves or partitions, and add a coin slot, holes or a pattern from an SVG file.
- Download files to cut
Review the cautions and the nesting, then download the production pack or per-sheet files and open them in the laser machine's software
Production file cost from real examples
Designing, viewing in 3D and viewing the nesting are free. You pay credits when you download the production file pack (ZIP), which is charged by the number of sheets and parts in the job.

- Bent acrylic or free-form acrylic work is best drawn yourself in a drawing program or CAD.
Frequently asked questions
What does the production file cost for Acrylic box?
Design for free. You pay credits when you download the production file pack (ZIP), charged by the number of sheets and parts in the job. Example: clear acrylic 6-sided box 59 credits (≈ 118 THB) · Acrylic donation box, square 62 credits (≈ 124 THB) · Clear acrylic display case, 4 tiers, 1 m high 64 credits (≈ 128 THB)
Do I need to compensate for kerf on a laser cutter?
No. Prakobd already allows for kerf in the lines. Set the beam's kerf in the material step, then let the machine cut on the line without compensating again
How do I use BEND fold lines?
It is a fold position marker, not a cut line. Switch this layer off so the machine does not cut it, then fold on an acrylic bending machine to the angles in the cut list.
Can it make a donation box with a coin slot and an openable back panel?
Yes. There is an example 30 × 30 × 40 cm acrylic donation box with a bill slot in the lid and a rear door that opens on hinges with a lock; size and thickness can be changed. The house-shaped donation box is folded from a single sheet
I don't have a laser cutter. Can I order the cutting?
Yes. Send the production file pack or the .prakobd file to Nat Design Tak (natdesigntak.com) or a laser shop near you, because the files are standard SVG and DXF
