Boxes.py is a Python library and collection of parametric generators that produce SVG (and other vector) files for laser-cut boxes and related objects. It also ships as a web-based box generator and an Inkscape plug-in.

Use cases

• generate laser cutter files for a parametric box
• create finger joint box SVG plans
• design living hinge flex boxes for laser cutting
• generate DXF or GCode cutting files from Python
• build custom parametric laser cut enclosures
• use a box generator inside Inkscape

When to choose

• you need parametric, material-thickness-aware laser cut designs
• you want to script or programmatically generate cutting files
• you want a ready-made web or Inkscape box generator

When to avoid

• you need 3D modeling or STL output rather than 2D cutting plans
• you need CAM toolpathing for CNC milling rather than laser cutting
• you need a GUI CAD application
