Free calculators for real shop questions
Small tools for real shop questions. Every one on this page runs entirely in your browser and needs no account - nothing you enter is sent anywhere. (A couple remember a UI preference like your last measuring method in this browser, the same way your theme choice does, but no project, dimension or photo ever leaves your machine.)
Free means free here: no sign-up wall, no trial clock, no saved data. The full Designer, the Cut List Optimizer and StackDesign are a different thing - they save your project to your account, which is why those ask you to sign in.
This page is the free list. The Modules button in the bar above opens the full CabDesign toolset, grouped as CabDesign base modules and Additional modules.
