In most cases a very basic G-Code Post Processor will work. Your CAM software most likely has a post processor titled “G-Code”. If you do, try it. Make sure you choose the one that is not an arcs processor.
(box dimensions must be entered each time you run this file)

Our software can be downloaded for free. It can be used to make a cardboard box with 4 flaps top and bottom, just like the ones used for most shipping purposes. The software is available in g-code and shopbot code versions.
These tools will allow you to simply enter the dimensions of the finished box and specify the boxes orientation on your table. Some function as a file that can be run directly from your machines operating software and some will generate a file for cutting that specified box.
Make a cardboard box with ease using a Donek Drag Knife. With this free software, all you need to know are the dimensions of the cardboard box you want to make. Enter the dimensions in the software and it will create the file to cut the box you need. You can cut the same box over and over or create new cardboard box files for any item you sell.
Our D2 or D4 Drag Knife is the right choice if you want to make a cardboard box. They can cut materials up to 1/4in thick and use a standard utility knife blade, minimizing the cost of blades. Make a cardboard box, cut leather, cut gasket material, cut pre-preg carbon fiber laminates, and more. If you can cut it with a utility knife, you can cut it faster and more accurately with a Donek Tools Drag Knife.
Post the created contours with your default post processor. Afterwards, open the file with DragKnife to convert it into a specialized g-code for drag knives. After inspecting the outputted g-code, you are ready to use a drag knife on your CNC. For inspection, we recommend NC Viewer which can be also downloaded here in the app store.
