I would really appreciate someone resurrecting this program. I cannot seem to find it anywhere. I remember using this Bill Young creation. Very useful!
The Boxmaker was written in 2002 and unfortunately a bunch of changes to Windows and the vrml library it used for the preview broke it quite a while ago. I've been slowly working on resurrecting it in javascript as a FabMo app, but it's a lot of work and I'm a very poor programmer.
Like most of the things I do though it started life as a parametric ShopBot file, with inputs for the various settings. If I can find that I'll get it posted, but it's been almost 15 years and multiple computers since then. Might even be on a floppy disk...no idea where to find a floppy drive these days!
I know the following link is for a laser box maker but I've used it with some modifications to create boxes on my Shopbots after pulling in the pdf into ArtCam Pro

I just used this to make two large horse feed boxes
