Having used the LC Interlocking bench a lot, I would suggest building your model up, then selecting all of the parts you wish to include in the slot function, add all of the parts at one time, set the material thickness and laser kerf, then, as you select faces set the number of tabs as you go. That will make a far more efficient work cycle. I can go from start to export on a custom 9x12x6 inch box in about a halfhour.

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.

I didn't know about the Laser cutting workbench. Right up my alley. Thanks!

[@Adventuresincreation]

It is a great workbench. I have made so many boxes that way.

What about steel or brass ,, it will work ?

[@Adventuresincreation]

Do you mean making it from steel or brass? I am sure you could but might want to secure it in a different way.

[@noanyobiseniss7462]

OK, this just looks way too much work!

[@Adventuresincreation]

It's actually not that bad once you get the process down

[@tiger12506]

Less work than modeling those tabs by hand.

@@Adventuresincreation I think I'll wait for a tool that will do boxes with a single click.

​The LC Interlocking WB has a box generator tool included. Also, if you select all the parts and add them to the project at once it's an easier workflow.
