Face Frame vs Frameless Cabinets

CabinetCNCPro cabinet design and production workflow

Both systems can produce excellent cabinets, but they drive different front, opening and production rules.

Frameless

The cabinet box is the finished structural opening and fronts mount directly to the case.

Face frame

Stiles and rails create a separate front structure and can change usable openings and front relationships.

Automation boundary

A software package should clearly distinguish fully automated frame layouts from simple outer-frame generation.

Shop rule: verify dimensions, material, tooling, work zero, hold-down and the first machine program before committing a full job to material.

Where CabinetCNCPro fits

CabinetCNCPro keeps the measured design, production review and customer presentation connected. The production engine remains authoritative for parts and CNC; photoreal AI images are presentation-only.
