A 2.5-dimensional computer model is created using a Computer Aided Design (CAD) package in computer 40 using a photograph and depth information, and the model is then input to a Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) package stored and run on a second computer 42 which may be part of, or may be configured to communicate with, an automated cutting machine 44. The CAM package derives the most efficient cutter path for cutting out a pocket in a kitting foam blank in accordance with the 2.5-dimensional computer model, the kitting foam incorporating pockets to receive tools in a toolbox. The pocket has a varying depth profile conforming to the varying depth profile of the three dimensional shape of the computer model. Because the three dimensional shape of the pocket to be formed in the kitting foam is provided to the CAM package before any cutting is performed, the CAM package typically derives a single, continuous three dimensional cutter path which can be followed to form the pocket.
