2D Design

Connection - Base module that allows designs to be located, opened, examined, measured and output.

Designer - Create new and unique designs with flexible and easy to use tools that are optimized to create the geometry needed for packaging with the minimum mouse movements and keystrokes.

Builder - Create designs in seconds using the extensive library of folding carton and corrugated styles provided with ArtiosCAD.

ArtMaker - Adds value from conceptual design through production tooling by fully integrating graphics into ArtiosCAD. Vectorize edges in any graphic to produce an outline around elements in the image.

StyleMaker - Create reusable, parametric designs using any of ArtiosCAD’s drafting tools.

3D Design

ArtiosCAD 3D - Quickly fold designs for viewing, quality control and assembly details. In addition to viewing 3D models of cartons and boxes created in ArtiosCAD, it is also very helpful to view sample products with their packaging.

3D Designer - Create 3D models of products such as cans, bottles, glasses and bags. Define cross section for the shape of the 3D product or modify to create a model that varies in shape.

3D Animation - Animation steps can be recorded as the design is folded or assembled to create 3D views with animations quickly.

Interoperatability

3D Importer - Import 3D solid models from other 3D modeling programs directly into ArtiosCAD 3D.

SolidWorks Import/Export - Import native SolidWorks file to ArtiosCAD to create packaging based on the imported product, part or assembly. Export the final design as a SolidWorks file.

ArtiosCAD ARD Import and Export - Seamless communication between structural and graphic designers directly within Adobe Illustrator.

PDF Import/Export - Import native PDF file support to ArtiosCAD using PDF libraries licensed from Adobe Systems. Export 2D and 3D PDF files of final designs with graphics or auto-generated reports.

Manufacturing

Intelligent Layout - Automatically calculate sheet layouts that have minimum production costs.

DieMaker - Quickly create quality dieboards and coating blankets from a sheet layout.

Rubber Design and Layout - Automatic solution for generating ejection rubber profiles for a cutting die with an automatic layout feature that optimizes the cutting layout using a powerful nesting tool that balances sheet usage with element grouping.

Intelligent Counters - Create a complete design of individual counter plates automatically.

Stripping module - Quickly design top and bottom stripping sets as well as the front waste separator.

Rotary DieMaker - Extends the capabilities of the DieMaker module to provide a comprehensive solution for designing rotary tooling.

Database

Information Enhancement - Turn the ArtiosCAD environment into an information management tool by adding an unlimited number of user-defined fields which can be manually entered or be automatically calculated based on the geometry of the design.

ReportMaker - Design many types of report templates that can be automatically run by any user.
