Packaging Industry

Design packaging systems that evolve with the product, process, and customer

From compact packing stations to complete packaging lines. With IronCAD, you can develop machines, frames, dispensers, feeding systems, and workstations in a single flexible 3D environment.

Work with reusable modules, quickly adapt to customer variations, and transfer your design directly to drawings and production.

R

Free trial – No obligations

No two packaging solutions are the same

Product sizes, materials, and processes vary by customer. With IronCAD, you can quickly adapt existing designs without having to start from scratch.

Designs

Complete packaging solutions in 3D.

Configure

Quickly adjust modules and dimensions.

Produce

Create drawings and bills of materials from the same model.

Design More Than Just the Packaging

A packaging solution often consists of multiple components surrounding the product.

With IronCAD, for example, you can design:

  • workstations
  • dispensers
  • roller conveyors
  • machine frames
  • material holders

Reuse Existing Components

Reuse standard components and previous designs for new client projects.
This allows you to create variations more quickly and eliminates the need to build every project from scratch.

From 3D Model to Production

Use the same model for:

  • working drawings
  • assemblies
  • bill of materials
  • production documentation

Why IronCAD?

  • quickly adapt
  • Reuse parts
  • combine custom work with standard parts
  • Go directly to production
