Esko ArtiosCAD 22.03

ArtiosCAD is the world's most popular structural design software for packaging design. With dedicated tools specifically designed for packaging professionals for structural design, product development, virtual prototyping and manufacturing, ArtiosCAD increases productivity throughout your company. ArtiosCAD is the ideal packaging software for all corrugated, folding carton and POP, POS, FSDU display designers.

Design better quality packaging
With ArtiosCAD you don't need to be a math genius to create challenging designs. The software handles all the metrics for you. It builds a perfectly fitting package around any imported 3D CAD product model.
-This way you'll be able to focus solely on your creativity.
Reduce production costs
-ArtiosCAD saves hours of design work by turning custom designs into resizable design templates and adding them to your corporate library.
-A full integration of structural design and graphic design with production files also eliminates costly mistakes downstream in the workflow. Fold your design in 3D to check for inconsistencies before going to print.
Rebuildable Designs
Smart standards save design time and reduce errors. Intelligent, resizable design library of the US, ECMA, FEFCO and display standards make design decisions for you. A powerful rebuild design feature allows designs to be parametrically rebuilt with new geometric values.
Create production ready displays in minutes instead of hours
-ArtiosCAD has the tools to quickly design POP displays. Whether you're working in corrugated carton, in Re-board® or other rigid materials, ArtiosCAD makes it easy and straightforward to design eyecatching displays.
-Start from scratch, run one of many display standards or download a display from the ArtiosCAD Display Store. The store offers ArtiosCAD files optimized for cutting with a Kongsberg table. A mounting video is included with each design.
Integration with palletization software
-Drastically save time and money by aligning packaging design and shipping. Benefit from the software synergy between ArtiosCAD and Cape Pack palletizing software.
2D Packaging Design
-Create new and unique designs in seconds from scratch or by using the extensive library of folding carton and corrugated styles.
-Create reusable, parametric designs using simple drafting tools.
-Integrate graphic design files into the CAD design file.
-Vectorize edges in any graphic to produce an outline around elements in the image.
3D Design
-Powerful 3D design tools enable quick folding of the final folded design for even complex designs with curved creases.
-Control fold angles and mating of multiple design elements for quality control inspection of folds, tucks, flaps, inserts and fitments.
-Visualize the assembly and folding sequence of designs, create assembly instructions and assembly animation movies.
-Create 3D models of primary product such as cans, bottles, glasses and bags.
-Create exact fitting packaging around imported 3D models or 3D models created directly in ArtiosCAD.
Fastrack assembly instructions
-Create assembly instruction documents easily within ArtiosCAD, using dedicated tools to add annotations, symbols, labels, simple headers and footers
-Simplify your workflow - there's no need for additional software applications to create instructions
-Update and modify instructions effortlessly when faced with design changes
ArtiosCAD Preflight
-Faster design times
-Consistent design quality
-Quality control at the click of a button
-Improve die press throughput
Import / export seamlessly
-Import Collada, CATIA, ProE, STEP, SAT, IGES or SolidWorks 3D, Siemens NX or Parasolid 3D solid models from other 3D modeling programs directly into ArtiosCAD to directly create packaging based on the imported product, part or assembly.
-Export to native IGES,STEP,ACIS or XCGM 3D model format.
-Adobe Illustrator Import plug-in enables native ArtiosCAD ARD files to be imported into Illustrator maintaining the ArtiosCAD layers and information and provides dedicated tools to preserve CAD data within Adobe Illustrator.
-Adobe Illustrator Export plug-in will allow exporting graphic information directly to ArtiosCAD. This helps structural designers create CAD files that follow graphic outlines - particularly important for designers of displays and folding cartons, where the final package die cut must often follow specific graphic features.
