ArtiosCAD7.4 is out, and in this version they have a few new features.  First off is the “Mate” tool that allows you to simply assemble and visualize folds and parts, to test simple assemblies.  Also, they’ve added “Curved Creases” and “Bend” support to further improve the functionality of the product.

For 27 years, The BoxMaker Inc, Kent, WA (USA). has been a single-source packaging supplier of corrugated shipping containers, foam materials, point of purchase displays, wholesale packages, retail containers, and custom printed labels. “Using 3D ‘Curved Creases’, we can visualize curved creases in a folding carton without first cutting a sample to determine if we got it right. It’s nice to see it on the monitor first to see if the concept it going to work,” remarks Darren Neupert, BoxMaker structural designer. “We can send an image via email to a customer and get a preliminary OK before we go ahead with mock-ups. It will allow us to be much more creative with folding carton designs.”
