Parametric online packaging tool

This tool was developed as part of a master course in which 3D modeling, packaging and coding come together.

Simply put in your desired dimensions & thickness of your material for the box and download the cutting plans. It is also possible to change the roundness of the box flaps, size of glue strips, and folding lines.

Create

This tool was made so everyone can create their personal packaging templates that fit precisely to their product. The goal was to learn a new software (Rhino 7 + grasshopper) and explore its capabilities in combination with shapediver, which allows for online integration of parametric 3D models. The challenge was to make the model as smart as possible, making it adaptable to uploaded 3D models.

One can also upload a 3D model to size the box accordingly. The cutting plans are free to download and use. Easily cut out the pattern using a lasercuttor or transfer the print onto any cardboard/paper based plate and use a knife.

Model slicer

Upload a 3D model, the sofware will generate a contour and folding flaps to place the insert in the middle of your box. Download the exported file and cut it out on a laser or cnc.

Based on model box

Upload a 3D model, adjust the thickness of your material and size of your plate. The software will nest the curves for you on to the plate(s) then simply download the cut file and put in your machine.
