US based industrial packaging manufacturer,Valley Box has integrated SolidWorks 3D design software into its engineering process for better wood and steel packaging designs.
According to the company,SolidWorks gives Valley Box packaging engineers a tool to communicate complicated packaging designs to its customers clearly.
Streamlining the design process,the communication assures that both Valley Box and the customer are satisfied with the final package design.
Valley Box packaging engineer Elijah Lettau said the tool can be easily understood by all involved in decision making.
"The Interference detection technology is also a great advantage because it ensures the part will work once its built,"Lettau said.
SolidWorks 3D boxes and material handling fixtures can be animated to show the build process,moving parts or each piece can be viewed in detail.
The full 3D drawing can be sent to the customer allowing them to put it into their assembly to ensure proper fitment,resulting in the reduction in the number of prototypes and ensuring fitment before package design goes into production.
