How to check the carton box structure with 3D module
How to check the carton box structure with 3D module
For box structural designers, when design a carton box template for clients it is very hard to check whether the box structural design is reasonable or not without physical reference. In this article we will discuss how to use Packmage CAD software 3D lines mode to check the rationality of the carton box.
At first, we need to find out a die line template in Packmage CAD box template library, for example, a shoe box template.
The photo above is the die line of a shoe box template, there has a interior lock structure on the lid of the shoe box. Once we finished the structural design of the shoe box according to the required size, we will go to the 3D mode check the structural design.
Look at the photo above, we are still not clear for certain size details via this 3D box modeling picture, or doubt the whether the sizes of shoe box are reasonable or not. For example, the lid structure of the shoe box can not be seen completely.
In Packmage CAD software, we can switch to lines mode by press short cut key L in the 3D interface.
During this mode, we can check the whole structure of the shoe box clearly, and the whole process is easy enough. However, one thing we need to pay attention, because the 3D module displays the material of the shoe box, which means it will display the caliper of the paper, so before we use line mode to check the box structure in 3D module, we have to change the caliper value into 0 in Parametric design interface.
