in the Carton and Box industry |

|
Cardboard and paper board cartons and boxes are made by die
cutting sheets into shapes that are subsequently folded.
Designs often originate with the printer who provides
layouts to the carton maker. The carton maker must then make
a flat carton layout in CAD. This is then used for laser cutting the plywood base for a steel rule die. The die is used to cut the flat carton shape in actual production. The problem is how to get the printers Mylar layout into CAD. |
To solve this the printer's layout
is scanned as a raster file and taken into TracTrix where it
is automatically converted to a vector file. The vector file
is exported to the user's CAD software for editing and
export to an NC program to cut the plywood for the steel
rule die. |
