Development of corrugatec box packaging CAD software system

The value of packaging in people’s daily life is playing an increasingly important role. Among the many exquisite packaging of goods, corrugated boxes tacke up the first position. Although the corrugated CAD software has been used widely in the international market, but the design and production of corrugated boxes in the domestic corporation still mainly depend on manual operation. The development of corrugated CAD system is the main object of this paper. The detail of the corrugated box in the design process, material selection, size, strength, strength checking is discussed in this paper, then the establishment of a computerized design flow chart is summed up. Visual Basic programming language is used to complete procedures. The software has a friendly user interface; can automatically determine the number of contents and the arrangement; calculate internal and external dimensions; check stacking and compressive strength, and so on.
