Successful package design through innovation

Camera View Demo

Successful product design is about innovation. It is a well thought-out combination and balance of form, fit and function. It must ultimately leave customers with a positive experience, each and every time they use a product. Siemens’ NX software is an ideal tool for the challenges faced by package designers in the consumer packaged goods and food and beverage industries. NX’s shape design and refinement capabilities enable designers to refine the design concept quickly, by using sophisticated freeform shape modeling, surface continuity and analysis, simulation and visualization tools. With NX, designers have all the tools they need to explore shape and style while ensuring a seamless transition into engineering, simulation and manufacturing.

With NX, you’re not limited to how you create; powerful geometry creation and editing tools ensure that the most complex shapes can be created quickly, with ease and with adaptability to change. NX yields high-quality surfaces that are totally usable throughout the complete product development process. With NX, designers can continuously visualize all aspects of the package in real time, and even collaborate on the new package securely and globally with others inside and outside the company. Knowledge-based automation accelerates the design process, resulting in proven time savings for the completion of an entire family of new packages. Leading consumer products companies implement NX to develop, design and virtually test new packages (bottles, tubes, toddles and cartons). They employ these tools to develop new look and feel attributes rapidly, as well as to evaluate the cost, quality and manufacturability of designs before physical prototyping.
