Lin pointed to the XP screen, still showing ArtiosCAD 7.6’s crease table. "This version had a bug," Lin said. "The relief calculator was wrong for double-wall board. So the old-timers like me learned to patch it manually. Your new software 'fixes' the bug automatically. But sometimes, the bug is the feature. The resistance in the fold is what gives it strength."
Beyond aesthetics, ArtiosCAD 7.6 focused heavily on the "convertibility" of a design. It featured robust tooling for creating die-boards, stripping sets, and rotary covers. By automating the creation of these manufacturing tools, the software reduced human error and significantly shortened lead times. The "Nesting" and "Layout" features ensured that material waste was kept to a minimum, directly impacting the bottom line for packaging converters. ESKO ArtiosCAD 7.6
