ArtiosCAD Reviews & Product Details

ArtiosCAD is a powerful and widely-used tool for packaging design and production, and it is commonly used by packaging designers, manufacturers, and printers around the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not good for the label and graphics. Lack of advanced rendering capabilities: While ArtiosCAD offers powerful structural design tools, it may not be the best choice for creating highly-detailed or photorealistic renderings of packaging designs. Users may need to use additional software to achieve these types of visuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've only used Artios CAD for my last role as a packaging engineer. The only advantage I see Artios CAD having over other CAD software - at least the ones I'm familiar with: SolidWorks, ANSYS, Creo - is that you draw in 2D but can also visualize in 3D. Unlike SolidWorks, where you'd first create the box in 3D and then flatten it into 2D; also if you design something with a sharp bend SolidWorks may not like it and not flatten. Artios CAD allows users to bend the corners to their intended positions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Outside of Packaging, you really wouldn't use Artios CAD. Because of this, I don't believe it's commonly taught in undergrad programs; at least, it wasn't taught at mine. It was complicated to get used to. There are 2-3 things that I hate. The first is the fact that when I draw a line or rectangle, I click for one point or corner, then move to the next place, click for the next point or corner, and am done, at least I should be, but I have to click multiple times for it to actually place that 2nd point or corner. Two, tieing into my first complaint, once the line or rectangle is created, I can't define and/or change its dimensions using the measuring tool. Instead, the correct way to define its dimensions is to go to the bottom left corner outside the drawing area and set the dimensions, confusing new users. Finally, once the first line or rectangle is created, if I was to draw another one Artios CAD forces the user to start from the final point or corner of the previous line or rectangle. Discovering the short-key - Q, I believe - to draw from a different starting place took so long.

Overall, I don't feel that Artios CAD is very user freindly, especially to new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great tool for creating and edititing dielines quickly. It s great that you can take that dieline and create a 3D image to help visualize what it will look like folded up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the 3D view is helpful, it is also a bit clunkly. It would be nice to be able to roate, pan, etc. Without having to click on the camera tool. That way you could stay on the tool you actually need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use to create concepts and draft designs from scratch. Or you can utilize the log of preloaded templates to start from a design idea you have in mind and tweak dimensions to fit the product you will be packaging.

3D side of the program it very useful as well for visualizing your design and how it will be manufactured and assembled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be expensive for many seats and the 3D portion typically costs more, I believe it should come with the program as that is very useful for people getting into the packaging space that typically use Artios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The 3D version of the draft to visualize if your structure is feasible before we mass produce or to proceed with mockup first. This is the only software that you show how your structure is built step by step. And the best part is that ArtiosCAD has a list of the materials built-in on the software (e.g. thickness, inner loss, outer loss of each material) that a designer can use with their projects, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Controls on the 3Dversion - roving around the structure is too difficult when you're not used to it. Shortcuts, AutoCAD shortcuts are super-friendly users that ArtiosCAD must also develop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best thing to say is better precision with measurements creates less wastage in die cutting and graphics can be added by importing them from other softwares. Which makes it cool for better presentation for the consumer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I guess that I dislike about artioscad as it is having best tools for accurate designing, 3D view gives us better visualisation of the package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Straight forward design tools that is optimized best for any kind of 2D die making. Standards are extremely useful and more can be modified or created for specific cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

relations such as coincident points are not well preserved when exporting to a new programs. Also horizontal and vertical must be defined by zero angling rather than snapping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The easy user interface to enter data and 3D models. It allows for easy communication for projects, mocks up, and pallet patterns -- from branding to production! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software can slow the computer down (most company computers are not designed to handle large software). Could there be a lite version that doesn't have as many features? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the user interface and number of standard designs they have in their design index. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like that it is difficult to print a 2D design using a computer that is not connected directly to the laser cutting table. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best that I think has Artios CaAD is the way it simulates the. Folding walls after creating the drawing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike is that in order to crete something the commands o shortcuts are complitly different that other software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
