What are you packaging today?
Select your packaging type and upload your CAD or geometry file. I'll route the correct engineering workflow and ask only the next required question.
Supported formats: STEP, STL, OBJ, GLB, DXF
Upload the CAD.
STEP, STL, OBJ, GLB, PLY all accepted. The 3D viewer below mirrors what the analysis will run on.
Confirm material and product.
Verified material properties from the database. Anything missing is fetched on demand and cached.
Declare the route.
Set how many hours the shipment spends in each transport mode, the worst-case manual-handling drop, and where it ships. Then approve to run the analysis.
Add at least one mode (hours) or a manual drop height to enable approval.
Approve the plan, then run.
Every step labelled. Every assumption listed. Nothing runs without your sign-off.
Edits above are saved with the case before the run starts.
Verdict.
Did this match the real ISTA test?
Tell the analysis what actually happened. The platform learns where it was off and re-calibrates subsequent runs on this material × packaging-type pair.
Engineering review.
Post-consumer recycled substitution
Compare the current material with its PCR analogue.
Secondary carton — PCR substitution
Compare the current carton board with its PCR analogue.
Sign and lock.
Locks the design and writes a SHA-256 manifest. Tamper-evident.
Variant
Full breakdown for this alternative — same physics, applied to its material and wall.
Primary packaging — three alternatives, re-tested.
Pick an intent — cost, strength, or your own — and the optimiser proposes three alternatives, each re-evaluated through the same ISTA 2A pipeline.
First alternative is always a post-consumer recycled swap
Each optimisation run pins the first variant to the PCR analogue of your baseline material (PET → PCR-PET, HDPE → PCR-HDPE, and so on). Mass and cost are recomputed against the recycled grade's density; the live carbon delta and recycled-content percentage appear inline once the run completes.
Optimise the shipping carton.
The carton is graded by real McKee compression, drop safety factor, vibration dose, board cost, and carbon.
Upload your CAD geometry
Required first. The 3D model powers geometry analysis, the viewer, heatmaps, and geometry-based calculations. STEP, STP, STL, OBJ, or GLB.
Review extracted fields
Check each value, fix anything that looks off, then approve. Required fields must be complete.
