With this online tool, you can optimize the layout of 3D cuboids (boxes, products) with specified dimensions and quantities within a given packaging volume (containers). This allows you to optimally stack boxes into containers, crates, truck beds, railcars, and shipments—so that the resulting unused space and the total number of containers are minimized. You can export the calculated layout of the 3D volumetric elements to AutoCAD by clicking the ‘Copy to AutoCAD’ button. Enter the required dimensions (width x height x length), quantities, and other initial parameters for the parts and the container (including price and wall thickness) into the volume optimizer form. To perform the calculation, click the [Pack] button.
In the results, you can click on individual rows for Packages and Boxes to view them interactively in 3D.
Note:
The optimization process uses the 3D Bin Pack algorithm. The generated placement does not always represent the best strategy for maximizing the specified volume.
