Abstract

The method for digitally designing and manufacturing made-to-measure packaging for an object includes recognizing the object; automatically determining the family of objects to which the object belongs; automatically determining a sub-family to which the object belongs according to the morphology of the object; evaluating the dimensions of the object; determining the packaging model of which the internal volumetric space is capable of containing the object; identifying, locating, defining and quantifying the preferred wedging areas; creating a 3D digital design of the packaging and its preferred wedging areas; digitally decomposing the packaging and its preferred wedging areas by creating different complementary elementary layers by means of digital slicing; reproducing the different layers by cutting a suitable material in sheet form in order to obtain strata, and subsequently stacking and/or juxtaposing, positioning, assembling and securing the different strata to form the packaging.
