1,500 die-cutting forms become a searchable 3D library
The starting situation
A historically grown collection of around 1,500 die-cutting forms exists partly as print data (PDF/vector) and partly as physical samples. Sales and production need minutes to hours to find the right form for a customer request — there is no central overview.
How we solve it
We parse cut and crease lines from print files, automatically generate a 3D model of each die-cutting form and store everything in a searchable asset database. Search works by dimensions, product type, material and similarity embeddings — for example “folding carton ~10×6×4 cm with tuck closure”. Links to ERP orders and calculation are included.
What you get
Knowledge that used to be scattered across people’s heads becomes a searchable library with preview renderings. Sales can immediately compare customer ideas with existing inventory, production sees historical usage — and new die-cutting forms can be compared with similar existing forms before ordering.
