You remember the barrel maker workshop we cleaned out recently to convert into our very own camera electronics manufacturing facility. While not everything is finished yet the big machine journey of stencil printer, pick and place machine and conveyor re-flow oven happened yesterday together with hundreds of other small things. Everything arrived safely and the new space is taking shape!

Do you know of any open source software optimized for designing folded cardboard boxes and packaging solutions?

It's starting to get complex with new AXIOM Beta Compact Enclosure Assembly Illustrations: 3D CAD data + @Blender rendered explosion drawing then labels and illustration lines on top. Do you consider that clear instructions without confusion?
