About Picador
Picador is a CAD & PLM software for 2D/3D structural design of cardboard packaging and Point of Sale (POS) displays. It includes tools for design, optimization, prototyping, and palletization, with libraries for FEFCO and ECMA standards.
Picador is a specialized CAD and PLM software developed by treeDiM for the structural design of cardboard packaging and POS/POP displays. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools for 2D drafting, 3D modeling, animation, and prototyping. The software includes parametric libraries based on industry standards like FEFCO and ECMA, streamlining the design process. It also features palletization optimization to improve logistics. Picador is part of the broader PLMPack platform, a collaborative PLM solution for eco-design and optimization of packaging systems. While it is a standalone product, it is designed to interoperate with other design tools like Adobe Illustrator and Solidworks. Pricing is not publicly listed and requires contacting the reseller, NewFormat AB. Training is available through instructor-led sessions.
