Case Study: COLLAPSECON achieves 30% lighter, lower‑cost collapsible container design with Altair HyperWorks

Optimisation of a Collapsible Economic Container “COLLAPSECON"

Collapsecon, the semi‑automated Collapsible‑Economic‑Container developed at CEC Systems, needed a mass‑production ready design that reduced weight, material use and cost without sacrificing manufacturability or its 4:1 collapse functionality. Altair was engaged to address these challenges using the Altair HyperWorks Suite to optimize the container for production and operational efficiency.

Altair applied HyperWorks to identify weight‑reduction and manufacturing efficiencies, delivering a newly engineered container that is potentially 30% lighter while preserving the 4:1 collapse ratio (four empty containers collapse into one). The solution cut material requirements, increased manufacturing efficiency, reduced cost and environmental impact—providing measurable performance and production gains for Collapsecon.
