Case Study: Medipack AG achieves rapid sample-to-production cycles with Solid Edge

Convincing design of comprehensive, customer-specific packaging solutions for medical devices

Medipack AG, a Swiss medical‑packaging system supplier with about 150 employees, faced strict regulatory compliance, highly customer‑specific designs and strong time‑to‑market pressures. To handle thin‑walled thermoforming, freeform surfaces and integrated tooling and machine design, Medipack relies on Solid Edge 3D/2D CAD from Siemens Digital Industries Software to import client STEP models and drive its end‑to‑end packaging development.

Using Solid Edge features—particularly part families, the thin‑wall command and built‑in data management—Medipack modularized designs so tooling and components stay linked and late changes propagate automatically. The vendor’s solution enabled rapid sample creation, shorter project cycles, seamless CAM handoff and an emergency production path that reduces time from initial sample to production launch to five days (versus a typical five‑week order‑to‑startup), delivering clear gains in speed, flexibility and traceability for Medipack AG.
