PadCAD Version 3.0 software simplifies protective package design for fragile objects. Shipping hazards can be automatically estimated based on total package weight predictions and it is no longer necessary to interpret numerous graphs and perform repetitive calculations to design protective cushioning. The software is easy to use and incorporates an extensive database of shock and vibration isolation data for 20 different cushion materials. For more information on PadCAD, or to purchase a copy, visit The Bookstore. You can also download a free, fully functional, version of PadCAD from this page (good for 10 runs).

Note: PadCad Version 3.0 comes complete with both an English and French language version.
