01
Start with what you have
An old part, a photo, drawing or container is enough to start. We can explore the application without complete CAD.
Engineering · Built around your line
Engineering that makes change easier.
New bottle formats, replacement components or a completely different approach. We turn packaging challenges into practical parts.
No complete CAD requiredDirect engineer contactApplication-led design
A closer look at the design
Made for the component. Built for the line.
The AddPack approach
Good engineering starts with your challenge.
02
More than a replacement
We look beyond the existing shape to consider function, wear, materials and ways to simplify production.
03
Make repeat orders easier
Once the part is validated, a controlled digital specification helps avoid starting from scratch next time.
How we work
From challenge to component.
A straightforward way of working, with a real engineer involved from the first conversation.
- 01
Understand
Share your part, container and machine requirements. Start with whatever information you have.
- 02
Rethink
We review function, interfaces and opportunities for better geometry or materials.
- 03
Make
Agree a production approach, manufacture the component and inspect against the requirements.
- 04
Repeat
Retain the approved digital specification for easier future orders.
Engineering in action
Engineering you can see.
From a Dutch-patented forming-shoulder concept to a customer-initiated gripper project, see the problems we have tackled.
Internal proof of concept · Dutch patent granted
Forming shoulders, rethought.
Could a complex, traditionally labour-intensive part start with a reusable digital design? Our internal proof of concept demonstrated a working alternative.
Explore the project
Customer-initiated project
A secure grip. A simpler part.
Building on an original Sidel project by Additive Center, AddPack explored a one-piece gripper with fewer components and more flexibility.
Explore the projectFor a closer technical lookExplore our engineering capabilitiesReverse engineering, manufacturing, inspection and digital specifications.
Reverse engineering
Start with a physical component, drawing, STEP/STP file, scan, photographs, machine information, container or partial technical evidence.
Design & optimisation
The requirement is reviewed before the geometry is reproduced. Friction, wear, mass, cleanability, product contact and maintenance can be considered.
Additive manufacturing
Used where the process provides a practical engineering advantage. AddPack is not a generic print bureau.
Other & hybrid manufacturing
The architecture supports additional manufacturing routes selected for the component and application.
Inspection & QA
Dimensional inspection, measurement evidence, drawing comparison, photographic documentation and production validation.
Digital specification
Once validated, the manufacturing specification can be retained for controlled repeat production.
