  • Method for producing a padding for transporting cargo
    Patent number: 10437232
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for producing a padding for transporting general cargo in an outer packaging using a computer, a 3D scanner and/or a padding machine by obtaining 3D data of a 3D CAD model and material data for each item of cargo from a database and/or by three-dimensional scanning of the cargo with the 3D scanner, sorting the cargo on the basis of the 3D CAD data and the material data into an existing transport category or into a transport category that is created, grouping the items into a cargo group on the basis of the transport category and/or the general cargo ID, virtually arranging the cargo group in the outer packaging, selecting a 3D CAD model of a padding template based on the virtual arrangement, calculating a difference, a break and/or an association between the virtual arrangement of the cargo group in the selected 3D CAD model of the padding template and the 3D CAD model of the selected padding template, the 3D CAD model of the cargo and the coordinates and orientation of the
