Arden Software will unveil, what it claims to be, the first-ever AI-powered features within its flagship packaging design software, Impact, at the upcoming Hybrid Fusion Packaging Summit, held in Amsterdam from 22-25 April 2025.

At the heart of Arden Software’s showcase will be a first look at its AI-powered features being developed within Impact, designed to transform packaging and tooling design workflow. These enhancements, which are expected to be released to the public later this year, are set to provide designers and die-makers with intelligent tools that offer significant time savings.

Matt Hewitt, business development director at Arden Software, said: “We are incredibly excited to preview the next evolution of Impact at Hybrid Fusion 2025. The AI-powered features we’re unveiling will give designers and die-makers powerful, intelligent tools to optimise their workflow, and increase productivity in ways we’ve never seen before.”

Impact “Dynamic Constraints Edition” first introduced in 2023, has seen Impact become the first ever packaging design CAD software to offer geometric constraint tools, which captures the designer’s intent as they draw, and enables quick and easy resizing, said Arden Software.

Mr Hewitt continued: “With our Dynamic Constraints Edition already transforming packaging design, this is just the beginning of what we believe will be a game-changing era for the industry.”
