Mullineux, G., Feldman, J., & Matthews, J. (2010). Using constraints at the conceptual stage of the design of carton erection. Mechanism and Machine Theory, 45(12), 1897-1908. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mechmachtheory.2010.08.001

Cartons are a common way to package many consumer goods. If new designs are used it is necessary to simulate their erection to ensure that this works correctly, particularly at high speed. In this paper, constraint-based techniques are used to model... Read More about Using constraints at the conceptual stage of the design of carton erection.
