"iC3D handled the shrink with ease, and produced a good 3D render, with accurate lighting effects in just 19 minutes."
NEIL GOULD, MOLSON COORS
"iC3D provides us the potential to offer our customers photo realistic virtual packaging in 3D format"
BRENDA ABRAHAM, BEMIS
"iC3D offers real internal and external added value. It gives us an economic way to capture potential errors early"
JAN DEBACKER, MADE IN PACK
"Because it creates truly accurate virtual prototypes, using iC3D means we don’t need to create as many physical ones, which saves both time and money."
JOHN DAVIS, CYBER GRAPHICS
