Free CubeMaster alternative: DimPack3D
CubeMaster (Logen Solutions) is a long-established load planning and palletization suite: it cascades cases into pallets and pallets into trucks, containers, rail cars and air ULDs, sold as Windows desktop licences and as CubeMaster Online subscriptions.
DimPack3D covers the core workflow CubeMaster charges for — automatic 3D bin-packing, hand fine-tuning, and professional load-plan export — free, in the browser. Below is an honest comparison, including what CubeMaster does better.
