Tropical Nature Drink

Last crawled date: 1 year, 10 months ago

Product description:- The idea of designing juice packaging is come to my mind due to the extensive summer weather of India. Drinking juice in summer not only keeps our body hydrated but also helps us in healing a lot of health problems. My design is representing the concept of pure nature, i.e the natural juice has been extracted from fresh fruits that are originated from nature.

While designing this packaging, I have kept Stratasys J55 Multi-Color, Multi-material machine capabilities in my mind with a material option of - UltraClearS, VeroCyan-V, VeroMagenta-V, VeroPureWhite, and VeroYellow-V

My design consist of four separate bodies -

1. The outer Glass - It represents the possibility of true transparency with UltraClearS Material. The Product labels, Grass, and Fruit graphics are attached to the Glass body using Keyshot software representing the brand and the concept of nature.

2. Garden (Assigned as green color) - This is a separate body assembled within the transparent glass showing the concept of multi-body, Multi-color 3D printing and representing pure nature.

3. Liquid (Assigned as Yellowish color) - This is again a separate body with the material assigned as a liquid within the keyshot. It represents the appearance of the product during its usage.

4. Cap (Assigned as Green Color) - I have added some Extrude-cut geometry features for the gripping and also some labels have been added to represents the possibility of displaying the product logo on the design.

About Me:- I am a Mechanical Engineer with quite good experience in CAD/ Reverse Engineering and 3D Printing domain. Currently, I am working in Altem technologies as a Senior Engineer - Application and Support - 3D printing. My job responsibilities include - All Pre-sales and Post-sales related work for 3D printing. I am using Stratasys 3D printing solution's for the last 4 years and am well aware of the Multi-material, Multi-color capability of Polyjet 3D printing.

Throughout my professional journey, I have met so many designers and I think most of the design community have heard about multi-color and multi-material 3D printing, but they are barely aware of its simplified workflow from Design - Render - Print.

The above model can be printed with other colors 3D printing technology but Stratasys Polyjet technology offers the most simplified workflow with realistic color 3D printed models and true transparency. I am highly impressed with the simplified workflow of render to print with Keyshot version 10. The best part is the 3MF file export which makes the whole process so simple and eliminates the use of multiple software to assign texture, labels, and materials. I have worked with a range of Stratasys 3D printers and each new print always impressed and motivate me to think beyond my imagination and creativity.

Challenge Description:- The packaging industry usually facing communication challenges while product designing or sometimes it is difficult for the designers to visualize the designs on the screen which ultimately leads to wrong decisions and delays. So, the Challenge was to bring the idea into reality using Stratasys Polyjet 3D Printing technology with a streamlined digital design workflow from Render to print using Keyshot software.

Solution:- This juice packaging bottle is taking 30 hours to print, which means you will get your final product prototype in less than 2 days which cannot be possible by the traditional way of manufacturing. Also, if it has to be manufactured via the traditional method, a user must have to go with multiple technologies and multi-step processing of painting, texturing, labeling, and finishing, which is highly labor-intensive work. 3D printing allows to do more iterations within the same time, more iterations means the designer can able to reach its final and better design faster than ever before.
