Companies designing and producing glass and plastic
packaging for the healthcare, household and
chemical, automotive, and beverage industries are
using Contex 3D Printers to speed and improve their
design process.
PROBLEM
A new
packaging design has to be functional, economical
and innovative. Clear and effective communication is
necessary to satisfy customers and simplify the
design process. The traditional method of using 3D
screen renderings, limits communication and forces
compromises late in the design process or extensions
in the design process.
THE CONTEX 3D PRINTER PROVIDES THE ABILITY TO:
Communicate Internally:
Contex 3D Printers are capable of creating
appearance prototypes of any complexity directly
from digital data, quickly and inexpensively.
Communicate with Clients:
Functional appearance
prototypes are useful in solving problems and
obtaining agreement on a design direction.
Generate New Business:
Contex parts can be used to bid on new business by
clearly communicating design ideas and establishing
an advantage over the competition.
Output Finite Element Analysis Data:
The unique color
capability of the Contex Printer provides a way to
visualize and communicate the results of finite
element analysis and identify problem areas early in
the process.
