Abstract
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is an integral part of packaging design and manufacturing. Thanks to advanced 3D printing technologies, designers in the packaging industry and their marketing departments are able to produce visually realistic models in color, with real textures and in very complex shapes. This allows for analysis of the physical characteristics of the model and redesign of the packaging before final production, ensuring greater efficiency and functionality of the finished product. As part of this work, the entire design and production project of a new packaging model in the form of a plastic bottle was realized. The digital model was created using Autodesk Fusion 360 software. The 3D printing of the packaging prototype was made using FDM technology, based on the principle of successive addition of extruded thermoplastic filament, layer by layer. Based on the analysis of the entire process and the evaluation of the prototype quality, the advantages and disadvantages of 3D printing technology and the final model were determined. The results obtained showed that this method enables rapid modification of the prototype, the creation of high-quality models and speeds up the final decision-making.
