About Project

If you are looking for a way to create a stunning and elegant cosmetic container, you might want to consider SLA 3D printing with clear resin. SLA (Stereolithography) is a 3D printing technology that uses a laser to cure liquid resin into solid objects. SLA 3D printing can produce high-resolution and smooth surfaces, which are ideal for cosmetic products.

However, SLA 3D printing with clear resin also has some challenges. One of them is how to polish the inside part of the container, especially under the neck area, where the resin might be hard to reach and remove. If the inside part is not polished well, the transparency of the container will be compromised, and the product will look partly dull and cloudy.

That’s why we at FacFox have developed a smart solution for this problem. We split the 3D model of the container into two parts: the bottleneck and the body. We print them separately with SLA clear resin, and then carefully polish every corner and edge of each part. After that, we stick the two parts together with a special glue, and cover them with a thin layer of clear acrylic oil. The result is a seamless and transparent cosmetic container that looks like it was made in one piece.

As you can see, our SLA 3D printed clear resin cosmetic container prototype has a smooth and glossy surface, and a high level of transparency. You can also customize the shape, size, and design of your container according to your preferences and needs. We can print any complex geometry and fine details with our SLA 3D printers.

Solution

  • Step 1: The 3D model of the container was split into two parts: the bottleneck and the body.
  • Step 2: The two parts were printed separately with SLA clear resin on a SLA 3D printer. Stereolithography (SLA) is a 3D printing technology that uses a laser to cure liquid resin into solid objects. The resin tank was filled with SLA Clear Resin.
  • Step 3: The printed parts were removed from the printer and cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to remove any excess resin. They were then cured with UV light to harden and strengthen the resin.
  • Step 4: The printed parts were carefully polished with sandpaper and polishing compound to smooth the surface and improve the transparency.
  • Step 5: The two parts were stuck together with a special glue, and aligned precisely to avoid any gaps or misalignment.
  • Step 6: The glued parts were covered with a thin layer of clear acrylic oil to enhance the glossiness and protect the resin from scratches and yellowing.
