As one of the world’s largest fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies, Unilever is constantly developing new products for everyday use, from personal care to home care, nutrition, and more.

One important area of innovation is packaging; the design of a bottle can sometimes affect customer perception as much as what’s inside. Brands like Unilever have to consider material usage, aesthetic appeal, safety, and sustainability for a vast catalog of packaging types and the products they hold. But for a “simple” plastic bottle, getting from a design on the computer screen to filling it on the manufacturing line has traditionally taken many months.

Learn from Stefano Cademartiri, CAD & Prototyping Owner at Unilever, and Flavio Migliarelli, R&D Design Manager at Serioplast Global Services, how they worked hand in hand to test the viability of 3D printed molds for low-volume stretch blow molding (SBM) to accelerate prototyping and pilot testing, cutting lead time by six weeks and costs by up to 90%.
