Two years ago, through a business cooperation with the start-up company Erpro 3D Factory, Albéa incorporated 3D printing technology into its services for the first time, setting a new milestone in the development of 3D cosmetic packaging (see the picture above). The company is currently developing applications using industry-leading HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology and Erpro's cosmetic production expertise. Therefore, the first generation of decorative parts designed and produced to take advantage of the advanced features of the HP platform is in the latest development stage. Albéa will soon launch its first products.
Yann Crapet, 3D project manager at Albéa, said: "Using the expertise of HP and Erpro, we are able to push 3D printing in cosmetics to a new level, and the finer details that HP technology can provide are amazing." Doing so, we will provide our customers with fast-to-market solutions, and combine unprecedented low-volume and high-volume custom designs."
In the initial phase of the collaboration, Albéa, Erpro, and HP Inc worked closely to design and produce applications that meet the regulatory standards of the cosmetics industry while providing unparalleled levels of quality, cost, and reliability. In addition, the advantages of design are crucial to the development process, providing extreme details and mass customization.
"As we have seen in consumer products and other markets such as automotive and healthcare, the mass production of 3D printing applications has the potential to truly disrupt the industry," said Virginia Palacios, head of HP's personalization and 3D multi-jet fusion solutions management. . "This groundbreaking collaboration with Albéa and Erpro opens up amazing possibilities for the world's leading cosmetics brands. The advanced features provided by Multi Jet Fusion provide incredibly detailed designs, precise quality and top-notch design for cosmetic brushes and other components performance."
As the end user of the machine, Erpro has improved and customized its manufacturing process to support the industrial production of small parts designed by Albéa. 3D printing technology continues to develop rapidly beyond prototyping, providing flexible options for highly personalized mass production of final parts, and opening up new perspectives for brands and manufacturers, especially in the cosmetics industry.
"Today, this technology opens up many manufacturing applications with unprecedented accuracy and reliability", explains Quentin Bertucchi, R&D process engineer at Erpro Group. "We are now able to produce larger quantities in a shorter period of time. Working with HP and Albéa to promote the industrialization of 3D printing and to explore all the possibilities of this technology is an exciting experience." Erpro CEO Cyrille Vue Added.
