Launching our 3D printed candle brand presented a unique set of challenges that pushed us to reimagine traditional candle-making methods. Our journey began with the ambition to blend technology with traditional craftsmanship, but we soon realized that the path to success would be filled with obstacles. Here, we will explore the three main challenges we faced: utilizing 3D printing technology, inventing new molding techniques, and discovering the perfect material for our candles.
Challenge
Our journey as a 3D printed candle company began with a vision to create a unique brand and buyer experience. However, we encountered three main challenges: mastering 3D printing technology for detailed candle designs, developing innovative mold-making techniques, and selecting the perfect material for our product.
Solution
- 3D Printing Advancements: We experimented with various printer settings, layer thicknesses, and print speeds to optimize the 3D printing process, ultimately achieving a balance between design intricacy and structural integrity.
- Mold-Making Innovations: We developed a hybrid molding system that combined elements of split molds, flexible molds, and modular molds, allowing us to create detailed candles with smooth finishes and minimal post-processing.
- Material Innovation: After extensive research and testing, we formulated a custom blend of soy and beeswax, infused with a proprietary additive. This unique material provided the ideal combination of strength, printability, and burn quality.
Result
- Unique Brand Identity: Our innovative 3D printing techniques and mold-making solutions have enabled us to create candles with one-of-a-kind designs, setting us apart from the competition and establishing a strong brand identity.
- Enhanced Buyer Experience: By using a custom blend of materials, we have created a product with a longer burn time, more consistent burn quality, and eco-friendly properties, thereby elevating the buyer experience.
- Overcoming Challenges: Our journey has been a testament to perseverance, creativity, and innovation. We have successfully overcome the challenges of 3D printing, mold-making, and material selection, ultimately creating a product that delights our customers.
