What it is

Nothing in the 3D gallery was modelled by hand. Each product’s geometry is solved from its own specification — a 250 ml Boston round comes out at a real 109 × 59 mm because the radius is derived, not drawn. The hero runs the actual three-station rotary stretch-blow moulder their floor uses, and X-rays the tooling so you can watch a preform become a bottle inside closed moulds.

What is inside

In more detail

How a bottle is solved from its fill volume

One formula does it. Each silhouette carries an aspect ratio and a shape factor — how much of its bounding cylinder the body really fills — and the radius is the cube root of the volume divided by the rest. Height, neck bore, surface area and preform weight fall out of that, so changing the fill volume re-solves the bottle instead of scaling a drawing.

Why no line on the spec sheet can go stale

Every row comes out of the same solve: nominal and brimful capacity, height, diameter, neck finish, weight, the label panel and how many cases fit a pallet. Change the fill volume and all of them move together. There is no drawing to update afterwards and no old number left sitting in a file someone already emailed.

Seeing the bottle at its real size before tooling

Export it at metre scale and it opens in augmented reality on the phone, standing on a desk at the size it will actually be. The configuration also lives in the URL, so a buyer can send the exact bottle they mean to a colleague instead of describing it in an email.

What the sustainability calculator will not do

Produce only good news. Raise the recycled content and it shows the carbon for the year falling and the resin bill rising, because recycled material costs more per kilogram. Lightweighting is held at eight per cent, the realistic figure for this wall thickness on a stretch-blow line; more than that needs a mould change, not a slider.

Common questions

Are the bottles in the 3D gallery the real products?

Yes. Each one is solved from its own specification rather than drawn, and the silhouette is read straight from the product name — eight archetypes cover the catalogue. Add a product to the list and its geometry follows from its own numbers, with nobody opening a 3D tool.

Can I get a 3D file of a bottle from the site?

Yes. Any configuration exports as a .glb at metre scale, so it arrives in a 3D tool at the size the bottle really is rather than needing a unit guess, and the same file opens in AR on a phone.

Is anything on the site invented?

No. No staff names were invented, the machine in the hero is the one their floor actually runs, and the geometry comes from the specifications rather than an artist's impression. That last one is the point of solving instead of modelling: a drawing can flatter a bottle, a solved bottle is whatever its numbers say.

Could you do this for our factory's catalogue?

Probably, and it depends on whether your products can be described by their specifications — this client's could, so nothing had to be modelled by hand. Send the catalogue and we will say honestly what solves and what does not. Scope decides the figure, and it is quoted in writing after a call.
