Nutralite is one of the widely accepted Healthy spread brands widely accepted by Indian Households.
This is the story of vexma which has done its part in taking a new product from a concept to a lip smacking healthy food in Indian households with its innovative packaging and labeling designs.
A brief about vexma Technologies;
Vexma Technologies is a new age industrial design and product design company that helps brands to come out with a innovative and customer centric labelling and packaging designs increasing their brand value and market penetration.
The story:
When Nutralite Approached Vexma to design and develop a innovative label design and packaging design for its healthy spreads line for Vexma it is a moment of joy and fear.
With fierce competition around in the market for the product already it is a moment of truth for creative team of vexma to show its capability and design a product that not only grabs customer attention but shows the product benefits in a simple manner.
But as a younger generation team and with a zeal to prove themselves in the market Vexma took up this challenge.
The challenges:
1.The product is a spread: (SO there is a little or no room in terms of changing the container shape as it may become problematic for the customer to extract the spread completely)
2.The content: The content is in semi solid state with tendency to leak. So the locking should be rigid enough to withstand any type of miss-handling.
3.The label: There are already several products in the market that is as attractive already.
In short it is a typical case of: “Usability Vs Rigidity Vs Aesthetics”
Combining these three in to one single product is the challenge what has to be accomplished by Vexma.
How its done:
The Vexma Team took this challenge and created several designs based on the customer inputs
Research: They did extensive market research, Analysed competitor products and bench marked.
Ideation: The Do’s and Don’t’s Have been decided in this phase.
Conceptualization: Vexma Has made more than 10 packaging designs and 15 labelling designs for the customer to come out with one design that not only compelling but also a durable product.
Product development: Vexma Succefully 3D printed the containers and printed and gave the customer the sample to try out.
Validation: Nutralite’s marketing team tested the product quality and marketability and finalized the product design.
End result for Nutralite: Today Nutralite has become one of the renowned name in the space of healthy spreads. It continues to dominate the market with its vibrant, enigmatic labelling and continue to attract customers in the shelves of stores.
End result for Vexma: For Vexma Another happy customer and one more figure in it is crown.
As we know;
“Nothing is happier to the product designer other than seeing his creation has been watched and used by Millions everyday”
A success story of a start-up that developed an ingenious and futuristic E-Rickshaw
And made impossible possible.
In 2018 a budding product development & 3D printing start up named VEXMA Technologies eagerly waiting for opportunities to set their foot print in Automotive product development industry.
A segment next to the medical industry in terms of investment’s, innovations, with larger corporations spending billions in R&D with a mantra to change the world with Electric vehicles. Almost all the experienced veterans from largest organizations are flooding the market with start-ups registering every day and more than 1600 patents being filed every week. It was next to impossible for organizations like VEXMA Technologies to have a standing chance.
During that time, a French auto maker VALEO Powertrain systems approached VEXMA Technologies to develop a European style E-rickshaw to show case their newly built power train. For them it was one of the projects within their vast R&D, but for Vexma it was too good to be true.
An opportunity to design & develop a vehicle from scratch and that to with a futuristic styling, aesthetics and ergonomics in to the consideration. Not only aesthetics but the HMI dashboard & the lighting system, everything had to be developed from scratch.
VEXMA Technologies being a start-up was not ready to take up the size of this project at the time, but they knew only few gets to ride this opportunity.
So VEXMA Technologies took it as a challenge.
As they believed “if you have the will and determination to do something you can achieve anything”. They promised VALEO that they will deliver vehicle not only with a futuristic outlook but a functional prototype that can create a synergy between styling and performance. A big thanks to VALEO that they gave their full support throughout the project tenure.
VEXMA started its process towards excellence. Their motto for this project is simple deliver a vehicle that had an “AWE” Factor combined with performance. They started with setting up a cross functional team and brainstormed the criticalities of the project before making a RASIC-chart.
The budget of the project was a fraction of what other Automakers spend to develop a project of this size. Vexma at that time did not have a state of art assembly facility nor a testing facility. They did not have a styling studio or a team that can design exterior or interior trims. The only feedback they received from Valeo was through Mr. Nelson Bechara who supported Vexma throughout the product development journey.
Finally, something clicked with VALEO and approved VEXMA conceptual 3D Model. The question was then how to manufacture the vehicle without expensive tooling in a very short lead time.
Such situation provoked VEXMA Technologies to think out of the BOX. Their strategy was simple if you can’t do it find someone who can. Thanks to its continual support of partners, suppliers and in-house Industrial grade 3D printers with a dedicated R&D Team specialized in electronics and embedded systems, Vexma ended up with a functional working EV-prototype.
Most of the parts were 3D printed, FRP moulded and assembled in their workshop. Aesthetics and comfort for the cabin were customized to generate an intuitive experience of the vehicle. The Panoramic roof and removable doors were few of the unique, yet ultramodern features added to the style of the vehicle to deliver an electric e-rickshaw that was one of a kind.
With the team that never gave up, the constant support from suppliers and backing from our client, we made impossible possible in a limited time frame.
VEXMA Technologies successfully delivered this project to VALEO for further testing and analysis.
We are looking forward to having such challenging projects like these from all over the world to show the best of our capabilities.
Because for VEXMA we believe in “I’M POSSIBLE”.
We will continue to post this project phase wise. Stay tuned.
By letting companies prototype faster 3D printing will lead to quicker iterations, faster time to market and more niche products. By 3D printing certain parts companies can produce on demand and offer more finely attuned products. By using 3D printing extensively companies can make what their customers want and move into new markets quicker. By responding directly to customer demand and wishes companies can compete with better products that better respond to what customers actually want. By not having to produce a million copies of something for it to be viable companies are more able to make better things.
Designers can use 3D printers and 3D printing service bhopal kochi to make their products without start up costs. Production could scale easily and many niche and individualized products can be made.
Much more competition will occur by combinatory manufacturing using the best of mass production combined with 3D printing to make products that were hereto not viable. Individual designers can enter markets that hereto were barred for them because of barriers to entry. Because they are free to design what they want designers can make many prototypes or viable individual designs without too much concern to existing markets or assumed viability. It is only a question of time before designers start to unlock hidden markets for products that have not existed yet. Likewise individual designers will unlock hidden demand for instantly popular products that have not been able to be made previously. As online publication now lets anyone be their own news source 3D printing will let anyone be their own manufacturer.
Consumers can produce what they want and design things to be exactly as they want them to be. Things can be made that exactly fit their style, bodies or moods. By creating things themselves consumers will be able to express themselves through their products and create things that are of higher value to them.
In the medical market implants and medical devices that are 3D printed will be a much better fit and lead to better patient outcomes than existing mass produced medical equipment.
In many markets fit will turn out to be the critical criterion for consumer demand and this will lead to the adoption of 3D printing across many industries.
3D printing lets you make a thing as it should be. This thing can look or be as you need it to be. Currently everything is made for millions of different people and marketing ensures that people buy things even though they do not meet their needs exactly. 3D printing lets you meet any individual need precisely. It lets you produce in a series of one for a use case of one. Currently companies are on a path to try to make one thing for as many people as possible, distribute this thing as widely as is possible and market this thing as widely as is possible. 3D printing is an alternative way of doing business whereby higher value better fit products are created for individuals. While mass production can not make the "best" of anything 3D printing will be able to do so. 3d printing castable Jewelry surat gujarat
In this manner I believe 3D printing to be the future of manufacturing. Things will still be made in the old way but a new industrial revolution will mean that much of the future value creation in manufacturing will be in 3D printing.
With the current and future trend of making everything more custom-made it is not surprising that manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing will be of high importance. The technique allows customers to design and make their own highly customized packages on request. Individual packaging designs can be manufactured specifically in accordance with customer wishes and various design prototypes can be produced running efficiently.
Our iterative design process is economical and time efficient, giving our customers quick, cheap samples that can be tested, analysed and refined before being finalised for manufacture or tooling. This is perfect for gaining feedback from clients or investors.

In the early days, 3D printing was used almost exclusively for creating
automotive prototypes for checking form and fit. Those prototypes tended
to be built using selective laser sintering or binder jetting,
resulting in aesthetically pleasing, but fairly weak, parts. Nowadays,
more robust 3D printing technologies such as fused filament fabrication
(FFF) are being increasingly used in automotive manufacturing, not only
for prototypes, but also for rapid tooling and even end-use parts.
Eventuri
The first company we will look at in this article is UK-based Eventuri.
Eventuri manufactures high-performance carbon fiber air intake ductwork
for a range of high-end models, including the BMW M-Power and Audi RS
ranges.
The complex geometry of the ducts is designed in CAD first, and then the
airflows through that geometry are simulated in a computational fluid
dynamics package. Obviously, carbon fiber–reinforced plastic components
are expensive to manufacture due to the costly mold-making process, so
it is perhaps no surprise that the company has turned to 3D printing to
test the form and fit of these components before they invest in the
molds required for final production. For manufacturing the prototypes,
Eventuri invested in an Ultimaker 2 and the Ultimaker 2 Extended+
printers.
By definition, custom auto modification focuses on very small production
runs, with many parts being totally unique. In the past, if a customer
wanted custom accessories, they would either need to be purchased from a
third-party custom part specialist, or else be fabricated in some other
time-consuming and expensive manner (such as laser cutting or CNC
milling).
Well, for certain plastic parts, those days are certainly numbered.
Since purchasing an Ultimaker 2 Extended+, Tucci Hot Rods has tripled
the speed at which these parts are produced, while reducing the cost of
manufacture by a whopping 90 percent.
Now you have seen how a desktop 3D printer can have such an impact on
the automotive world, from the prototype phase all the way to the final
product itself. No doubt there are hundreds of other examples of how
users have been modding their own rides with the aid of FFF printers.
Are you one of them? Do you own an Ultimaker printer, and have you made
some cool stuff for your car? Let us know in the comments. We’d love to
hear about your ideas!
Highly Complex, Durable, & Lightweight Production Tools
Using 3D printing to produce manufacturing jigs & fixtures has many
benefits above the time and cost savings compared to traditional
manufacturing. Our 3D printing materials are strong but they are also
lightweight. By giving you the option to print in a sparse-fill build
you have more control on the weight of parts, especially those that are
being used by workers hundreds of times in a shift.
Using 3D printing in the automotive industry gives you the following benefits:
> Unsupervised builds VS a CNC Machine that requires a full time operator
> Cost Effective Customization
> Improved quality and speed of prototypes
> Ability to create large prototypes in strong materials such as Ultem
> Increased communication and feedback earlier in the design cycle
> Increased production with optimized tools
> Decreased design time with functional testing
> Cost reductions in engineering documentation, warehousing, and
manufacturing
By
replacing expensive and lead-time critical CNC-milled parts with
in-house manufactured plastic parts, you can dramatically reduce your
production costs. The printed plastic parts also perform better
technically, weigh less, and are well suited for the production of
complex bodies that, when using conventional metal-cutting processes,
would be very difficult and costly to produce.
Create Better Assembly Tools
For
hand-held devices used on the assembly line, engineers can employ 3D
printing to make ergonomically designed assembly aids that perform
better than conventionally made tools.
Test and Identify Design Problems
In
some cases using CAD models alone is not as effective at finding design
problems as a 3D printed physical part you can easily identify a
component issue that may have been missed in the initial design stage.
How is 3d printing in automotive industry paving the way for new car designs?
In
the current landscape, cars are built on long assembly lines that
consume staggering amounts of energy, which means even cars built to
live an eco-friendly existence roll off the assembly line with a huge
carbon footprint. Choosing 3d printing over traditional manufacturing in
the field of Automobile industry mainly includes two positive impacts
which are the exclusion of leftover waste and minimum generation of heat
energy which contributes to an eco-friendly method of processing.
