INITIAL & L\u2019Or\u00e9al <\/h2>\n Production of a final material prototype using 3D printed moulds. <\/span>\n <\/div>\n
INITIAL is speeding up the development of injection moulded parts by means of plastic additive manufacturing and its new offering: 3D Molding\u00ae.\r\n <\/div>\n
\n

The rapid market launch of new products poses a constant challenge for meeting consumers\u2019 specific and wide-ranging requirements.
\nThis is a major challenge in the cosmetics industry.
\nL\u2019Or\u00e9al<\/a>, the global leader in this field, has unique research & innovation expertise.
\nAs a result, 3d molding\u00ae<\/a>, 3D printing<\/a> combined with injection moulding<\/a>, is emerging as real opportunity.<\/p>\n

Initial and l\u2019Or\u00e9al are pooling their know-how to speed up the development of injection moulded parts\n <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n

L\u2019Or\u00e9al is the world\u2019s leading beauty company<\/strong>, with sales of \u20ac26 billion in 2017 and close to 7 billion products sold every year, which represents one product per year per person!
\n INITIAL is the leading French producer of additive-manufactured parts, a Prodways Group<\/a> subsidiary and, for the past 25 years, has been working to speed up the development of products, by means of its design office\u2019s and manufacturing expertise.<\/p>\n

The shared quest for innovation and technical progress fits perfectly into L\u2019Or\u00e9al\u2019s programme known as \u201cOPERATIONS 4.0 \u2013 DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OPERATIONS\u201d.
\n An ambitious mission, in line with increasingly exacting consumer demands.<\/p>\n

INITIAL and L\u2019Or\u00e9al decided to work together to enable them to produce \u201cfinal material<\/a>\u201d parts, in a record time of two weeks and at a low cost, paving the way for accelerated approval and iteration processes for the development of new packaging.

3D printing and thermoplastic injection moulding are finally combined <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n

These two production processes are often presented in opposition, yet they can form a strategic alliance: cutting costs and traditional tooling lead times and paving the way for a new way of working.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The production of so-called \u201ctraditional<\/a>\u201d moulds is subject to production lead times that are no longer compatible with the agility needed to innovate.
\nThis is where 3D printing<\/a> steps up in terms of responsiveness.
\nL\u2019Or\u00e9al found dedicated resources at INITIAL, with an additive manufacturing site and a thermoplastic injection moulding site.<\/a><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
