Exploring the use of 3D Printing Technology in the Fabrication of Personalised Lipstick Applicators

Abstract

This study explores the viability of applying commercially available 3D scanning and printing equipment in the development and manufacture of a personalised lipstick applicator. The shade of a lipstick and its theology are already subject to personalisation. However, the application can be achieved in a more convenient way than using a standardised swivel-up tube. The objective of this project was to examine the possibility of developing a methodology for manufacturing an innovative personalised lipstick applicator using 3D printing technology.
