The world of packaging design is constantly evolving. It takes time, expertise and production capabilities at the final stage of creating your design’s prototype. Stratasys J series printers shorten this process, reduce your iterations and bring your design to life in a matter of hours. With vibrant colors, adjusted transparencies and completely new features in the world of 3D printing, you can now print accurate color for liquids, physical packaging, and even labels. This tutorial will take you step by step from your CAD file, to realistic render in Keyshot and finally, to an unbelievably realistic 3D print, printed by your J series printer.

Note: Since Rhino is unable to properly loose offset single-span degree 5 surface and creates chaotic output surfaces, I used an old “hack” with using the hugely underappreciated “MoveUVN” tool to offset the control points instead. That results into almost flawless loose offset surfaces that need just a few touches to maintain their tangency along the border.

Do not use "Sweep 2 rails" in Rhino, because it will deform the bottle and add an unnecessary amount of control points. Use "Rail revolve" instead.
