Producers of fast-moving consumer goods, like Unilever, are under high competitive pressure to constantly develop new products and designs. To develop and test new shapes for the blow moulding process, Unilever relies on 3D printing in design.

"As a consumer goods manufacturer like Unilever, we need to be on the market as quickly as possible, or at least ahead of the competition. We need to offer consumers the best products at the best price as quickly as possible. 3D printing helps us to speed up this process," emphasizes Stefano Cademartiri, Head of CAD & Prototyping, Unilever.(Image: Formlabs)

The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry is characterized by constantly changing demand. In these consumer goods such as newspapers, food, or cleaning products, which consumers buy spontaneously, quickly, and usually routinely, the packaging is an important purchasing criterion. Companies like Unilever have to consider material consumption, aesthetics, safety, and sustainability for a wide range of types of packaging and products. The British company is one of the largest manufacturers of consumer goods worldwide. Its most well-known brands include Dove, Domestos, and Axe.
