3D scan of a thermoformed part (blister inlay for Advent calendars)

For a packaging project, we created a high-precision 3D scan of a plastic thermoformed part (blister inlay) – as is typically used in Advent calendars as a mold for chocolate pieces.

The aim was to precisely digitize the shape geometry, including recesses, radii and transitions, in order to provide a reliable data basis for further technical processing.

The 3D scan is ideal for applications such as:

• Reverse engineering and CAD reconstruction

• Optimization of packaging forms

• Quality control and target/actual comparison

• Reproduction or adaptation of existing thermoforming tools

• Prototyping and production preparation

Especially for packaging parts with many small contours and recurring shapes, 3D scanning offers a fast and precise way to digitize existing components and significantly accelerate development processes.
