RT journal article T1 Custom Design of Packaging through Advanced Technologies: A Case Study Applied to Apples A1 Rodríguez Parada, María Lucía A1 Mayuet Ares, Pedro Francisco A1 Gámez López, Antonio Juan A2 Ingeniería Mecánica y Diseño Industrial K1 food packaging; customization K1 product design K1 personalized design K1 reverse engineering K1 computer aid design (CAD) K1 fused deposition modelling (FDM) AB In the context of food packaging design, customization enhances the value of a productby meeting consumer needs. Personalization is also linked to adaptation, so the properties ofthe packaging can be improved from several points of view: functional, aesthetic, economic andecological. Currently, functional and formal properties of packaging are not investigated in depth.However, the study of both properties is the basis for creating a new concept of personalized andsustainable product. In accordance with this approach, a conceptual design procedure of packagingwith personalized and adapted geometries based on the digitization of fresh food is proposed inthis work. This study is based on the application of advanced technologies for the design anddevelopment of food packaging, apples in this work, in order to improve the quality of the packaging.The results obtained show that it is possible to use advanced technologies in the early stages ofproduct design in order to obtain competitive products adapted to new emerging needs.
