Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing razor handles particularly for non- industrial scale manufacturing, in order to produce personalized razor handles.
- the handle may be formed by molding of different plastic resins such as polystyrene, polypropylene and phenylene oxide as well as elastomeric materials, colourants, stabilizers and fillers. These resins are typically provided in a pellet form which is melted and molded into the desired form using extrusion and injection molding techniques and processes.
- plastic resins such as polystyrene, polypropylene and phenylene oxide as well as elastomeric materials, colourants, stabilizers and fillers.
- 3D printers are known in the art to enable small scale or prototype printing of goods. Razor handles have also been described as being produced using 3D printing. However, such handles are typically simple handles or reproduction of designs already available in the market. A process to easily produce unique or personalized razor handles without expert knowledge particularly of CAD is not described. Moreover, such handles do not typically enable a satisfactory connection to commercially available razor cartridges and thus do not ensure a consumer desirable shaving experience.
- the present invention relates to a method to manufacture a personalized razor handle, said method comprising the steps of:
- Figure 1 Schematic overview of the manufacturing process of the invention.
- a method to manufacture a razor handle comprising the steps of:
- connection point for a razor cartridge in said 3D CAD file of said handle f) 3D printing said connection point and handle
- Any material which can be molded by the application of pressure and/or heat by a consumer or by the use of hand held tools such as chisels and the like to form a model is suitable for use in the method of the present invention.
- Suitable materials include modelling clays, paper mache, foams, wood, plastics and waxes. Particularly preferred are modelling clays.
- the handle model may comprise at least a portion of a hand print such as the palm of the hand.
- Such models may have an ergonomic form.
- the handle may be further personalized by the use of indicia or names. 3D cloud point and CAD files
- the model is scanned using a 3D scanner or digital photography software in order to create a 3D cloud point from said handle model.
- the 3D cloud point is then utilized to create a 3D CAD file of the model.
- Any commercially available 3D scanners may be used for the production of the cloud point such as the Matter & Form 3D scanner available from Matter & Form Inc., the MakerBot Digitizer available from MakerBot Industries LLC or the Artec Eva 3D Scanner available from Artec 3D.
- the resultant cloud point is optionally scanned for errors. It is then converted to a usable CAD file for optimal manipulation and printing.
- connection point to enable the handle to securely dock onto the cartridge.
- Such a connection point is created using 3D CAD file manipulation techniques.
- the resultant 3D CAD file is then optionally also scanned for errors.
- the connection points will vary depending on which commercial cartridge brand is to be utilized.
- the resultant 3D CAD file of the handle model and connection point is then converted into a .stl file in order for it to be 3D printed.
- Any suitable 3D printer may be used for example; the MakerBot Replicator Series, available from MakerBot Industries LLC, the Objet Eden Series, available from Stratasys Ltd., or the Forml available from Formlabs Inc.
- Such printers may use a variety of materials known in the art to print the product including but not limited to plastics including ABS and PLA, UV curable resins, metals, and ceramics.
- the resultant razor handle produced using the above method enables a user to readily produce a personalized model razor handle using commonly available materials and in the absence of manufacturing facilities but which is nevertheless functional.
- the dimensions and values disclosed herein are not to be understood as being strictly limited to the exact numerical values recited. Instead, unless otherwise specified, each such dimension is intended to mean both the recited value and a functionally equivalent range surrounding that value. For example, a dimension disclosed as "40 mm” is intended to mean "about 40 mm.”
