THE BALM KEYCHAIN
3D Design to Production
Burt’s Bees requested a 3D production mold for their new silicone chapstick keychain.
Never forget your lip balm again.
The video was posted on Burt’s Bees Instagram account showing the versatility of the keychain &
how it can go anywhere & everywhere with you.
3D DESIGN PROCESS
Using Rhino8 & Adobe Dimension
The keychain mold was designed in Rhino8 with exact specifications and detailing. I then imported it into Adobe Dimension to produce client-facing renderings. Once the design was approved, I sent the 3D setup file to the factory, they used it to produce the silicone chapstick keychain.
The video offers a quick view into my process of building the mold in Rhino8.
The video shows the 3D structure with graphics before I rendered it to be a photorealistic image.

3D technical drawings
The visuals below show the 3D technical drawings that I produced for the factory after creating the silicone mold to ensure that all dimensions were followed exactly. The image on the left is the mold that the client ended up selecting while the image on the right shows a second option I presented to them.
