    INDUSTRIAL LABELLING OPTIMIZATION PROJECT
    Expanding Machine Capabilities
    A client’s labelling system could only handle 125mm-wide containers — not enough for 5L bottles.
    We stepped in to:
  • Redesign a custom part to extend width support
  • Moldeling using CAD/CAM programs
  • Print it with industrial PLA using the Markforged X7
  • Result: larger containers are now labelled automatically, with no major equipment change.
    PACKAGING AUTOMATION FOR IRREGULAR CONTAINERS PROJECT
    From Manual to Automated Filling
    The client’s filling system only supported flat-based containers, forcing manual work for special formats.
    Our solution:
  • Design and print a custom support for round-bottom containers
  • Enable stable movement along the conveyor
  • Automate the filling of 10,000 units previously done by hand
  • More pilots in progress…!
    The HealthTech Portugal Test Bed continues to support new projects in digital health, medical devices, AI in healthcare, and beyond.
