Abstract
A manufacturing process for three-dimensionally printing cosmetic products, and/or custom facial mask applicators using makeup powder as a fabrication medium. The process may use the versatile nature of makeup powder ingredients to stretch the usability of a makeup powder mixture across many platforms of facial cosmetics. The process may create custom, digital files that can be manufactured with high resolution, high complexity, and with a full spectrum of colors using Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliant cosmetic grade dye. In particular, full-face makeup mask applicators that are based on an exact three-dimensional scan of the user's face.
Claims21
A method of manufacturing a makeup product using a three dimensional printing process, the method comprising:
- selecting, through a digital interface, a three-dimensional digital model comprising a cosmetic form and a structural form adjacent to the cosmetic form;
- selecting one or more colors from a digital color map within the digital interface for at least part of the cosmetic form of the three-dimensional digital composition model;
- and
- depositing multiple makeup powder layers on a powder bed within a print chamber to create at least one cosmetic compositional three-dimensional object, the cosmetic compositional three-dimensional object comprising:
- a structural outer layer solidified using an outer layer binder deposited through a first print head in accordance with the structural form of the three-dimensional digital model, and
- at least one consumable color cosmetic inner layer formed using an inner layer binder deposited through a second print head in accordance with the cosmetic form of the three-dimensional digital model,
- wherein the at least one consumable color cosmetic inner layer is adjacent to the structural outer layer, and
- wherein the inner layer binder comprises a cosmetic colorant.
A method of manufacturing a makeup product using a three dimensional printing process, the method comprising:
- scanning an individual's face using a three-dimensional scanner and generating a three-dimensional digital rendering;
- digitally applying a cosmetic design to the three-dimensional digital rendering generated from the individual's face;
- inverting the three-dimensional digital rendering to create a three-dimensional digital model for a cosmetic mask applicator having a dimensional shape of the users face, the three-dimensional digital model comprising a structural outer form adjacent to a color cosmetic form;
- removing at least one section of the three-dimensional digital model to improve a fit of the cosmetic mask applicator;
- and
- depositing multiple makeup powder layers on a powder bed within a print chamber to create the cosmetic mask applicator, the cosmetic mask applicator comprising:
- a structural outer layer solidified using an outer layer binder deposited through a first print head in accordance with the structural form of the three-dimensional digital model, and
- at least one consumable cosmetic inner layer formed using an inner layer binder deposited through a second print head in accordance with the cosmetic form of the three-dimensional digital model,
- wherein the at least one consumable color cosmetic inner layer is adjacent to the structural outer layer, and
- wherein the inner layer binder comprises a cosmetic colorant.
A method of manufacturing a makeup product using a three-dimensional printing process, the method comprising:
- capturing color information data of an individual's face;
- selecting, through a digital interface, a three-dimensional digital model comprising a cosmetic form and a structural form adjacent to the cosmetic form;
- selecting one or more colors from a digital color map based on the color information data of the individual's face for at least part of the cosmetic form of the three-dimensional digital composition model;
- and
- depositing multiple makeup powder layers on a powder bed within a print chamber to create a cosmetic compositional three-dimensional object, the cosmetic compositional three-dimensional object comprising:
- a structural outer layer solidified using an outer layer binder deposited through a first print head in accordance with the structural form of the three-dimensional digital model, and
- at least one consumable cosmetic inner layer formed using an inner layer binder deposited through a second print head in accordance with the cosmetic form of the three-dimensional digital model,
- wherein the at least one consumable color cosmetic inner layer is adjacent to the structural outer layer, and
- wherein the inner layer binder comprises a cosmetic colorant.
