Premium Wine Bottle Shape Design

– PREMIUM WINE BOTTLE CAD / SOLIDWORKS DESIGN BRIEF We are developing a custom premium 750 ml glass wine bottle for our brand The objective is to create a fully manufacturable 3D CAD model that can later be submitted to a glass bottle manufacturer for prototype development and mold production. This is not only a rendering project. We need an engineering-grade CAD model suitable for industrial glass bottle manufacturing. 1. GENERAL BOTTLE DESIGN Capacity: * 750 ml nominal wine capacity * Actual internal volume must be calculated accurately Material: * Transparent / extra-clear glass General shape: * Premium/luxury appearance * Faceted body * Sculptural geometry * Facets should be refined and sophisticated rather than excessively aggressive * The bottle must remain realistic for industrial glass production The bottle design already exists visually and reference images will be supplied. The CAD model must reproduce the supplied design as faithfully as possible while adapting it where necessary for manufacturing feasibility. 2. FRONT DESIGN AREA The graphics do not necessarily need to be modeled into the glass unless specifically required. However, the front surface geometry must allow these elements to be applied cleanly by: * printing * screen printing * labeling or another decoration process. 3. GLASS THICKNESS AND STRUCTURAL DESIGN The designer must propose realistic glass thicknesses suitable for a premium wine bottle. Please take into consideration: * structural strength * bottle weight * stability * manufacturing feasibility * internal pressure is low because this is still wine, not sparkling wine * impact resistance during filling, shipping and retail handling Bottle weight should remain compatible with premium wine positioning without becoming unnecessarily heavy. The final glass weight will be validated with the glass manufacturer. 4. BOTTLE NECK The bottle neck must be engineered very carefully. The neck needs to be compatible with a premium wine closure. The CAD designer should therefore initially create a standard manufacturable wine bottle neck and provide enough flexibility for us to modify the neck finish later if necessary. The exact internal neck diameter, sealing surface and tolerance must be clearly dimensioned. Do not assume dimensions without discussing them with us first. 5. BOTTLE BOTTOM / PUNT The bottle will incorporate a special removable LED lighting module in the bottom. This is one of the most important parts of the CAD design. The bottle must remain perfectly stable when standing on a flat surface. The structural integrity of the glass around the central recess must be evaluated. Please suggest any necessary modification if the current dimensions create a manufacturing or strength problem. 6. MANUFACTURABILITY The model must be suitable for industrial glass production. Please consider: * mold parting lines * draft angles * minimum radii * realistic glass thickness * stress concentration * facet transitions * bottom stability * neck manufacturing * mold release * realistic geometry for blow-and-blow or narrow-neck press-and-blow manufacturing if applicable If any element of the visual design cannot realistically be manufactured in glass, please identify the problem and propose the closest manufacturable alternative. 7. REQUIRED DELIVERABLES We require the following files: 1. Native SolidWorks file * SLDPRT preferred 2. STEP file * STEP AP214 or AP242 3. High-resolution STL * suitable for prototype / 3D printing 4. IGES if possible 5. Fully dimensioned 2D technical drawing * PDF * DWG or DXF if possible 6. Section view of the bottle showing: * internal volume * wall thickness * neck * bottom structure * punt / LED recess 7. Exact internal capacity calculation 8. Overall dimensions: * total bottle height * maximum width * maximum depth * neck diameter * mouth diameter * internal neck diameter * base dimensions 9. Approximate glass volume / estimated bottle weight 10. Exploded or detailed view of the LED module recess area 8. PARAMETRIC MODEL The model should preferably be fully parametric. Important dimensions should be editable without rebuilding the entire model, including: * bottle height * body width * facet geometry * shoulder height * neck height * neck diameter * glass thickness * punt depth * LED recess diameter * LED recess depth 9. PROTOTYPE VERSION We would first like a prototype-ready version that can be produced using: * SLA * resin 3D printing * transparent resin or * CNC / rapid prototyping The purpose is to physically validate the proportions before committing to an expensive production glass mold. 10. REVISION PROCESS Please include at least: * Initial CAD model * Revision 1 * Revision 2 * Final manufacturing version We expect small dimensional and aesthetic adjustments after reviewing the first physical prototype. 11. CONFIDENTIALITY This bottle design is proprietary to OUR COMPANY The CAD files, geometry and design must remain confidential and must not be: * published * reused * resold * displayed in a public portfolio without written authorization An NDA can be provided if required. 12. QUOTATION REQUEST Please provide: * Fixed price for the complete project * Estimated number of working hours * Number of revisions included * Software used * Confirmation that native SolidWorks files will be supplied * Examples of previous bottle, packaging, glass or mold-related CAD work Please also confirm whether you have previous experience with: * glass bottle design * wine or spirits packaging * blow molding * glass molds * closure systems * production-ready CAD We will supply reference images of the existing bottle design. The priority is to preserve the visual identity of the bottle while creating a technically credible model that can be sent to a professional glass manufacturer for mold development.
