Share:

01 Business Type

If you are in one of these business types, this case is for you:

  • Hot spring hotels
  • Luxury resorts
  • Spas
  • Wellness centers

02 Project Overview

Products: Custom Hot Spring Bathtub
We received a request via email from a client who needed a large hot spring bathtub with a wide rim design, capable of accommodating 4-6 people. Based on the client’s requirements, we designed an integrated 3D model and developed the final product.

03 Challenges

1. Unique and Functional Design:

  • Challenge: The client provided only a concept with overall dimensions and the requirement for a wide rim, intended for 4-6 users.
  • Solution: Designed a unique pentagon-shaped bathtub to ensure enough legroom for multiple users, incorporating internal circular seating with appropriate seat and backrest heights based on average human dimensions.

2. Large Size and Double-Layer Construction:

  • Challenge: Creating a double-layer bathtub with a diameter of 1880mm, which was a first for our factory, requiring precise and professional assembly.
  • Solution: Utilized a skilled workforce to handle the delicate and detailed assembly process, ensuring a stable and robust structure.

3. Structural Integrity and Water Management:

  • Challenge: Ensuring the bathtub could support the weight of water and users without compromising structural integrity. This included integrating overflow systems and managing high water pressure.
  • Solution: Incorporated internal supports to maintain structural stability and custom-designed overflow drains to prevent water from spilling over the edges. Developed a custom drain plug to withstand the high water pressure when the bathtub is full.

4. Packaging and Transportation:

  • Challenge: Safely packaging and transporting a 470kg bathtub.
  • Solution: Designed custom packaging with a reinforced steel structure on the bottom pallet to ensure safe transportation.

04 Solutions

1. Collaborative Design Development:

  • Created detailed drawings and a 3D model based on the client’s concept, ensuring all design elements were clearly defined and approved.

2. Advanced Fabrication Techniques:

  • Employed skilled technicians for the delicate assembly of the large, double-layer bathtub.
  • Used precision tools and methods to ensure a seamless and robust final product.

3. Comprehensive Client Support:

  • Provided extensive support and communication throughout the design and production process, including detailed documentation and installation guides.
