Product formulation is about creating the best new or enhanced products in a short time, while guaranteeing availability of the lowest cost materials. In addition, changing regulatory laws and constant innovation in product forms demand an adaptable development framework for formulating, batching, and scaling of products in collaborative environments.

The unified system provided by Formulation Design ensures that costly mistakes are avoided. It gives research and development teams secure access to the current and historical product development data, allowing them to take full advantage of their company’s intellectual property. For example, the ability to reduce raw material costs during the development phase has a direct and positive impact on a company’s bottom line. The developers of Formulation Design have used their extensive domain expertise to create an exceptional enterprise solution to build, manage, label, and launch formulated products.

Formulation Design is a validated, electronic formulation notebook that captures product development information and automates complex formula calculations. It implements a single portal that contains all the information that follows a formula in its product development life cycle.

With Formulation Design, you can:

  • Store all formulations and product information on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, providing a secure, version-controlled central repository inside the organisation.

  • Specify and track a formula's performance and integrity based on benchmarks that are identified in the early stages of product design.

  • Review the total cost of a formula, and the cost of each individual material in it, to identify areas for cost optimization.
  • Mark a formula as complete, so that it can be used as an ingredient in other formulas.

  • Retain formula development information that you can monitor and control.

  • View and edit multiple formulas in a single view, enabling straightforward comparison and updating of formulas that are related to each other.

  • Review the full bill of substance for a formula, to confirm that the product meets health and safety regulations.
  • Generate a list of the ingredients used in a formula, that can be provided to to the label and artwork team.
  • Prepare a mix of ingredients, some of which will be used in the main formula, so that you can create multilayered formulations such as tablets.
