How to Design a Spray Bottle Using 3D CAD Software

Spray bottles are a common household item, but their design involves a combination of smooth curves, precise dimensions, and functional components, all of which make them a great challenge for 3D modeling. With SelfCAD’s versatile design tools and user-friendly interface, creating a realistic spray bottle becomes an ideal exercise for learning how to combine organic shapes with mechanical design. From the ergonomic bottle body to the detailed nozzle mechanism, this project offers a well-rounded experience for both beginners and intermediate designers.

This article will guide you through the process of designing a spray bottle in SelfCAD, using a mix of basic shapes and fine detailing. Each step will demonstrate how to build complex forms from simple geometry, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and practical structure. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll not only have a fully modeled spray bottle but also a deeper understanding of how to use SelfCAD to design real-world objects with precision and creativity
