Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a porous device for diffusing a fragrance using additive manufacturing including iteratively spreading a loose powder and selecting at least one process parameter to create a porosity within the porous device adapted to carry the fragrance from a fragrance reservoir to an exterior surface of the porous device. An additively manufactured device for diffusing a fragrance includes a diffuser having a plurality of pores defining a porosity of the diffuser, the porosity defining at least one of a rate of absorption, an amount of storage, and a rate of diffusion of the fragrance. A method of using a porous device includes filling the plurality of pores with fragrance and diffusing the fragrance from an exterior surface.

Abstract: A cosmetic preparation system may provide a diagnostic or shade matching tool, a dispenser unit, and a mixer unit. The diagnostic or shade matching tool may identify a user skin type and customize one or more ingredients to create a custom blend composition. The dispenser unit may dispense ingredients and prepare the custom blend composition in containers of various sizes. The mixer unit may provide a mixing assembly to mix the one or more ingredients using gyroscopic mixing.
