Pocket‑Sized NFC Container
I’ve been exploring ways to merge CAD modeling, 3D printing, and smart technology.
This pocket‑sized NFC container demonstrates that blend: a custom‑modeled case with cavities in the base and lid to securely hold an NFC chip.
What NFC Adds
NFC transforms a simple container into a smart marketing tool — perfect for shops, Etsy sellers, and makers who want instant digital engagement.
Near Field Communication (NFC) allows a phone or reader to trigger actions when tapped.
For shops and makers, this means:
- Linking directly to your website or Etsy store
- Sharing social media profiles instantly
- Providing product authentication or special offers
- Supporting multiple automations or URLs on a single chip
By embedding the chip into a physical container, you get a smart product that bridges digital and physical worlds.
How I Made It
- CAD Modeling: Designed the container with precise cavities for the chip.
- 3D Printing: Printed the base and lid using durable filament.
- Integration: Inserted the NFC chip into the cavity for a snug fit.
- Demo: Scanned with a phone to trigger shop links and automations.
