Modern Titanium Teapot & Stove Set
This titanium teapot product development project delivered a food-grade pure titanium teapot and stove set, covering industrial design, structural engineering, functional prototyping, packaging design and mold development.
Project Background
Health-conscious consumption is on the rise, and consumers have higher requirements for the material safety and functionality of tea sets. Traditional tea sets are fragile and prone to heavy metal precipitation. Titanium is safe, lightweight and has a premium texture, making it suitable for diverse scenarios. This was the starting point for our titanium teapot product development work, which carries both cultural and market value.
Solution
Solution: Innovative Design of Titanium Teapot
A. Safety and Durability Design
- Food-grade pure titanium inner liner compliant with GB 4806.9 (China national food safety standard for metal materials and articles in contact with food), with no heavy metal precipitation.
- Integrated stamping forming process (no welding seams,leak-proof and easy to clean).
- Corrosion-resistant to long-term soaking in 100°C boiling water, offers a longer service life than traditional ceramic and glass tea sets than traditional tea sets
B. Scene adaptation optimization
- Lightweight design (single kettle weight ≤350g)
- Double-layer titanium vacuum structure (outer layer for heat protection,inner layer for heat preservation for 6 hours/cold preservation for 12 hours)
- -Micro-arc oxidation surface treatment (presents a frosted metallic texture, and can be engraved with traditional patterns such as landscapes and bamboo patterns)
We followed a structured, phase-by-phase process to move the titanium teapot from an initial concept to a validated, manufacturable design. Each phase had clear deliverables before the next one began.
Step 1. Product Definition & Material Strategy
Step 2. Industrial Design
We developed the product form, proportions and CMF direction, balancing a premium modern aesthetic with traditional tea-culture visual language.
Step 3. Structural & Mechanical Engineering
Step 4. Functional Prototyping
We built functional prototypes to validate weight, heat and cold retention, leak-proof sealing and the micro-arc oxidation surface finish.
Step 5. Mold Development
We supported mold design and trial molding, refining the structure based on trial results to ensure the parts could be produced consistently.
Step 6. Mass Production & Quality Control Support

Project Results
The titanium teapot product development project resulted in a production-ready design validated through functional prototypes:
• A food-grade pure titanium design with a seamless stamped inner liner and no welding seams
• Functional prototypes validating product weight, leak-proof sealing and thermal performance
• A double-layer vacuum structure providing heat retention for 6 hours and cold retention for 12 hours
• A micro-arc oxidation surface finish with custom traditional-pattern engraving such as landscapes and bamboo
• Mold development and trial molding supported to prepare the product for production
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is included in OPD Design's titanium teapot product development service?
Our service covers industrial design, mechanical and structural design, functional prototyping, packaging design and mold development, taking the project from the initial concept through production preparation.
2. Can you develop teapots from titanium and other specific food-contact materials?
Yes. We support material selection and product development for titanium and other food-contact metals, considering material safety, structural design and manufacturability from the early stages.
3. Can you support food-contact certification and compliance?
Yes. We consider relevant food-contact material standards during development and assist with certification preparation based on your target market. The standard reference should be confirmed by our engineering team before publication.
4. What is the typical timeline for a project like this?
The timeline depends on design complexity, the number of prototyping rounds, mold requirements and certification. We provide a phased plan and schedule after reviewing your product requirements.
5. Do you support both prototyping and mass production?
Yes. We deliver functional and design-validation prototypes, then support mold development, trial molding and mass production manufacturing in Shenzhen.
