Systems and methods of forming and analyzing a dissolvable article are provided herein. In an embodiment, a method of forming a dissolvable article with excellent dissolution performance includes heating a dissolvable composition that includes a water-soluble block copolymer at heating conditions that are sufficient to render the copolymer flowable and to form a hot melt composition. The water-soluble block copolymer is solid at ambient conditions. The method further includes solidifying the dissolvable composition to form the dissolvable article. A surface of the dissolvable article is analyzed for surface texture using a three-dimensional imaging device to produce a data set that is representative of the surface texture. If the data set fails to at least equal a predetermined threshold value, the method further includes reformulating the dissolvable composition to form a reformulated dissolvable composition.
