Hi both, I think this is the point where contacting the experts could really
make the difference. For example 3D printing an object then using the model to
create a mould to reproduce it in a more fitting material (for example) might
vastly reduce costs tbut still get you the feel/information you need
communicated.
aub.ac.uk have a great model making course and this is exactly the sort of
specialist model/matirials issue/brief that a student project could focus on.
Something to think about anyway.
