Research and Development Never Tasted So Good

Research and development never tasted so good. Here's a preview from the laboratory. Of course, if you want to stay posted on our progress on the Cookie Dunker Cup, check back in on the blog or sign up here.

The photos are of a prototype that was made using the SLA process. In SLA, a laser beam travels back and forth over a vat of light sensitive resin and the cured plastic rises up out of the tub. The prototype isn't particularly cheap, but it's a cost effective way of getting photo quality stand in parts without committing to a full production run of injected molded plastic.

Our next steps are to tint the clear plastic using the techniques we described in our previous blog post. From there, we'll be getting ready for our photo shoot.
