Hello
A few years ago we used SLA to make a visual prototype of a "Freddo Frog".
Freddo Frog is a chocolate snack in the shape of a frog character (an
Australian favourite). We also had to do the 3D CAD solid modelling from an
artist 2D impression. After our clients approved the SLA master model, we
then made a silicone tool and cast several "real" chocolate samples.
Great thing about RP and food is that you get to ask for samples before the
project... and the make your own samples after the project...!
Kind regards
