[rp-ml] Swimming Fishing Lure Made using Extensive RP Technology

Chatham Research designed a new model of the GotStryper fishing lure aimed at catching bluefin tuna.? Initial results look very promising in that when first tested in November of 2008, several tuna were hooked and landed.? Typical size of the tuna caught was a nominal 150 pounds.
This particular version used ABS Plus from Stratasys as the master model from which silicone rubber molds were made.
To catch a look at the action achievable with the living hinges used in the lure, check out the following:
