Looking for a miracle material?!
As the title suggests, looking for a very niche material that I am STRUGGLING to find a solution for that ticks all our boxes
I am wanting to manufacture mannequins, and my material wants are:
- Can be rotocasted at room temp
- Durable and impact resistant
- Lightweight
- Sustainable
Rotocasted at room temp is probably one of the bigger ones, as it’s a low set up cost machinery and low cost moulds, but also isn’t adding power or gasses to the manufacturing process, and is somewhat fast production
So far the only things I have found are either a Poly Urethane resin (thermoformed so it is not the most sustainable) or casting powders like Jesmonite (which are sustainable but heavier and more brittle, even with reinforced fibres)
Does anyone know of another material that could work? Or do I have to compromise on something?
