I wonder how he shaped industrial-looking containers out of plastic, from home?That part of the invention process has always baffled me...how does a person, without a factory, manufacture a prototype for an item that will be factory-made? Anyone know? Business lesson appreciated! IP: Logged |

I can't hear the video at work.As for ideas on how to self-create plastic things, a couple ways come to mind. One is creating a mold, and using resin. The other is the new 3D printing technology. 3D printing would be the easier route if you know how to use design software. I know that a wide variety of materials can be used with the 3D printers, but I'm not certain if the black microwave plastic is one of the materials. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRv4jp-hhBE IP: Logged |

the money part can be solved by persuading an investor - private or govt - to stump up. indeed there are govt programs and private organizations set up for just this sort of financial solution.IP: Logged |
