A Method of Making Plastic Models of Fruit and Vegetables

Abstract

It is sometimes necessary to produce models of fruit and vegetables to demonstrate size and shape, or to illustrate defects. We have developed a method for making such models. The advantages of the method are as follows: it is simple and relatively cheap; unskilled personnel can do the work; the models are exceptionally durable; the fidelity of reproduction is very high, and the object modelled is recoverable in an undamaged condition.
