Hi All,
Bit of a strange request,but its worth asking. I'm looking at commissioning a small press here at work, and I need to design a tool to make a generic component that we can use lots of different materials, including thermoplastics, prepregs and probably SMC materials.

The secondary use of the 'generic part' will be as a marketing tool and probably as a giveaway at shows, what would you like as a nice carbon part free of charge? Already frisbees have been thrown about as an idea, but there is already a company making them at the shows, and I would like to make something a bit more useful or entertaining.
Anyone got any ideas? If its a good idea and I eventually make them I will make sure you get one in the post Smile

Cheers
Garry

It's an option. One of the other things I'm looking good at is something for the office like a wrist rest for the keyboard or a novel looking drinks holder.
I'm still looking at something like a face mask as I can incorporate some nice features. Or maybe even a rc car body?
Keep the suggestions coming in. I'm trying to write up the project justification at the moment, which is a pain in the rear.
