Color Exploration

After deciding to stick with a single colored acrylic, there were options but landed on a magenta-colored acrylic for the final piece, giving it a vibrant, eye-catching finish.

Prototyping

Laser cutting was used for the final prototypes, and a rubber/silicone mold was used to produce the common components used throughout the set.
