Blog #7

In today's lesson, we watched a 15 minute video called plastics and design. It was about a company and how they go about designing a new drink bottle. Here are some of the notes I took while watching the video...

VIDEO REPORT- Plastics and design:

- polypropylene is easy to use, keeps its shape and is microwaveable
- the die is the mold the plastic goes into
- plastics can be used for nearly anything
- hot plastic is injected into moulds, solidifies quickly, then the mould separates and releases the plastic.
