RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: Main challenge are shape designs and production of stainless steel. Design of the shape by single piece sheet material is the greatest challenge. Finding the right shape for good support and good strength is critical in concept phase and took the longest time. When proced to production trial , the surface quality is another huge challenge because the steel surface are easily scratch during stamping process and hand polishing is introcuce to solve the problem.
