For this project AB RE built mould and prototypes of the new Armani/Roca bathtub to be presented as
"première", at the 2010 Milan Furniture Fair. We worked on:
- 3D modelling for mould design,
- Preparation of the CNC master piece for mould building,
- GRP Plug mould,
- Glass fibre reinforced Polyester prototypes with metallic inserts for fixing the support structure,
- Post-painted prototypes to colour range.
