Alan.... my chuckling mind was limited to a metal chassis and a wooden outer body! It was styled by Ikea
and possibly available in flat-pack!
We would call it the "Sven"!
Gaw’d knows what you were imagining!
I suppose my idea would have to be bonded together with clever resins!
Now then? Have we missed something here? What are Zeiss specialists in?
Glass!
What are Kyocera specialists in?
Ceramics! (Kyoto Ceramics = Kyocera .... Doh!)
What about a metal-free chassis, we have glass experts and ceramics experts ..... Why do we need metal or polycarbonates?
RTS III vacuum film plates flatter and more stable than metal. Formula 1 car bodies stronger than steel.... or titanium etc. Am I just dreaming?
OK! In the real world..... people worry about the weight of the RTS III or the bulk (size) of the AX.
Work it out in numbers of Big Macs ...... it ain't that much of a problem is it?
Alan ..... in a previous message you stated ....
"Choice of materials is only one aspect of good engineering. Which is best really depends on what your criteria for "best" is."
Plastic, (sorry polycarbonate), metal, glass, ceramics ..... who decides? ...... who buys?
