| Description | Developed a novel approach to prototyping looks-like prototypes with LEGO and low cost 3D printing. This approach reduces prototype fabrication time and reduces material usage. |
| Exploitation Route | My findings could be take forward by others to investigate how other combinations of prototyping techniques could be used to improve prototyping. Further work could also include ways to make the prototypes more functional with mechanisms or electronic components. |
