Hi,
Neat website! And your links are fantastic, especially the ones to the
Japanese LEGO sites. I desperately want to go there to score some cool LEGO
stuff.
Anyway, my question is, have you ever considered using Rapid Prototyping
technology to make your parts? It’s still very expensive, but it would cost
less than making an injection mold. How many pieces would be in a typical
“production run” of (let’s say) beards? More or less than 100?
You could probably pack at least that many in a typical RP machine’s build
envelope. Stratasys Dimension makes parts out of ABS. You’d still have to
clean them up, but they’d be pretty hard, just like LEGO.

I’m curious about the rapid prototyping. Little Armory
http://www.littlearmory.com made items in the past by hand making a master.
But a new round of items is coming that I had suspected where being designed via
some form of CAD and then mastered via something that I had seen at JPL a number
of years ago that was used to make visual prototypes of parts via resin from CAD
models. How much would it cost to just make one set of masters that could then
be used for traditional injecting molding?
