Fractura

The protoype was made from a 100% recycled
LTTP (low temp thermoplastic) called EcoFit,
coming in flat sheets measuring 600mm x
900mm 9 casts care able to be CNC cut. In
actual production die cuts would be the most
suitable way of production in high numbers.
The design was intended to be comfortable,
waterproof, lightweight and non-intrusive.
The cast is able to withstand normal water
temperatures produced in the home, the shaped
design allows for ample movement of the thumb
and finger to allow gripping such as pens, the
plastic is lightweight due to the nature of the
material and the smooth plastic combined with
padding provides comfort.
The holes allow for ventilation and provide air flow
increasing hygiene whilst also providing a
carefully created interface as a guide for wrapping
the cast.
