Industrial Design students observe, touch and learn how products are made inside local factories so they can apply this knowledge during school work and beyond.

Rotoplast: Group 1 visited the Rotational Moulding company in Farnham to see how thermoplastic products are produced. The students saw what can or cannot be moulded using this technology.  Group 2 also visited Rotoplast (2 days after).
