(5) major sections:- Upper shell- Lower shell- Thumb rest- Side toggle- Middle switchFrom the 3D printing standpoint, the primary design intent was to show following PolyJet capabilities:- “Create smooth, detailed prototypes that convey final-product aesthetics.”- “Produce accurate molds, jigs, fixtures and other manufacturing tools.”- “Achieve complex shapes, intricate details and delicate features.”
