PARTIAL PROTOTYPE

SHEET METAL VS FABRIC

• Prototype includes ½ sheet metal & ½ fabric covering frame so that we can compare

• Sheet metal advantages: looks more like space hardware, longer lasting

• Fabric advantages: lower cost if free fabric is available, potentially easier fabrication, but requires sewing
