What is poly morph its properties and uses
Special plastic often used in modelling stays white and bar at room temp but can be softened at 60 Celsius ideal for constructing complex shaped models / prototype
What is nano technology
Method of changing atomic structure to make materials less expensive lighter and stronger and more precise
