Tardigrade model

I think it would be a good idea if we were to make a physical (scaled up) model of a tardigrade. Due to its complexity I think we should most probably 3D model it and then rapid prototype it. If we're going to make a physical connection to the tardigrade via some kind of nanotechnology we best get an understanding of its form. Here is a website that has a model which we could purchase for $150 or at least base our own model on.

We could rapid prototype a small tardigrade model, and then techno router a larger model perhaps the size of a cat or so, about 10,000 time the size.
From here we can visualise how this may harbor our networking technology and also take some really good photographs with it

  1. i will make a solidworks model of one! much cheaper and i can make it in a day and then we can use that 150 on materials to 3d prototype it and techno it also. regards niquita
