Today, upon manufacturing the sheet of PLA, the group has determined that the current method did not work. The melting process took much longer than anticipated and the PLA did not have the viscosity that the group had hoped.
Today, the group met with Dr. Palmese and he suggested that the group use a method involving heating, then compressing the PLA to create sheets of a desired thickness. The group will be attempting this on 5/9/12.
