Products	Shaver, rechargeable
	This shaver shows how soft rubber-like plastic is integrated with hard plastic. It also illustrates that it is realistic to produce strong, thin, sharp cutting blades with a complex geometry. The green rubber-like parts are produced by multicolour injection moulding using PP for a stiff basis and SEBS plastics for the rubber-like surface. The hard blue part of the cover is injection moulded in ABS plastic. The blades are made by electroforming.
