CUSP Wheel
This project for one of the local universities is a sphere of about 8 foot diameter that had to be accurate in all dimensions and able to handle high point loads without deforming (while being spun on rollers).
To keep costs manageable we strip planked the plug, to templates, then laminated the female tool as 1/4 sphere. Finally the sphere sections themselves were moulded.
