Building Blocks
Milestone missed
This Product Idea didn’t make it to the next milestone in time.

LEGO is made from a high grade plastic called ABS. It is time to give
this fantastic material the recognition it deserves for it has been fueling the
pleasure of children and guilty pleasure of AFOLs around the world since 1963!
ABS is an
impact-resistant thermoplastic and amorphous polymer. It is made up of three
monomers:
- Acrylonitrile
which contributes to chemical resistance and heat stability
- Butadiene
which delivers toughness and impact strength
- Styrene
which provides rigidity and processability
This model breaks the
plastic down in these 3 building blocks. The colours of the atoms match the CPK
colour convention. White for hydrogen, black for carbon and blue for nitrogen.
You are able to show the
model in 3 different ways: Wall mounted, as a tabletop or stand it upright.
Yes, this project is
pretty nerdy, but it definitely looks good in any LEGO-friendly home! So be
sure to support the building blocks of LEGO itself!
