At that time 3D Printing supported us to develop a prototype. Even though the final product had been made with timber the 3D Printed casing helped us to take our product to the semi-final level of the competition. I wish to take this opportunity to thank present & all former Commissioners of the Sri Lanka Inventions Commission, & all staff of the Commission who are helpful & caring beyond words, at all times, for their encouragement, support & guidance given to me all this time. Special thank goes to RCS2 Technologies and Thrimána 3D Printing Team for giving a support to make the prototype of the product
