In addition, the text covers the tooling and machinery used to fabricate with those products. There is no current text that distills this information down in a way that is specific to the types of projects encountered in the entertainment field; this volume endeavors to fill that void and help entertainment fabricators ensure a repeatable accurate finished products. The goal of the book is to introduce as many options as possible to help the reader decide the best tools and techniques to use to tackle the challenges that their projects most often present, or when faced with a new challenge, to help decide which tool or technique might be the best solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is intended to be a reference for technical designers, technical directors, shop managers, and prop or scenic fabricators working in various parts of the entertainment industry such as film, television, theatre, themed entertainment, exhibits, and immersive installation art.
