Formaplode: Further Developement

The project could be taken further by increasing the power dissipated through the electrohydraulic explosion, to enable the use of thicker workpieces and workpieces of harder materials. High speed photography could be conducted on workpieces during expansion to more accurately estimate strain rates. Applications for the manufacture of useful parts could be explored. Further dies should probably be made by CNC machining, as opposed to the method we used for our die: lost-wax casting of a 3D-printed part.
