Initial study of immersion thermal manikin development and its manufacture from solid blocksPahole, Ivo (Avtor) Valentan, Bogdan (Avtor) Zavec Pavlinič, Daniela (Avtor) Ficko, Mirko (Avtor) Balič, Jože (Avtor) extreme environmentpersonal protective equipmentsafetythermal manikinArticle presents the development and manufacture of a new generation of thermal manikins that can be used for testing different personal protective equipment as used under extreme environmental conditions. The demonstrated steps from the initial idea towards the final product were taken with the help of modern CAD/CAM tools and CNC manufacturing procedures. This article also presents some of the problems that occurred and had to be solved during the designing, manufacturing and assembly of the thermal manikin.
