SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the construction of a book scanning platform requiring a thin, clear sheet to hold pages open for imaging. Options considered include tempered glass, polycarbonate, and glass doubly-laminated with polycarbonate, with a focus on cost-effectiveness. The material must be compatible for attachment to a robotic arm for functionality. Recommendations include consulting local glass suppliers or university laboratories for sourcing materials.
