Abstract With 40 centuries of Olympic tradition looking down upon them, engineers from Georgia Tech and a company specializing in SLA prototypes had only eight months to put their heads together and create the torches used to carry the flame to the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City. The torch was designed to resemble an icicle, with its body tapered using antique silver finish and dark-shaded grooves running from top to bottom. The outer shell was made from aluminum plating that produced a high-polished chrome finish. For the first time, the Olympic torch was topped with a glass crown where the flame emerges from a small copper cauldron inside the handle. It took an interdisciplinary team eight months to build, test and manufacture the three-pound, 31-inch tall torch. XX
