Any tips on reproducing the cut pattern? We have been calipering all the tote lip elements and transferring them to posterboard...it is slow going! Next we would do cardboard prototypes and finally cut the pattern out of aluminum sheet stock. Maybe we're overthinking it.

I don't know what kind of CAD capabilities you have, but if you have the ability to use a CAD software you could download the tote and use that to help you create the shape.
