ACRYLICS.CA

Problem: The University of Toronto’s Chemistry department required a container appropriate for storing hazardous materials.  They came to us, and we began work on an enlosure specifically designed to withstand the effects of harsh chemicals.

Solution: We decided to use 1/4″ acrylic in the panels of the NIMA box, and added openings according to our customer’s specifications.  The case features a hinged front door, metal catches, an acrylic handle, and openings on the front and sides to accomodate various tubes.  We produced a drawing of the NIMA box within about two hours, and five business days later the enclosure was completed.

Problem:  General Electric Corporation asked us to create a next-generation podium.  The podium or lectern had to be portable and reflect GE®’s modernity.  They wanted a formal, sleek and professional look.  The GE® logo was required to be a color change item.

Solution: After some consultation, we opted to design in Lexan®, using both clear and translucent blue sheet in a 3/8″ thickness:  GE® colors.  The clear and blue sheet is GE®’s very own, they pioneered it and it is more commonly known as, “bullet proof glass”  –  a beautiful, super-tough material.  Here we’ve married colored Lexan® with an LED edge-lit, lasered logo front and center.  The entire podium collapses into a portable unit.  Simple and elegant. Our design is open and the podium is currently available for fabrication.  Please inquire.

Problem:  Create a security cabinet for a Nintendo Wii.  The enclosure must be lockable, secured to a desktop, be able to exchange discs and power the unit on and off without opening and closing the front bay door continuously.

Solution:   Nintendo WII security cabinet from Acrylics.ca.  We were able to draw this unit for our customer within a few hours of receiving our Nintendo WII for measurements.   A great little unit!  Available for sale in our catalog.

We plan to use this blog to illustrate some of our latest designs in plastic.  Our focus for the short term will be offering satellite products in white acrylic for computers and peripherals.
