HOW DO YOU MAKE AN ACRYLIC AWARD?
Acrylic custom awards have immense variety. However, most adhere to the following manufacturing process.
Chemicals are heated and mixed to form the liquid acrylic compound. Any necessary color is added.
The acrylic mixture is poured into a mold and rests for a few hours to harden. If the piece’s final shape cannot be achieved with a mold, we cast a mold for the piece’s size and machine it later.
The previous steps are repeated if the design requires different colors of acrylic. Also, embedded elements would be inserted in between pouring separate layers.
Once hardened, the piece is placed in a pressurized oven to cure and remove air bubbles.
For a piece that needs to be sculpted to its final shape, we now use computerized machines to carve it and ensure precision.
We sand the piece. We preemptively size the piece larger than its final dimensions. We do this to anticipate loss during the curing and sanding processes.
We buff and polish the piece to deliver a high-quality shine.
If requested, we will personalize the piece with finishing touches like digital printing and laser engraving.
