Plastic prototypes for display cases
Sports display cases come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This has proved to be of great use to many a collector. Some collectors though need more options. This can be easily sorted by contacting a plastics part manufacturer.
Unlike glass display cases, acrylic plastic cases are durable. They can also have smooth or flowing corners. This is because individual pieces need not be put together to make up a case. A method known as plastics injection molding is employed to construct these cases. Therefore using a mold, manufactures can come up with interesting shapes for display cases. Although not limitless, it does offer a more viable solution than glass at designing custom shapes.
This allows collectors to specify certain shapes of sizes to manufacturers. Once the design has been understood, the manufacturer will produce one or more plastic prototypes. Based on these prototypes, further manufacturing can take place. If the design is practical and aesthetically pleasing to the eye, the collector can even get them mass produced thereafter and sell them.
Acrylic is fast becoming the desired material of choice for display cases. A fact that many may not know is that it has a ninety three percent transparency rate. The transparency rate of glass is actually lower and you can notice this in very thick glass, because it will have a light green tinge. Unlike cheaper plastics, acrylic does not turn brittle, yellow or even crack with time. These qualities and others make endorse the popularity it has in the sports display case market.
