Thu, 23 May 2013 17:23:44 GMT Ponoko - All items tagged with high relief http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/awardpro/4102 I'm posting a new technique that employs a process I call 2-1/2 D laser etching in high relief. After multiple passes in the acrylic we hand polish the prototype after etching it, than make a silicon mold and reproduce exact copies. We use faux metal finishing techniques to produce a metallic finish that could fool most people. This is just an example of a technique that is possible on most lasers and employs using silicon mold making rubber and two-part casting resin which is available through most polymer supply companies. Polishing is done using a high speed cloth buffing wheel and a plastic polishing compound. Quality reproductions depend on a superior original prototype.<br></br><img alt="Acrylic11_showroom_image" src="http://static1.ponoko.com/design_images/images/1539/14462f72-db3f-3a7e-88db-2e09d918a5af/acrylic11_showroom_image.jpg?1268275450" /> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:25:42 GMT http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/awardpro/4102?time=Thu+Mar+11+02%3A41%3A50+UTC+2010 awardpro
