Fabrication

Leading fabricators Ino-Plaz pride themselves as being a British company at the forefront of acrylic design and fabrications, choosing Perspex® cast acrylic for its superior quality and the fact that, like their goods, the product is manufactured here in the UK.  Working with Perspex® has enabled Ino-plaz to lead their field in innovative concepts and designs.

As part of their relationship with Turning Leaf Furniture Specialists Ltd, Ino-plaz has been asked to produce a range of bespoke lecterns.  They were recently presented with a brief for a mobile lectern to house a 22″ touch screen and microphone mounts into the lectern top, as well as hardware and cables for AV equipment storage.

After firstly producing accurate 3D visuals in house, the end product was produced with a gloss opal Perspex® base unit and clear Perspex® cast acrylic for the top.  Perspex® cast acrylic was chosen due its hard wearing qualities needed for a moveable product, whilst also enabling it to be formed and fabricated into a modern sleek design.

Ino-plaz offer the full range of fabrication services to create all manner of Perspex® products - including laser cutting, polishing and drape forming - with every item receiving meticulous attention.

Continually pushing the boundaries of creativity, Ino-plaz always look for innovative solutions for production requests.  In fact, Ino-plaz have just finished installing shooting range markers for Humberside Police using fluorescent Perspex® to ensure it is highly visible for users.

Fabrication

Hull based approved fabricators Ino-plaz recently completed a challenging hanging sculpture bringing together fabricated Perspex® clear acrylic and dichroic film.  Fusing art with their innovative fabrication techniques, the team produced a unique colour changing  centrepiece  suspended from the double height ceiling of the Ron Dearing University Technical College (UTC) in Kingston-upon-Hull.

Each disc is manufactured from 10mm clear Perspex® acrylic, oven formed to 1 of 3 different curves. Each disc was then covered in dichroic film, each measuring a minimum of 1 metre in diameter.

Oven drape forming was performed in house at Ino-plaz and enabled them to use identical moulds for each of the 3 curves being replicated within the design.

The dichroic film changes colour when viewed from different angles and gives each disc a rainbow colour that changes upon viewing angle and even time of day. The stimulating floating sculpture creates a talking point and inspiration for the colleage specialising in mechatronics and digital technology.

Ino-plaz offer over 14 different services from acrylic fabrication to CAD work and pride themselves on their bespoke capabilities.  With a design reliant on physics and mathematics yet creating a delicate inspiring rainbow colour, the UTC  project demonstrates the capabilities of Ino-plaz perfectly.
