HOW WE MADE OUR NEW BLADES TROPHIES

THE NEW BLADES TROPHY PROJECT
It can all start with a simple sketch.
We can convert to a file suitable for laser or any of our Workshop Services.
The top of the trophy laser cut in 4mm clear acrylic.
The bases of the trophy routed from 20mm MDF, sanded and sealed.
The bases were then undercoated with Tetrosyl grey primer.
The bases were then sprayed with Black Satin Spraypaint.
We designed a cover for the base using a cutting mat as inspiration, to be photoetched in copper.
A Photoetching transparency was then made to transfer the design onto the copper sheet.
We then etched the copper using our controlled etching technique which allows us to etch the 4D logo deeper then the grid pattern. This keeps the logo very bold and the cutting mat pattern very crisp.
Next was the photoetching artwork for the scalpel blades and name plaques.
We photoetched the name plaques in copper.
The scalpel blades were etched in nickel silver.
We then assembled the first trophy.
Followed by the other 14.
Finally we needed to assemble 100 graduates in order to find a model maker worthy of such a magnificant prize.
