The introduction of white LEDs has given designers and lighting experts the scope of creating environments in commercial applications where intense or subtle variations of light can be achieved.

However standard acrylic diffusers were not suitable for the intense concentration of light generated by LEDs. Perspex® Spectrum LED is a specialist cast acrylic sheet with optimised colour performance created to meet the needs of today’s sign market. It enables sign makers, specifiers and designers to enjoy the benefits of LEDs and create elegant solutions that are cost and eco-efficient, whilst enhancing intensity and colour.

 Aluminium Composite Panels (ACM) offer the sign exhibition, display and furniture industries, the option of using a rigid gloss or matt surface for their diverse applications. Aluminium Composite Panels consist of a thermoplastic polyethylene core that is sandwiched between two outer flat aluminium panels. The polyethylene core is bonded between the 2 aluminium sheets providing a very lightweight, smooth, flat and rigid sheet. The Aluminium Composite Sheet can be coated with a number of coatings depending on the end use, From PVDF or polyester paint. The Aluminium Composite sheets are produced in a wide selection of colours including gloss, metallic and patterns.

We are excited that the Barker College Redbacks team has achieved incredible results in the international First Robotics Competition (FRC) representing Australia with distinction.

Allplastics Engineering assisted the Barker College Redbacks team by providing sponsorship for various engineering plastics used in the construction of the robot shown in the attached photos and video. These included polycarbonate panels, Nylon rod, and glass filled PTFE rods.
