Acrylic QR stands for Wi-Fi access

The project

These tabletop stands bring together a QR code for Wi-Fi access and its accompanying information. Archicercle’s contribution focused on making the pieces: protecting the surface, cutting the outline, engraving and applying white paint to the engraved areas.

Work began with black acrylic and the application of a protective coating. This protection allowed specific areas to be painted later without marking the surrounding surface, preparing the piece for the selective finish on the QR code and text.

We then cut the outer outline with a CO₂ laser. A galvanometer laser was used to engrave the QR code and information on the front. The two processes served different purposes: cutting defined the perimeter of the piece, while engraving transferred the information onto its surface.

After engraving, we painted those areas white. The result combines a black stand with a contrasting QR code and text, keeping the Wi-Fi access information together in a tabletop object.

The protective coating is applied before cutting and engraving to allow selective painting afterwards.

White paint is applied to the engraved areas of the QR code and information text.
