The project
IBC Solar’s work provided the reference for personalised trophies incorporating a component resembling a small solar panel. Archicercle manufactured the trophies, combining engraved acrylic, painting and bespoke MDF bases.
Each trophy brings together three elements: a thin acrylic plate, a thicker main acrylic piece and an MDF base. The thin plate is engraved to resemble a miniature solar panel, making the reference to the energy sector part of the object itself.
The main acrylic piece carries the recipient’s name, the IBC logo and other details. Both this personalisation and the pattern on the thin plate were engraved using a galvanometer laser system. Painting followed the engraving to highlight the details on the main piece.
The bespoke bases were made from MDF in different thicknesses and painted to match the main piece. Assembly brought the components together into the finished trophy. The project’s two posts document this manufacturing work and its continuation through the preparation and finishing of the pieces.
Two acrylic thicknesses distinguish the solar panel reference from the piece carrying the personalised details.
Painting visually connects the main piece with the MDF base.
