PLASTICS DIVISION


Entries in this division are representative applications of plastic in industry.

PL-1 PLASTICS TECHNOLOGY
Any entry which includes casting, inlaying, shaping, forming, or carving is eligible. A complete set of plans must accompany the project. Any casting that was produced from a student made mold must be accompanied by that mold. All other castings will be assumed to have been produced from commercial molds and therefore do not require a drawing. Examples: (Paperweight, bookends, night lamp, penholder, earrings, or broach.) Or any entry in which industrial processes or forming and fabrication of plastic are the major operations required is eligible. Also included are thermoforming, injection molding, compression molding, and transfer molding articles. Student-made molds must accompany the project. Examples: (Picture frames, bookends, laminated bow, bowl, vase, lamp, or any item representing the commercial or industrial processes and uses of plastics.) A complete set of plans must accompany the project.
All Groups are eligible to participate
