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
