3D CAD for Plexiglas & Foam Board
Our product design services turn your idea, sketch or brief into a finished 3D CAD design, and then into a made product. We design in Plexiglas (Perspex) acrylic and PVC foam board for retail, interior and architectural projects, and build what we design in our own Johannesburg factory.
Our CAD Design Service
From Idea to 3D Model to Finished Product
Can’t find what you need in our catalogue? Send us a sketch, a photo, a few measurements or a simple description. Our in-house team turns it into a precise 3D CAD model and dimensioned drawings, so you can see exactly how your product will look before any material is cut.
Every design is checked against how acrylic and foam board really behave: sheet thickness, bend radii, joint strength and load. We recommend the right material and thickness, and we make changes until you are happy.
Because design and factory sit under one roof, your approved design goes straight to laser cutting, CNC routing and bonding — from a single prototype to a full production run.
What You Receive
Everything Needed to Approve and Build
- 3D CAD model and concept views
- Dimensioned production drawings
- Material and thickness recommendation
- Design-for-manufacture checks
- A quote within 1–2 working days
- A prototype to approve, if you want one
Who We Design For
Product Design for Retail, Interior & Architecture
The same CAD process serves three kinds of project. Tell us which one yours is and we will shape the design around it.
Retail Design
Displays that show off your products and carry your brand, designed to fit the shelf, the counter or the shop floor.
- Point-of-sale and countertop displays
- Brochure holders and phone stands
- Shoe, jewellery and cosmetic displays
- Floor stands for in-store promotions
Interior Design
Custom pieces for shops, showrooms, offices and exhibitions, drawn to the space and finished to match your interior.
- Shopfitting and display fixtures
- Display cases and shelving
- Signage and information boards
- Partitions and backlit panels
Architectural Design
Precise, made-to-measure acrylic elements for buildings and public spaces, designed with the tolerances your drawings need.
- Architectural display vitrines
- Protective screens and barriers
- Wall-mounted information displays
- Custom panels cut to your drawings
Two Materials, One Design Team
Plexiglas & Foam Board Product Design
We design for both materials and help you choose the right one. Each behaves differently, so each is designed differently.
Plexiglas (Perspex) Acrylic Design
Choose acrylic when the product must be see-through, glossy or premium, or needs a long life. We design clear, coloured and frosted cast acrylic from 2 mm to over 30 mm thick.
- Laser-cut and CNC-routed parts
- Heat-bent shapes and bonded joints
- Diamond-polished or flame-polished edges
- Engraved or printed branding
PVC Foam Board Design
Choose M-Foam when you want a lightweight, printable, branded display and do not need to see inside it. It is waterproof, rot-proof and stocked in 6, 12, 16 and 22 mm.
- CNC-routed panels and shelves
- Printed graphics, laminated or varnished
- Floor stands, endcaps and totems
- Typical floor display about 420 × 350 × 1600 mm
How It Works
Our Product Design Process
Six clear steps take you from first idea to delivered product. You approve the design before anything is cut.
-
Brief
Tell us what you need: a sketch, a photo, measurements or a plain description. You can also email CAD and DXF files to Dean.
-
Quote
We review your brief, suggest a material and thickness, and send your quote within 1–2 working days.
-
3D CAD Design
Our team builds a 3D CAD model of your product, so you can see its shape, proportions and details.
-
Drawings & Approval
We check the design against how the material behaves and supply dimensioned drawings. We make changes until you are happy, and nothing is cut until you approve.
-
Prototype
We make a working prototype to approve or trial in store, then refine it with you if needed.
-
Production & Delivery
Your approved design goes into production in our factory. Standard fabrication takes 7–10 working days, and we deliver across South Africa, with fit-out on request.
3D CAD Examples
3D CAD Design Examples
Two 3D CAD renders of the kind of design you receive: one for a Plexiglas product, one for a foam board product. Your own model is drawn to your brief.
Plexiglas Example: A5 Brochure Holder
A freestanding brochure holder in clear Plexiglas, with a tall angled back and a low front pocket that holds a stack of A5 brochures. The render shows its size, internal profile, material and key features.
- Size: 165 × 120 × 210 mm
- Material: clear Plexiglas (acrylic), 2 mm
- Angled for visibility, stable and freestanding
Foam Board Example: Four-Shelf Floor Display
A floor display in foam board with sloped side panels, four shelves with printed front lips and a printed header panel for your branding. It is built for in-store promotions.
- Size: 600 × 400 × 1500 mm
- Material: foam board, slot-and-tab construction
- Finish: printed graphics in your brand colours
These are example renders with placeholder branding. Each project’s 3D model and drawings are made to your sizes, material and branding.
