Steps

Step 1: Cuting the panels- CNC machine

Send the provided files to be cut using a CNC or laser cutting machine. Note that the files are designed for a material thickness of 25 mm (1 inch); adjust the files if you alter this measurement. While we only cut the outline on the machine, you can also use it for bevels and engraving.

Step 2: Plastic type- LaserCut

After cutting all panels, use the numbered files to laser cut each one. Ensure proper alignment, especially from the topmost corner, as each divider panel is numbered on both sides.

Step 3: Cuting and Finishing

In this step, cut the front, bottom, and back panels. Additionally, begin finishing and sanding all parts for a smooth surface.

Step 4: Mounting all the pieces

After sanding, assemble using screws. Attach the sides and bottom, then fit the dividers as needed.

Step 5: ALL DONE!!

Organize Plastic Efficiently

You can now sort your plastic more effectively.
