We’ve been wanting to try our hand at signmaking for a while now, and what better material to try making it from than recycled HDPE plastic. We came up with the idea of a two-colour sign, so we could engrave into the first layer to reveal the second. This issue with this, is that there isn’t an adhesive that works with HDPE, so we needed to come up with another plan.

To make the two colours fuse together we used heat. We needed enough heat to make sure they were fully bonded, but not so much that the sheets melted and warped. Then we used our Stepcraft D840 to CNC our planet earth sign design out.

What do you think of the finished product? Using recycled plastc for this works incredibly well, and it uses up a lot of waste material in one go. There’s definitely potential here for more projects using this same technique. If you have any ideas you’d like us to try, drop a suggestion in the comments below 🤙🏽
