22 May 2013 2.1 Exploit the properties and characteristics of 3D materials in own work with due regard to health and safety

(Exploit the properties and characteristics of 3D materials in own work with due regard to health and safety)


These ideas may use the materials:
Ideas 1,Ideas 2,Ideas3

The exterior of the lamp, I would like to trial the following materials:


Aluminium
(Online)Available from-http://www.realityinscale.com/WebRoot/StoreNL/Shops/61537336/493B/1708/E36F/B722/24EB/C0A8/2935/DB03/alu.jpg(Accessed: 22 May 2013)

Health:The corrosion resistance of aluminum (Especially is oxidation, it's because its oxide of alumina in the density of the metal surface to form membrane, so increased corrosion resistance of aluminum) excellent,  quality of the appearance is good, price moderate, this is computer casing of high quality material (Apple Product).
If use this material for make lamp, I think that appearance look more have a sense of science and technology. Aluminium is a metal, so it can be recycled.

Safety: Aluminium is not easy to broken, if the lamp works for long time,it is not easy to burn and heat resistance is very good, waterproof.


LED

Health: LED is made from non-toxic material, unlike fluorescent lamp contains mercury, mercury can cause pollution. In addition, LED can be recycled.
Safety: Leds are fully encapsulated in epoxy resin, so it is stronger than light bulbs and fluorescent tubes. No loose parts in the bulb, these characteristics make LED is not easy to damage.

Acrylic

Health: Non-toxic. Even if the long-term contact is harmless. In addition, this material doesn't produce poisonous gas when burning.

Safety: Resilient to the natural environment. Even in the sunshine, the wind blows the rain for a long time also won't cause changes in the performance, anti-aging performance is good, at outdoor also can be ease use.

Finally, I chose "Acrylic" as the material of final project:
"Acrylic" is a transliteration, English named is ACRYLIC. it is a chemical material. its chemical name called "PMMA" which commonly known as "specially treated glass", acrylic raw materials industry in the application of generally particulate, sheet, pipe and other forms. after special treatment, it is also known as acrylic glass, plexiglass generation product line, made with acrylic light box with good light, pure color, colorful, beautiful and smooth, both day and night two effects, long life, acrylic has high transparency, light transmission rate of 92%, the "plastic crystal" reputation. And have excellent weathering resistance, especially applied to outdoor, ranking the highest in other plastics, and both a good surface hardness and gloss, processing plasticity, can be made of the required shape and products. Another variety of sheet
Rich colors (including translucent color palette), and the other is characterized by thick able to maintain high level of transparency.
