What Are Examples Of Custom Number Plates?
3D Number Plates
3D Number Plates are manufactured from Polyurethane Resin which is a thermoplastic polymer. Each digit is manufactured using this material, this leaves a 3D letter which extrudes from the base of the plate by around 3MM depending on the manufacturer. In order to extract the characters for a number plate, DWDPLATES use top of the range laser cutters to remove digits out of a sheet, then we cover this template with the resin to create the numbers and letters. To ensure the characters have a beautiful finish, we bake them in a low-grade oven then allow them to cool.
4D Number Plates
4D Number Plates are in fact similar to 3D Plates in the way that they are manufactured. However, 4D Number Plates are manufactured using Sheet Acrylic. Here at DWDPLATES, we use Laser Cutters to extract required letters form this Acrylic. 4D Characters are fairly blocky in shape and tend to extrude up to 6MM out from the plate base. You might be wondering, how can an object be in the 4th Dimension? Your thinking is correct! Over the years, there has been a wide variety of Number Plate styles, due to the vast variety of Number Plates, 4D is simply a term used to differentiate between the 3D Gel Number Plates and the ‘3D’ Acrylic. Rest assured, these Number Plates are in fact very different in looks.
