With our expertise in plastic injection moulding and with 24 hr production, we were able to work alongside our experienced toolmaker to produce the spheres in a limited timeframe in preparation for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Songboard was produced as a temporary attraction for the City of London during the Olympic and Paralympic Games and is based at Kings Cross Station from 24th July – 9th September and then at the D & AD Awards on 18th September 2012.
Songboard is a multi-sensory interactive installation measuring 35 metres long, containing a dot matrix of thousands of yellow and black plastic injection moulded spheres which, when turned, enable users to create their own patterns, signs, messages and sounds that form recognisable melodies.
For weeks now Songboard has been providing a visually captivating and entertaining feature for passers by at Kings Cross.
Members of the public have been fascinated by Songboard and Gilt Edge Plastics have been proud to be part of its production.

If you are happy with the design we could get an SLA* model made so that you can actually try the product.
Providing the SLA is satisfactory to you we would initiate tooling production.
After the tool is complete we would sample the mould and check the mouldings for size, colour, function etc.
If necessary we would then make any tooling adjustments required and then re-sample.
Once you are satisfied that the sample meets your exact requirements we would proceed to manufacture your product.
*Stereolithography/SLAs are used in the research and design stages of a product. This is a rapid way to produce one part and takes approximately 1-3 days. SLAs can subsequently be used for conformity of fit, size, and function.

Using thermal probes, brass or metal inserts are inserted into cavities moulded into the component. Heat from the probe transfers through the insert and melts the plastic surrounding the insert so the insert becomes embedded in the component. This process can be used on a variety of products including fasteners, hinge plates, pivots and hubs to name but a few.

Initially an image is etched into a flat printing plate and ink is then poured into the etch. A flexible silicone rubber pad picks up a film of ink from the plate and transfers it to the three dimensional part surface. Throughout this process the ink becomes tacky as solvent evaporates from the ink. The flexible silicone pad is able to pick up the image from the flat plate and transfer it to many surface shapes – e.g. concave, convex spherical and cylindrical. By applying pressure the pad conforms to the surface shape and leaves the desired image on the object. This form of printing can be used on products including electronic components, sports equipment, toys, automobile parts, medical equipment and many others.

This effect can be produced using a wide variety of foil materials such as holographic, metallic, gloss and matt colours. The die comes into contact with the foil and places a thing layer of the foil onto the moulding. When heat is added the foil adheres to the object leaving the required design.
