Producing translucent plastics for case parts

["Bryan Villados" <news002@macgeek.org>]

Hi!

I'm curious to see if anyone on this group has ever worked with casting
customized plastic parts, particularly translucent plastics that could be
used to create translucent cases?

I started researching this after seeing an clear-cased Apple Macintosh Color
Classic that was mentioned as being a prototype. Though I don't believe that
it was a true prototype, I did some research and found out that creating
customized translucent parts is growing in popularity, especially in Japan.

Here are several links I've found that discuss about the subject:

One of the things I've always wanted to do was make a clear Apple IIgs, or a
clear Apple II+.

Aloha!
