ACM materials such as Dibond, Alucobond, and Alupanel have been around for years in the architecture and signage industry, but recently uses are expanding into other areas of manufacturing. ACM Fabricator.com has seen a rise in usage and interest for custom applications through our diverse customer base. Sometimes it is a toss-up as to whether the use ACM materials over sheet metal or plastic fabrication - only the custom application up for consideration can dictate this direction. In the instances that ACM has been the choice, the customer chooses it either due to the products' surface finish, it being light weight yet robust, or maybe even that it can be hand formed on site and shipped in the flat. All of these are distinct application based benefits over plastic and sheet metal.
