The manufacturing of Lucite embedments began shortly after World War II.  It has remained one of the best kept manufacturing secrets, handed down through trusted associates. Because of the tremendous technical knowledge required, the total number of actual manufacturers remains very small.  While much of the process is technically demanding, a basic overview is helpful to enhance understanding of the finished product.

Lucite is a high quality acrylic product.  The versatility of Lucite allows it to be custom designed into a variety of shapes and sizes, incorporating many different types of embedded elements.  However, due to chemical reactions during the process, not everything can be embedded.
