Panels and bezels

A visible face has to place controls and openings cleanly, fit its surrounding assembly, and avoid looking like an afterthought.

Materials we would shortlist

1. ABS

   A starting shortlist for panels and front faces.

2. ASA

   Considered when the panel will be placed outside the usual indoor context.

3. PETG

   Considered where the brief needs a different balance of finish and handling.

Envelope considerations

Wide panels can be divided at a control break, seam or rear structure. The review considers the visible face and the assembled alignment together.
