 Introduction
• Nowadays, many people like to
keep their things that have
esthetic value such as
handicrafts or cutlery set in a
display cabinet.
• But, usually the display cabinet
in market today are quite
expensive.
• Therefore, we are trying to
create a modern display cabinet
that have stylish but affordable.

Objectives
• To create something for
displaying product
• To create a portable and
affordable cabinet
• To create display cabinet with
modern look and better features
• To apply the knowledge that we
have learn in GMI

Principle of operation
(electrical part)
• Firstly, the power supply for the motor is
switched “ON” or connected to the circuit.

• Then, the motor will start running an rotate the

center display pillar.

• Next, the other two power supply for the lights

is also switched “ON”.

• The LED in the display centre and the bulbs in

the base will turn on.

 Material selection & product design

• The design of our product is simple but

have stylish and modern look. It also have
better features compared with the
ordinary one.
• We choose to use Perspex (Polymethyl
methacrylate) as the major parts in our
product to replace the glass.
• We decided to use Perspex because:
– Not fragile
– High strength
– lightweight
• Other than Perspex, we also decide to use
wood as the material for the body.
• It is because wood have high strength
and easy to shape.

 Safety features
• The main body is made from
Perspex which is very light and rigid
compared with glass.
• The wood parts has been polished
with the orbital sander or sand
paper in order to get a smooth
surface.
• The electrical part is build in the
base which is surrounded by wood
to prevent it from getting damaged.
• The power supplies used are from
low voltage (9 volts) batteries which
are essential to prevent electric
shock caused by high voltage.

 Conclusion
• The modern look display cabinet
with better features can be build
• The display cabinet is affordable
can be made
• The knowledge that we have
learn in GMI can be applied in
doing this project

33
 Recommendation
• Improve the features of the product
such as by adding more lights
source in the display cabinet.
• Build new design such as
designing a new shape of the
product.
• Widen the market such as by
