Note: Catalog orders will be delivered within 2.5-4 weeks this year as we have only two ALMC personnel for the 2025-2026 school year. Customized orders will be delivered within 4 weeks. If there are opportunities to deliver sooner we will; if there are delays we will reach out. Please be patient; know we value your patronage tremendously. Many answers to common questions can be found on the Q&A page.
This page is a resource for common questions that are asked by patrons of the ALMC. Please read information here before emailing ALMC staff. Hopefully we have provided pertinent information for understanding how the project works.
Laser-cut items are made from cast acrylic, ranging from 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch thick. This allows us to create smooth, clean lines and shapes. Many colors are available, including sparkly and pastel colors.
Note: Laser-cut products are not as durable as 3D prints. Acrylic can crack when bitten and also will break into pieces if accidently dropped on hard surfaces.
3D printed materials are a wonderful option for students that need low-cost, reproduceable items. We have the ability to size our prints up and down based on the needs of the students. A large array of colors are available, including gradient rainbow and even glow in the dark!
Note: 3D prints can be sensitive to heat exposure. Keep this in mind if you are leaving 3D printed objects in a hot car.
Traditional irrigation PVC pipe and fittings are used for these products. These items are largely made for students with multiple disabilities that include visual impairments. These items can be custom built to accommodate wheelchairs or other seating types in the classroom environment.
These items promote many skills in the nine areas of the Expanded Core Curriculum. Compensatory Skills, Social Communication, Independent Living, Self Determination, and Orientation & Mobility are all addressed by products in this category. This section incorporates different materials, including digital files and other products not found elsewhere on our catalog.
