Hmm, iI’ve definitely seen commercial work in Perspex (clear) , housing electronics. There may well have been a mechanism to hold the screw, which had a hex head to be tightened or released with an Allen key.

It evoked in me a recollection of the typical IKEA method of securing load-bearing materials, but on closer analysis of this photo, for example, I see there is no similarity whatever.

Here we can see stanchions securing the PCB but then in the corners, threaded Perspex pieces to take long screws securing the multiple rounded corners in a sandwich ...
