Five Advantages of
3D printing in sign making


Just a few years ago 3D printing was an alien activity in the signage industry. But this technology nowadays has been gaining a new ground in the sector as sign makers want to avoid bidding wars and earn more with innovations. Here listed Five Advantages of 3D printing every signage company must know.

  1. Creative & Effective Signage Solutions

    Large-format 3D printing opens a new prospect for big brands to up their game and ensure that their promotional signage campaigns could be more creative and effective. The technology is suitably designed to create cool and trendy styles replicating life-size designs that any other conventional sign making methods fail to produce using acrylic or aluminium sheets or thermoforming. 3D printing technically enables sign makers create fantasy creatures that their customers ever dream up. With complete design freedom, this technology creates whole new level of customisation for retail POPs, vehicle promotions and even cost-effective short runs.

  2. Creation of Unusual Curves & Shapes

    Limitless creative possibilities of 3D printing can make complex signs incorporate with unusual shapes, curves, angles and side textures. When sign makers engage in creating signage models based on 2D designs that are simply protruded by 90 degrees there is limitation to generate texture, design, angles and geometries. Keeping these intricacies at ease, 3D printing enables sign makers to produce a range of most sophisticated designs such as cursive letters, complex graphic elements of company logos and many others without hardship.

  3. Flexibility & Freedom to Produce Channel Letters

    3D printing is a new game changer in channel letter making. The technology helps channel letter makers produce most shapes that contain complex geometries and curves which sign makers using traditional methods may take longer time and flawed finishing. Even the channel letters created on a 3D printer are come out in such a perfect way that they can set in LED lighting and video mapping for greater visual impact. After all, creating channel letters using 3D printers saves time and lengthy process.

  4. Reduced Production Error

    Sign makers always look for ways to reduce the risk of error or minimise it during the production process. When a signage is set to print on a 3D printer, the design will be created using CAD software and outsourced the production of prototype part. After getting the prototype back, a design needs to be further optimised and another prototype needs to be made. These steps can repeat a couple of times. In this way, 3D printing reduces all risk of errors during the production process. Sign makers get enough time for checking any design through creating a production ready prototype (3D print) before going ahead for final print.

  5. More Staying and Stopping Power

    3D-ptinted sign models are head turners. According to a market research, promotional signage objects created on 3D printers have five times stopping-power and four times more staying-power than any forms of 2D advertisings in the crowded public places. This technology creates vibrant and catchy display objects which any other wide-format printing technologies could not produce. In this way, many retail companies across the globe create stunning 3D-printedpromotional sign systems which they strategically install in pop-up retail locations to pull attention of passers-by.
