Importance of 3D Printed Graphics

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has revolutionized the world of graphics and signage, making it easier and more affordable to produce high-quality, custom, and intricate graphics that capture people’s attention. Below are some important aspects of 3D printing: 

  • Enhanced Visualization: Enables the creation of physical models from digital designs, which is crucial for visualizing complex graphics and structures. This process aids in better understanding and communication of ideas by providing tangible representations.
  • Prototyping and Testing: In fields like engineering, architecture, and product design, 3D printing facilitates rapid prototyping. Designers can swiftly produce and test models, allowing for refinement and iteration before final production.
  • Customization: The technology offers virtually limitless customization options. Businesses and organizations can produce signage that is uniquely tailored to their brand or message, creating a distinctive visual identity.
  • Cost Efficiency: Compared to traditional manufacturing methods, 3D printing is more cost-effective, especially for small runs or specialized items. It reduces material waste, labor costs, and allows for the rapid production of complex shapes and designs.
  • Creative Freedom: Artists and designers benefit by pushing the boundaries of creativity. The technology allows for the creation of intricate designs and patterns that are challenging to achieve with other methods.
  • Visual Appeal: Adds depth and dimension, with raised textures and graphics creating a striking visual impact that enhances the overall look and feel of a space.

Highlights of ASI's 3D Form

ASI’s three-dimensional (3D) form product line marries the elegance of 3D printing with durability. Our 3D printing process efficiently produces ADA-compliant letters, braille, and raised texture design accents for interior signage using UV inks with zero VOCs. Below are some highlights of ASI’s 3D Form product line:

  • Multi-functional Production: Creates Grade II braille, varying height text and graphics, multiple colors, and textures, all in a single run.
  • Opaque Imaging: White UV ink creates very opaque images, allowing bright colors to be printed onto almost any colored or transparent substrate, including wood, ceramic tiles, acrylic, metals, and glass.
  • Durability: UV LED inks offer excellent solvent and abrasion resistance with a six-color ink set, including clear and white.

Overall, 3D printed graphics have transformed the approach businesses and organizations take toward signage. With its versatility and affordability, 3D printing is an invaluable tool for creating high-quality, custom, and impactful signage that effectively communicates a brand or message.
