Brief / Challenge
Create a standout external sign capable of withstanding harsh outdoor conditions
Move beyond traditional fabrication methods to achieve a more distinctive result
Ensure durability without compromising visual impact
Integrate lighting seamlessly without visible wiring
Solution
Developed a custom 3D signage concept using advanced modelling and visualisation
Utilised 3D printing and CNC cutting for precision fabrication
Selected UV-resistant, recyclable filament for long-term durability
Designed concealed wiring within the structure for a clean finish
Integrated high-quality LED modules for consistent day and night visibility
Delivery / Build Details
The project combined 3D printing and CNC routing to achieve both structural integrity and design precision. Materials were carefully selected to ensure resistance to weather exposure, including sun, rain, and wind.
CNC cutting enabled accurate openings for electrical components, while the internal backing system was engineered to house all wiring discreetly. LED modules were installed to deliver an even, energy-efficient illumination across the sign face.
The final installation required minimal wall penetration, maintaining both structural simplicity and a clean external appearance.
Outcome
High-impact illuminated signage with strong visual presence day and night
Reduced maintenance requirements through durable material selection
Clean, seamless finish with no visible wiring
Demonstrated capability in combining 3D printing with traditional fabrication methods
