We offer two types of background textures, one is a basic wood grain and the other is a much more realistic woodgrain effect. We make 3D carved and painted signs, for both retail and wholesale. Let’s take a look at some of the details of how he uses his CNC and copy of Aspire… It’s great to see how Aspire and Brian’s CNC machine is a key part to his design and production workflow.
Every other sign work job I have I use Aspire, this is used for all of the parts of our 3D signs including our texture panels and letters. If I am only doing a vinyl cutting project then I use FlexiSign to run my vinyl cutter. All my work typically starts off in Coral Draw.
When it comes to software, depending on what job I have it can vary. This is still the same machine that I have had from back in 2000 and still does the job to this day. Alongside my vinyl cutters, wide format printers and laser cutters/ engravers I have my AXYZ Z7 CNC Router. This just made my drive and passion to make even better 3D signs.Įver since we started ‘Quint Creative Signs’ we’ve not really changed our machinery. Within our first year, one of the signs we made with the router won 1St place in the annual United States Sign Council Design Competition. I knew then at some point I would want one. The first CNC I saw was at my first Sign Trade Show in 2004. We used this to buy our AXYZ Router and our first copy of Vectric Aspire. I had the opportunity grant from the City of Piqua with a low interest loan to help expand my business. A CNC was out of my budget and the direction I felt I had to go was to add wide format printing into my business. Cutting with a jig saw, router table and some tricks with a circular saw. As my business grew, I liked doing different 3D elements with custom cut out shapes and layering them and was doing it all by hand. I was laid off this job on my 30th birthday and went full time the very next day with my sign business.
I was a service tech working on printers, started the sign business part-time doing cut vinyl with a vinyl cutter.
