3D SIGNS AND BILLBOARDS

Making The Business Case As any signage company knows, the 2D or flat signage and billboard market is largely saturated. Margins are thin and becoming thinner. At the same time, consumers who are bombarded with messages every day have become largely immune to the majority of commercial signage. For signage and billboard companies, the ability to offer new and captivating signs is now required even more in order to catch the attention of consumers and stand out among the crowd. Digital billboards and signs are one trend that has taken hold of the industry as an effort to be more captivating. However, the transition to digital large signage is a prohibitively expensive endeavor and entering the market at this point is largely a matter of playing catch up. In contrast, the investment in 3D signage equipment can be less than the cost of a single digital billboard and

3D SIGNS AND BILLBOARDS

it allows for the continued use of all existing billboard and signage locations. 3D production capabilities are an attractive option if you are wanting to break out of flat signage but are unwilling to pay the high costs of transitioning to digital advertising. Going 3D is also beneficial both for your clients and for your bottom line. Your clients will be able to develop new advertising tactics that have tremendous visual impact and engage consumers far beyond traditional flat signage. Your 3D capabilities will provide your company with a new value proposition to acquire new accounts or upsell existing accounts since you will have a significant competitive edge over signage and billboard companies lacking this technology.

STREAMLINE AUTOMATION & FROG3D

“ We chose FROG3D because of the capability to scan and machine full 3D reliefs. Using the rotational axis, we are able to produce parts that were not possible before.” - Jessie Ullerich Spec Formliners, USA

“ Based on our research, Streamline Automation is the only company that offers a complete automated carving package with the necessary real world training. Huge sculpture enlargements were extremely difficult to achieve by hand but now with the FROG3D system we save an enormous amount of time and the enlargement’s scales are consistently proportional.” - Paul Cavanagh, Peter Woytuk Asia Fine Art, Thailand

“ The decision to purchase the FROG3D system came early in the process when we recognized the unmatched level of service and personal attention we were provided by the entire staff at Streamline. After using the system for some time, I can say other companies would find it difficult to provide better equipment, but even if they could we would still go with FROG3D based on the level of personal service alone.”

“ We went with Streamline because they fully understood our business needs. Their strength is the knowledge they bring of the challenges of manufacturing and their ability to constantly refine their products to better meet those challen ges...I would highly recommend the pairing of Streamline and FROG3D. They will get you up and running and doing what you do faster, better, cheaper and happier.” - Philip Wassmer Wassmer Studios, USA

“ We are now able to do all sculptural enlargements in house, which enhances our service and turn-around time frame to our clients and gives us greater control of costs and quality. We can work directly with artists to realize the creation of their sculptures and 3D products without the subcontractor interface…The training and follow-up support from Streamline has been first class in every way. Streamline’s staff made us feel as if they truly cared about our knowledge base and our business.” - Tom Bollinger Bollinger Atelier, USA

“ Deep in the Heart decided on the FROG3D system because it was the only system that offered a complete suite of services from scanning to milling.” FROG3D has allowed Deep in the Heart to become a full-service foundry.”

By purchasing the FROG3D system we have been able to increase the number of projects we can take on, making our company more productive and profitable.”

The training and support that we have received from Streamline has been nothing short of phenomenal. Streamline offered superior initial training and has continued their service excellence through immediate and comprehensive technical support.”
