3D Stainless Steel Technology for Major Brands
Common stainless steel lettering designs for advertising signs
Currently, stainless steel letters used for advertising are mainly made from two types of stainless steel: SUS 304 and 201.
Type 304 stainless steel has a more durable and uniform mechanical structure, is easier to process and cut into letters, has better durability, and does not oxidize over time compared to type 201 stainless steel, therefore it is more expensive.
Common methods for crafting beautiful stainless steel letters for signs
Basically, there are many methods to shape, size, and style stainless steel letters for advertising signs, ranging from the simplest manual cutting to advanced machinery that creates attractive, sharp letters, capable of processing and trimming intricate and complex details, resulting in highly effective advertising that attracts customers.
3 popular high-tech stainless steel letter processing methods today
Cutting stainless steel letters using Laser - CNC - Plasma machines
Essentially, plasma cutting relies on utilizing the very high temperature and high-speed gas flow from the plasmatron nozzle to melt and blow away metal from the cut groove.
The quality of plasma cutting depends on the current intensity, type of gas used, cutting speed, and distance from the material to the plasma.
Due to the very high speed of plasma, it is difficult to precisely control the cut details, so manual plasma cutting of stainless steel is rare. Automated cutting machines are used, where the plasmatron is mounted on a carriage moving at the plasma cutting speed.
The disadvantage of plasma cutting is the wide cut line; stainless steel letters may burn, discolor, or deform after cutting, but the cost is very low.
This method is used to cut large-sized letters where edge quality is not critical.
Cutting stainless steel letters using CNC milling machines
This method uses a cutting tool harder than stainless steel to cut stainless steel letters on a 3-axis CNC machine.
This method produces sharp letters with high precision and can process small letters with many details.
It meets all requirements for cutting stainless steel letter styles. The drawback is the dependency on the cutting tool.
Important notes when installing advertising signs
Cutting stainless steel letters using laser cutting machines
This is the most modern method and currently provides the most perfect quality stainless steel letters.
This method combines an extremely fine laser beam with an X,Y coordinate system for 99.9% accuracy. The laser beam is very small, allowing cutting of letters as small as 10mm.
Letters after processing do not deform or discolor. However, the cost is high due to expensive machine investment.
