Edward Eck and his wife Jennifer Eck are the owners of ECK Designs, a creative sign company that has been producing unique, eye-catching signage since 1998.
Before starting ECK Designs, Edward graduated from Detroit Lakes Technical College after studying a sign lettering & design course. He then went on to work for Signs Incorporated in Milwaukee before setting up his own part-time venture a few years later. Ed decided to focus on designing and building dimensional signage over the next four years, whilst also working in a sales position outside the sign industry.
El negocio creció rápidamente, lo que finalmente permitió a Ed y Jennifer conseguir un local de 8,5 x 12 metros, y poco después adquirieron otra propiedad comercial de 11 x 16,5 metros para realizar también todos sus trabajos de acabado.
Con el negocio en auge, Ed y Jennifer decidieron que era el momento de comprar una fresadora CNC para maximizar su productividad. La eficiencia y la velocidad de la fresadora fueron sin duda bienvenidas, ya que el 80 % de su trabajo consistía ahora en cortar letreros 3D en tableros de HDU. Hablamos con Ed, quien nos explicó cómo fabricaban los letreros antes de comprar la fresadora CNC y el software VCarve Pro de Vectric."We were focusing on sandblasted signs and hand carved signs early on in our business model. After a few years the quantity started to get a little overwhelming, and we looked to add a CNC router to our shop, to speed up production. Time was spent researching machines and software, and we settled on an EZ router 4'x8' router with a spindle instead of a regular router, and Vectric's VCarve Pro CNC software.
When I went to train on the router at EZ, I was shown how to use the router on VCarve Pro, and I was able to easily design and write toolpaths almost immediately.
Since all of our design work is on sign specific software, I tend to design the sign on that and import the files to VCarve Pro. I usually only need 10-30 minutes to write all the toolpaths and preview the sign.This software has allowed us to produce just about anything I need. From standard VCarved signs, to textured backgrounds, and custom cut letters and logos for interior applications. I also use it to make patterns, parts, and even some custom furniture."
Now Ed is able to offer and work with a variety of materials, such as aluminium composite signs, and overlaid plywood panel signs.
ECK Designs' experience and dedication to producing high quality designs has enabled them to offer very appealing signage that looks fantastic up close, "It seems that every time we install a sign, it influences others nearby to want to upgrade their signs.". This passion has rewarded the company with a strong client list and a solid reputation that has seen Ed support other sign shops with their production work on his CNC router!El sitio web de ECK Designs es un excelente portal en línea para la empresa, y Jennifer actualiza constantemente el material de marketing para garantizar que promuevan su capacidad de mejorar la imagen de un negocio de la manera más efectiva posible.
