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.
Business soon grew, finally allowing Ed and Jennifer to secure a 28x40 ft. shop, and it wasn't long until they went on to purchase a further 36x54 ft. commercial property to do all of their finishing work as well.
With business going well, Ed and Jennifer soon decided it was time to purchase a CNC router to help maximise their productivity. The efficiency and speed of a router was definitely welcomed as 80% of their work now consisted of cutting 3D signs on HDU board. We caught up with Ed who explained how they manufactured signs before purchasing a CNC router along with Vectric's VCarve Pro software,Au début de notre activité, nous nous concentrions sur les enseignes sablées et sculptées à la main. Après quelques années, la production est devenue trop importante et nous avons cherché à ajouter une fraiseuse CNC à notre atelier pour l'accélérer. Nous avons passé du temps à étudier les machines et les logiciels, et nous avons opté pour une fraiseuse EZ Router de 120 x 240 cm avec une broche plutôt qu'une fraiseuse classique, et le logiciel CNC VCarve Pro de Vectric.
Lors de ma formation sur la fraiseuse chez EZ, on m'a montré comment l'utiliser avec VCarve Pro, et j'ai pu concevoir et programmer des trajectoires d'outils presque immédiatement.
Comme toute notre conception se fait sur un logiciel spécialisé, je conçois l'enseigne avec ce logiciel et j'importe ensuite les fichiers dans VCarve Pro. Il me faut généralement seulement 10 à 30 minutes pour programmer toutes les trajectoires d'outils et prévisualiser l'enseigne.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!Le site web d'ECK Designs est un excellent portail en ligne pour l'entreprise, et Jennifer continue de mettre à jour les supports marketing afin de promouvoir au mieux leur capacité à valoriser l'image des entreprises.
