From 3D Printing to Installation – McMaster University Signage project

At Twilight, we pride ourselves on our ability to bring innovative signage solutions to life. Our recent project with Knightstone Capital Management at McMaster University is a testament to our commitment to excellence and using technology to ensure the design intent is met. This blog post will take you through our journey from 3D printing prototypes to the final installation of the McMaster University Signage project.

Project Overview

When Entro introduced us to this opportunity, we knew we had an exciting challenge ahead. Their vision, partnered with Knightstone and McMaster, was clear: they wanted the completed project to convey information and embody the spirit and aesthetics of the campus. The eight-foot-high number 10 is a cornerstone of the entire project.

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Our process began with an in-depth consultation with Entro. It was crucial to understand the expected outcomes, needs, preferences, and overall look they wanted to achieve. We collaborated closely to ensure that fabrication would align with their vision.

Step 2: 3D Printing Prototypes

To ensure fabrication would meet expectations, we used 3D printing to create prototypes of the proposed signage. This step allowed us to produce a scaled model of the actual signage for stakeholder review, which is critical to ensuring accuracy before moving to the fabrication stage.

Step 3: Fabrication

Once the prototypes were approved, we moved on to the fabrication stage. Using high-quality materials and state-of-the-art equipment, our skilled craftsmen brought the designs to life. Each sign was meticulously hand-crafted to meet the highest standards of durability and aesthetics.

Step 4: Installation

The final step was the installation of all interior and exterior signage for the Graduate Residence at 10 Bay on the McMaster University campus. Our installation team ensured that each sign was securely and precisely placed, enhancing the campus environment and providing clear, effective communication for students, staff, and visitors.

The McMaster University signage project perfectly exemplifies how Twilight combines technology, craftsmanship, and collaboration to deliver outstanding results. Every step was carefully planned and executed, from the initial designs to the final installation, to ensure complete client satisfaction.

We are proud to have been part of this project and look forward to many more opportunities to create impactful signage solutions.
