Technology and Materials for Event Displays

Custom props used in trade show displays often incorporate a range of technologies and materials to enhance the visual appeal and create immersive experiences. Here are some common technologies and materials used for custom props in trade show displays:

Technologies:

  1. 3D Printing: 3D printing has revolutionized custom event display fabrication by enabling the creation of intricate and personalized designs with precision and efficiency. With 3D printing technology, event display components, such as unique props, signage, and booth structures, can be produced quickly and cost-effectively. We use materials such as PLA filament, nylon and resin.

  2. CNC Machining: CNC machines employ computerized controls to guide the cutting, shaping, and carving of various materials, including wood, metal, and plastic. In the context of event displays, CNC machining enables the creation of intricate and customized components with exceptional accuracy and consistency.

  3. Projection Mapping: Projection mapping, also known as spatial augmented reality, is a technology that transforms ordinary surfaces into dynamic and visually stunning displays. By using projectors to map visual content onto objects or structures, event organizers can create captivating displays that manipulate perception and bring static elements to life. Projection mapping is often used to transform entire event spaces, turning them into immersive environments that tell stories and evoke emotions.

  4. LED Lighting: LED lighting is commonly integrated into custom props to enhance their visual impact. It can be used to illuminate specific areas, create color-changing effects, or add a dynamic element to the props.

  5. Motion and Automation: Custom props may incorporate motorized or automated mechanisms to add movement or interactivity. This can include rotating parts, sliding elements, or animatronics, creating a dynamic and engaging experience.

  6. Social Media Integration: Custom event displays now leverage the power of social media integration and live streaming to extend their reach beyond the physical event space. Attendees can share their experiences, interact with branded content, and become brand ambassadors in real-time.

Materials:

  1. Foam: Foam materials, such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) or polyurethane foam, are commonly used for custom prop construction. They are lightweight, easy to carve or shape, and can be coated or painted to achieve desired textures and finishes.

  2. 3D printed props: Custom props can be 3D printed using various materials, including plastics, resins, and metals, depending on the use case and specific requirements and budget.

  3. Wood: Wood is commonly used to construct booth structures, backdrops, signage, podiums, and furniture pieces that set the stage for brand presentations. With its ability to be shaped, carved, and engraved, wood offers endless design possibilities, allowing for intricate detailing and customization. Additionally, wood can be painted, stained, or finished to match brand colors and desired aesthetics, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to event displays. Its durability and timeless charm make wood a reliable and popular material for creating memorable and impactful custom event displays.

  4. Metal: Metal is a versatile and resilient material widely employed in the fabrication of custom event displays. Its strength and durability make it suitable for creating sturdy structures, frames, logos, large letter displays and fixtures that can withstand the demands of various event environments. Metal is commonly used for constructing booth frames, display stands, signage supports, and decorative elements. With its malleability, metal can be shaped, bent, and welded into intricate designs, allowing for unique and eye-catching display components.

  5. Acrylic and Plexiglass: Acrylic and plexiglass materials are commonly used for creating transparent or translucent elements in custom props. They offer clarity, durability, and can be easily cut or shaped.

By combining these technologies and materials, custom props for special event displays can be designed to captivate and engage attendees. The use of advanced techniques and innovative materials ensures that the props are visually appealing, durable, and aligned with the overall brand message and aesthetic.

Common Questions & Answers

  • What file type is required to make a custom event display?
    We work with all architectural CAD programs including AutoCAD, Revit, Chief Architect, ArchiCAD and Sketchup, just to name a few. If you design in 3D, we will start with your 3D files. If you have 2D blueprints and elevations, or artist‘s sketches, we can build a display from these files as well.

  • What methods do you use to make a custom event display?
    We use a variety of technologies to make event displays. Besides 3D printing in different materials we utilize CNC machining, laser cutting, laser etching, casting, sculpting, painting, airbrushing, laminating, vinyl printing, and woodworking to produce highly engaging displays that fit your exact needs.

  • What is the material used?
    We match the correct material and fabrication process to your requirements in terms of presentation, size, and transportability. We can 3D print in uv-cured resin, plastic, rubber-like acrylic, and nylon. We also fabricate in our model shop using different types of foam, wood, metal, resins, and acrylic.

  • What is the largest display you can make?
    There is no limit to the size of display. If you are using cartoon models, character models or foam sculptures, they can have a huge impact when extremely large. Transportability will be your only concern on an extremely large display.

  • What is the turnaround time for an event display?
    This depends on the features of the display itself. We usually ask for four to six weeks from the time we take the order to when you will receive the display. If it is a full-themed display, we will need more time. We understand that sometimes deadlines are tight and we can accommodate rush orders in as little as one week.

  • What features can a custom event display have?
    Besides the physical 3D display with the proper color and appearance, you can elect to ask for special lighting, sound, and movement. 

  • If I want a second display is it cheaper?
    Our pricing is based on the fabrication costs and the time it takes to prepare your design. The second display is less money because the design portion is complete.
