How to find 3D printing signage manufacturers in Zhengzhou? In addition to phone calls, you need to know these things!

Recently, I have been receiving private messages in the background, and the most frequently asked questions are:: “Editor, can you give me the phone number of a reliable 3D printed sign manufacturer in Zhengzhou? ” To be honest, every time I see a question like this, I want to reply directly with a string of numbers, but my typing hand stops again. Why? Because I know very well that in the signage industry, especially in the current hot 3D printing field, just getting a phone number is probably just the beginning of your "trap". Today I will not beat around the bush and have a heart-to-heart talk about finding a 3D printing signage manufacturer in Zhengzhou. Apart from staring at the phone, what should I look for and how to choose?

First of all, I have to pour some cold water on you. Do you think that if you enter "Zhengzhou 3D printing sign manufacturer's phone number" in a search engine and the first few results pop up, everything will be fine after you make a phone call? Not necessarily. There is a lot of information on the Internet now, but it is also complicated. Some may just be traders or middlemen, and they do not have a production workshop or design team at all. ； Some manufacturers may have old equipment and can only make the simplest three-dimensional characters. They cannot handle complex structures or fine surface treatments at all. ； What's more, the quotation sounds attractively low, but after you make a deposit, various subsequent "additional fees" will give you a headache. The phone is just an entrance, a tool to start communication, it does not mean a reliable guarantee.

So what should we do first? I think, Don’t be in a hurry to make a phone call. First, “look.”” .

Look at the "cases" and see the "work".  This is the most real thing. If the official website, public account or promotional page of a manufacturer always consists of a few renderings found online, or a few vague photos, then you have to pay attention. A truly powerful manufacturer will not hesitate to show off its actual projects, and can show details from all angles.: The texture of different materials (is it photosensitive resin, nylon, or metal powder? ), surface treatment under different processes (is the color evenly applied? Are there any burrs? Are the joints smooth? ), as well as real-life photos of applications in different scenarios (shopping malls, enterprises, exhibition halls, stores), the richness and quality of the cases are more effective than sales saying "our technology is advanced" a hundred times on the phone. See if they have done projects similar to your needs, then communication will be much smoother.

Second, look at "ability" and "lizi".  3D printing signs is not just about buying a printer, there is a process behind it: Preliminary 3D modeling design (whether the design is reasonable will directly affect the printing success rate and later strength), printing equipment (is it industrial grade or desktop grade? What is the printing accuracy and size range? ), post-processing process (grinding, polishing, painting, electroplating, assembly, etc.), when you consult, you can ask intentionally or unintentionally: “I plan to place this sign outdoors. What material should I use that has good weather resistance? ”“If you want a brushed metal effect on the surface, how do you achieve it? ”“The structure is so complex, does it need internal support design? ” If the other party’s customer service or sales staff can answer these detailed questions clearly and professionally, and even put forward some precautions that you may not have thought of, then the manufacturer is most likely to be of good quality. If the other party just says “no problem, we can do it”, you should be careful.

Third, look at "communication" and "feeling".  Okay, now you can pick up the phone or add WeChat to communicate. The focus of communication is not to just ask "how much", but to Describe your needs clearly , you have to know what you want: The clearer you describe the purpose of the sign, the installation environment, the approximate size, the desired material feel, the budget range, and the construction period requirements, the more accurate the plan and quotation given by the other party will be. During the communication, feel the professionalism and patience of the other party. Is he listening to your needs carefully, or is he just urging you to place an order? Can you provide some constructive design optimization suggestions (such as fine-tuning a certain part for structural stability or cost savings), or do you just do what you say (the latter may mean that they will have reasons to shirk if problems arise later)? A partner with smooth communication and someone who can think about problems from your perspective is often more important than a cold "lowest price". After all, signs are meant to be used for a long time, and there may be installation, maintenance and other issues in the future. Finding someone who is reliable and can communicate continuously is critical.

Speaking of local 3D printing sign manufacturers in Zhengzhou, they have actually developed very fast in recent years. As a transportation hub and regional central city, Zhengzhou has a good manufacturing foundation. Some powerful manufacturers not only serve the local area, but also extend their business to the whole province and even surrounding provinces. Some of them are gathered in economic development zones and high-tech zones, and some have their own factories in large industrial parks. When looking for it, you can pay attention to the time when the manufacturer was established. Old factories tend to have more experience and more stable production. ； But don’t ignore some dynamic new teams, they may be more avant-garde in design creativity and new material applications.

Let’s talk about the “telephone” itself. After you have shortlisted two or three interested manufacturers through the above steps, and get the contact number, it is best to fight for it once. field trip Seeing is believing. Go and take a look at their production environment, equipment status, workshop management, and even look at the semi-finished products they are working on for other customers. This is more intuitive than any phone communication. If it is really inconvenient to go there, try to ask for a video connection to take a look, or ask them to provide more detailed real-time production pictures and videos.

So you see, looking for 3D printing sign manufacturers in Zhengzhou, “"Telephone" is the line, but the real "fish" to catch is the manufacturer's comprehensive strength, professionalism and reliability. , this is a process that requires you to put some effort into "identifying". Don't be afraid of trouble. Spend more time comparing and communicating in the early stage to avoid a lot of trouble in the later stage. After all, an exquisite 3D printed sign is the finishing touch to your store and corporate image, and it is worth finding the right "maker" for it.

I hope this verbose truth can help you clear up some of the confusion. Next time someone just asks me for my phone number, I might just dump this article on them. After all, it’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, right? If you encounter specific problems in search and communication, you are welcome to chat again at any time. Let's discuss it together. I wish you can find a satisfactory partner and make a beautiful sign that is eye-catching!
