Custom Cutting for Signage and Displays
DSS Custom Builds provides CNC routing and laser cutting for custom signage, displays and fabrication projects in Melbourne.
From individual lettering and cut-outs to components for larger builds, we work from your design and intended use.
Discuss your preferred material and cutting method with our Frankston team before production.
Send your drawings, dimensions and required quantity so we can assess your project and prepare a quote.
CNC and laser cutting services include:
- CNC routing, profiles and custom lettering
- Laser-cut signage and display components
Discuss your drawings or project brief with DSS to request a cutting quote.
CNC Design, Routing and Cutting
CNC routing and cutting can create custom profiles, lettering and components for signage, displays and fabricated builds.
We work with projects involving plastics, metals and wood. Share your preferred material so its suitability and the production method can be checked.
For a useful quote, provide drawings or reference images, dimensions, quantities and any parts that the finished component needs to fit.
Let us know where the finished piece will be used and whether you need finishing, assembly or installation.
Laser Cutting for Custom Components
Laser cutting can produce custom shapes and components for signs, displays and fabrication projects. Material and finish requirements guide the approach.
DSS works with laser-cutting projects involving metals, acrylic and wood, subject to material suitability and project requirements. For acrylic projects, see our guide to laser-cut Perspex in Melbourne.
Request a quote with your design, overall dimensions, preferred material and quantity. Our team will confirm the scope before production.
Tell us whether your components need finishing, assembly or installation, and how they will fit into the wider project.
Our Work
Polo Ralph Lauren Australian Open display
For a Polo Ralph Lauren Australian Open display at Melbourne Airport, DSS CNC-routed the backboard with snug openings for tennis balls and cut the display shelves. The team also built lockable cabinetry and combined the routed components with acrylic ball holders, mirrored racket details and large 3D-printed features.
The project shows how CNC-cut parts can fit within a complete custom display. For shaped panels, repeated openings or components that need to fit together, send DSS a drawing or reference image with the intended dimensions and material.
Preparing your CNC or laser-cutting brief
Drawings and artwork
Send the design at its intended scale, with units, overall dimensions and quantity clearly marked. A dimensioned drawing or vector artwork is useful; if you only have a sketch or reference photo, include it so the preparation work can be assessed. Ask DSS to confirm the preferred file format before final export.
Material, thickness and fit
State the preferred material, thickness and finish, and whether you are supplying the material. Identify holes, slots, bends or edges that need to align with other parts. Mark critical dimensions and required tolerances so the team can confirm what is achievable for the chosen process before production.
What affects the quote?
Material, part size, quantity, cutting detail, artwork preparation and finishing all affect the work involved. Include any assembly or installation requirements, the intended use and your target date. If the piece must fit an existing component, supply its drawing or explain how that fit will be checked.
For a larger project, discuss how the cut parts relate to custom fabricated displays, 3D lettering or installation.
