The Process of Getting a 3D Trophy Designed

A 3D trophy can make for a wonderful award, no matter what the event. However, there are a number of important considerations you should remember when you decide to commission this type of piece. The more prepared you are, the better the finished piece will be. Here are some of the most considerations to take into account before you sign on the dotted line.

The Image You Will Use

A 3D trophy is often a popular option as it can be truly personalized with an image. Rather than just presenting a stock cup, you will be able to present something that uses a personal image in its design. This could be something relating to the company or event, or it could be an image of a person or place. This is, therefore, the first thing to consider, as you want to make sure you choose the right one. Once you have an idea, take a photograph of the subject - ideally from different angles to help in the design process.

The Designer

Choosing the designer to create the three-dimensional image is the most important decision you will have to make. It is they who will turn your 2D image into an intricate 3D design, and the quality of the designer will have a large impact on the overall result.

Make sure you look for someone with experience, and always ask to see previous work. (You may even be able to find these on the designer's website.) Highly skilled and creative designers will ensure you get the best results, so spend some time finding the right one.

The Engraver

The engraver is less important in the overall process than the designer, as it is the designer who truly brings the image to life. The engraver will simply take the image and use it in the engraving machine to create the final result, and as long as the actual image is of a high quality the engraving should also turn out well.

However, it is still important to choose an engraver who has a high-quality machine capable of engraving the detailed aspects of your chosen image. Look around for someone with a good reputation and check out some of their previous work.

A 3D trophy makes for a fantastic award for any situation, whether a sporting event, corporate award or anything else. Remember these important considerations when you start the process of ordering commissioning your special piece and you can achieve a high-quality result.
