HDU Cut Styles
Smooth Background
A smooth background is the most popular option for HDU routed signs. We’ll basically rout away the excess of the sign, making the ‘leftovers’ into dimensional letters. It’s more durable then dimensional letters, as it’s produced out of one piece.
V-Carved
Create a subtle layer of extra dimension with a V-carved HDU routed sign. This HDU Cut Style is the action of carving with a v-shaped bit to generate designs with varied width. The unique shape of v-bits create carves that are narrow at the deepest part of the carve and wider at the top of the material.
Wood Grain
Changing the look of HDU, imitating a wood grain look. Since HDU is much more durable then wood, this is a great way to imitate a wood grain look. Where wood might absorb moister and deteriorates over time, HDU is more durable while providing a wood grain look.
Pebble Texture
Last but not least, a high-end finishing for your HDU routed sign with pebble texture. This HDU cut style makes you wonder if it’s really HDU, considering the high end look. A great solution to replace an expensive aluminum or bronze plaque with a more affordable alternative.
