Create Custom Engraved Dashboard Panels In-House
It’s simple to design your own dashboard panels. Profile-cut the outside shape of the panel and cut openings for gauges, levers, joysticks, switches, indicators and other controls. Go beyond simple circles — profile-cut slots, rectangles, arcs, notches or custom shapes designed around the hardware.
You can engrave the lettering directly into the panel, identifying each control with permanent text that will not smear, peel or wear away.
The result is a dashboard custom shaped for the machine, with each opening and label placed in the most practical position for the hardware — and the operator.
Step 1 - Sketch Your Dashboard Panel
Adaptable for your needs, our program lets you import files from other CAD or graphics software packages such as AutoCAD, along with Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw. You can also convert most word processing files to PDF for importing.
For clarity on the left image, engraved lettering is indicated in black, while the profile cutting marks are notated in blue.
Step 2 - Engrave the Dash Panel Elements
Make your profile cut, using one of our superior engraving plastics. The Scott GripNGraver™ mat ensures workpiece stability as you confidently cut your openings for the various panel elements.
Engraving the letters is a quick, natural process, thanks to our intuitive software, precision tools and reliable machine. Your engraved dash panel will maintain its clean, clear look through all types of conditions.
Step 3 - Assemble Your Custom Operator Panel
Secure your panel in place, for a neat, professional look, with each opening and label properly positioned, thanks to the easy-to-use software and rotary engraver…specially designed for better facility communication and management.
