Thanks to a new, fully automated, robotic, pattern-making process, Gemini Inc. (Cannon Falls, MN) has announced it is reducing pricing and lead times for all custom cast letters and logos. The new manufacturing techniques not only reduce production times by two days, but will help the company lower custom, cast-metal pricing 20-40%.

The new manufacturing process is compatible with halo-lit backlighting by machining mounting locations for LEDs into the back of letters and logos. In addition, the process leaves a lip on the inside back of each letter to insert a clear Plexiglas acrylic back. The finished product also meets UL specifications, the company states.
