3D Printers for ADA Signs

We're looking for a better way to create ADA signs. Kodak has bumped Photopolymer prices up by 29% in the past month.

Does anyone know of any larger scale 3d printers or other solutions to get us away from Kodak's PP??

Thanks.

The the price of Photopolymer getting up to $20 psf and the large labor costs of processing it, it's becoming an option.

Does anyone have any other input?

3D printer isn't going to do it for you. There's now way a 3D printer will make 1 sign in the time you can make dozens with Photopolymer.

There was some really interesting stuff out there using vacuum forming I looked into about 6 months ago. I think it was an article in a sign magazine about it and it lead me down the path. They talked about it replacing Photopolymer. I didn't bookmark any of the sites, but I do know that's how it was being done and the stuff looked awesome.
