How to Make Aluminum Channel 3D Letter by Hand

Creating 3D aluminum channel letters by hand requires precision and patience. Here are basic steps:

1. Design your letter template on paper or computer.
2. Cut the aluminum coil strip according to the outline.
3. Score and bend the aluminum strip manually along the letter curves.
4. Fix the strip onto the acrylic or metal faceplate using glue or rivets.
5. Assemble the back panel and ensure alignment.
6. Install LEDs inside if making illuminated signage.
7. Seal the edges and clean the surface before installation.

This process uses aluminum coils with edge due to their flexibility, uniform width, and safe edge processing.

FAQs
