How A European Education Group Enhanced Their Award Ceremonies with Custom 3D Printed Baroque Frames

​Introduction

​A prominent European education group with multiple universities across France and Italy approached Yuesun3D with a specific challenge. Their graduation and achievement award ceremonies utilized generic, mass-produced frames that failed to reflect the prestige of their institutions or the significance of the accomplishments being recognized. They needed a solution that would elevate the presentation of diplomas and awards while offering customization options for their diverse member institutions.

Identifying the Need for Prestigious Award Presentation

The education group’s administration understood that award presentation quality directly influenced their institutional prestige. However, the frames they sourced from standard catalogs lacked the elegance that students and donors expected. They needed new frames that could feature institutional insignia, ensure consistency across campuses, and project a sophistication worthy of academic achievements.

Yuesun3D’s Custom Baroque Frames met this need perfectly. The intricate design delivered traditional academic elegance, while the customization options let each university express its unique identity. The group particularly valued how the designs incorporated specific architectural elements from their historic campuses.

Collaborative Customization and Production Excellence

The project involved detailed collaboration between Yuesun3D’s design team and the education group’s administrative committee:

• ​Design Adaptation:​​ Created frame designs that incorporated Gothic architectural elements from the universities’ historic buildings alongside traditional Baroque motifs. Each frame design was tailored to reflect the specific character of different faculties and achievement levels.
• ​Material Selection:​​ Used premium, museum-quality composite materials that provided the weight and feel of traditional carved wood while offering superior durability and consistency. The finishes included genuine gold leaf accents for highest-level awards.
• ​Customization Options:​​ Developed a system for incorporating university crests, mottos, and specific achievement dates into the intricate scrollwork. Different color schemes were created to distinguish between academic disciplines and award levels.
• ​Production Scalability:​​ Manufactured 15,000 frames across twelve different design variations with a production timeline of five weeks. Yuesun3D implemented a just-in-time delivery system that coordinated with each university’s graduation schedule.

Enhanced Institutional Prestige and Operational Efficiency

The ​Custom 3D Printed Baroque Frames​ significantly elevated the presentation of academic awards across all member institutions. The education group reported a 40% increase in positive feedback from students and parents regarding award presentations. The frames became cherished keepsakes, with many graduates displaying them prominently in professional offices and homes.

The ability to offer consistent yet customized frames across multiple institutions created a cohesive brand identity while respecting individual campus traditions. The durability of the 3D printed frames resulted in a 70% reduction in damage during shipping and handling compared to their previous traditional frames.

Financially, the education group achieved a 25% cost saving compared to their previous supplier, despite the significantly higher quality and customization. The success of this initiative led to an expanded partnership with Yuesun3D for other institutional display items and commemorative pieces.

This collaboration demonstrated how 3D printing technology could transform traditional academic regalia into customizable, cost-effective solutions that enhance institutional prestige and create lasting impressions for recipients.
