When we walk into some jade shops every day, we can see some small-priced Guanyin or Buddha statues for around a hundred yuan. Many of the faces are very blurry or have dull expressions. Why is this? The reason is that these products are generally produced by computer engraving technology, referred to as "machine engraving". As science and technology develop more and more, in the jade carving industry, machine carving technology has also become more and more powerful. You know, before such advanced technology, everything was carved manually, and carving a piece of work might take several days or even longer, but now machine carving technology is so advanced that people may not even realize it. The earliest technology was mold pressing. The principle is to prepare steel molds in advance, and then use ultrasound and diamond abrasives to press and grind out patterns on the jade, like a seal, but the style and carving effects of the resulting things are particularly poor. Then came computer numerical control engraving. At this time, computer carving became popular, and various jade plaques began to use this type of computer carving. At the beginning, CNC carving was only a flat relief, and not many finished products could be made. With the rapid development, 3D printing has emerged, and its application to jade carving is 3D carving. From jade plaques to various carved ornaments, machine carving technology has become omnipotent! And now to laser engraving. The video above shows the laser engraving technology. Ever since machine engraving appeared in the market, there has been constant controversy. Some say it is good, some say it is not. But no matter what, you can see more and more machine engravings in the market! For example, the recently popular one-yuan coin: It should be called the 100 million coin~ This kind of small machine-carved thing can be seen in many markets. It looks like a real coin, but with a 100 million added~ As a handicraft, we will see more and more similar products! It is said that there are no two identical leaves in the world, and this also makes sense in the jade industry. Each piece of jade is unique. This not only refers to its quality, but also its carving. Different sculptors will carve the same subject in different styles, not to mention the works carefully designed according to the characteristics of the jade material. Artificial art also includes high and low grades. From design, carving to final polishing, each step requires the jade carver to carefully carve and strictly control. There are many ways to carve jade, such as relief, openwork, hollow carving, line carving, negative carving, round carving, etc. The clever use of these carving methods can play a role in highlighting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, adding wings to a tiger, and adding the finishing touch, making jade more dazzling. Every stroke is full of spirituality, and thousands of ingenuity are condensed in a small space. A good craftsman can use his own hands to give a piece of stone a poetic new life, and each finished product has its own unique charm. When collecting a piece of jade, in addition to paying attention to the "type", "color" and "water head" of the material, the carving craftsmanship should also be noted. fcgc66 fcpf18 |
