A brief introduction to the technological process of stone crafts

stone crafts processing technology: before making the finished product, use specific soil materials to make the goods to be made. After the clay sculpture is completed, the plaster outer mold is turned over and the stone sculpture is painted inside the outer mold. After drying, the outer mold is opened and the finished stone crafts is obtained through the mold locking process. However, stone crafts often begin to warp, become sensitive, and crack after being exposed to sunlight and wind erosion outdoors for over five years.

1. Clay sculpture production
① According to the design drawings and the characteristics of the finished product, prepare the supporting frame and shape in advance.
②Fill in mud. Depending on the style of stone carving, different methods can be used. Such as foam cutting, scraper and other methods.
③ Engraving and finishing can only proceed to the next step after customer approval.
2. Turn over the mold
①Technicians will determine the treatment method for the clay sculpture surface based on various factors.
②Flip different material molds according to customer requirements. For example, silicone mold, plaster mold, or Stone Carving mold.
Several types of molds have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, the cost of silicone molds is very high. FRP molds can also be used several times, and the finished results are also very good, but they have variability defects. The plaster mold is disposable and the cost is lower.
③When making molds, technicians should divide the mold into two or more pieces according to the shape of the product. but his religion
It means that the mold will not be damaged. It is easy to install and put together.
3. Made into finished products
①The stone crafts are made using the hand-paste molding method. Flip multiple modules individually.
②Patchwork, also known as assembly. In order to form modular goods, they are then formed into a whole.
③Resolve the seams. After multiple module products are assembled, the gaps must be glued and polished to resolve.
④Bracket production. That is, the frame that supports the stability of the finished product is generally made of steel.
4. Post-production
① Resin putty Resin putty and polish.
②The effect is solved. According to techniques such as color painting, spray painting, distressing, and gold pasting, gold and silver can be imitated.
Copper, imitation antique copper, imitation jade, imitation stone. For example, imitation antique copper, there are more than a dozen techniques and effects, the color is natural and round, the obvious copper texture, the real patina, the pattern and the lines are very delicate. This is something that cannot be achieved by metal manufacturing.
