stone carving is a type of composite material. With its unique performance advantages, stone carving materials are widely used in more than a dozen industries such as aerospace, building materials, pipelines, and yacht mooring ships. They have become the favorite of merchants in the new era of the materials industry. stone mountain carving are deeply loved by merchants and sellers for their shape, customization, and random color matching. They occupy an increasingly large market share and have broad prospects.
stone mountain carving can achieve the effects of imitating gold, silver, copper, imitation copper, imitation jade, imitation stone, etc. through painting, spraying, old-painting, gilding and other techniques. The production of stone mountain carving adopts hand lay-up molding method.
The production methods of stone mountain carving are basically divided into two categories: wet contact type and dry pressure molding. Before the
stone sculpture is made into a finished product, the product to be made must first be made into a specific mud material. After the mud draft is completed, the plaster shape is copied, and then the stone sculpture is painted inside the shape. After drying, the shape is opened and the finished stone mountain carving is obtained through the clamping process. However, after being exposed to the sun and wind erosion outdoors, stone mountain carving usually begin to deform and become fragile and easily cracked after five years or more.
stone mountain carving can be divided into round carvings and relief carvings according to their shapes. Segments include characters, animals, comics, shopping mall scenery, campuses, cities, European architecture, abstract art, props, etc. Whether it is a round sculpture or a relief sculpture, the production process is different. As long as you master the important stages, you can create beautiful and unique stone mountain carving.
1. Clay sculpture production
① Complete the support frame and shape in advance based on the design drawing and finished product characteristics.
②Fill in mud. Depending on the engraving style, different methods can be used. Foam shearing, scraper and other methods.
③Fine carving and finishing can only proceed to the next step after the customer's approval.
2. Copy the mold
①Technicians decide the treatment method of the mud surface based on various factors.
②Copy different material molds according to customer requirements. Such as silicone mold, plaster mold, or stone carving mold. Several molds each have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, the cost of silicone mold is extremely high, but the finished product produced by it has good effect. The stone carving mold can also be used multiple times, and the finished product effect is also very good, but it has the disadvantage of degeneration. Plaster models are disposable and low cost.
③When molding, technicians should divide two or more molds according to the shape of the product. But its purpose is to make installation easy and joint easy without damaging the mold.
3. Finished product production
① stone mountain carving are manufactured using hand lay-up molding methods. Duplicate multiple unit molds individually.
②Splicing, also called assembly. Based on this, unit products are formed and then combined into a whole.
