Let's talk about the two necessary means to realize the information technology of the traditional carving industry:

One. The purchase of engraving equipment.

Engraving machine tools have actually had a history of many years in China, which can be said to be nothing new. All along, due to the large demand for engraving machines in the advertising industry, advertising engraving machines are everywhere in China. As other industries put forward new demands for engraving machine tools, the manufacturers of their equipment have also made professional adjustments to the product structure. , Resulting in professional carving machine tools suitable for various industries, such as woodworking, craft gifts, jewelry and jade, coinage, shoemaking, mold and other industries. Each industry has different requirements for hardware equipment. It is best to find a professional manufacturer to buy an engraving machine. Professional manufacturers generally analyze the products to be processed by customers and recommend equipment that matches the hardware parameters and customer needs. Generally speaking, customers do not need to pursue large and complete machine tools, but choose according to their actual needs. For example, a factory that always processes small jade ornaments, the possibility of processing large-format products is almost zero, and there is no need to buy For equipment that exceeds one meter in size, such investment is wasteful. For example, the engraved products are all fine relief crafts. It is best to choose a CNC machine tool that uses a precision high-speed spindle motor to ensure that the small tool can obtain a higher cutting line speed, maintain a higher rotation accuracy, and generate sufficient high-speed cutting force. , Reduce vibration and beat the broken knife. In general, the purchase of equipment should be based on practicality, taking into account the possibility of development. If you choose flashy equipment because of the face or the psychology of perfection, the investment cost is too high and the use is not worth the gains. In short, if you want to get rid of the shackles brought by traditional hand-carving and realize modern production, you must choose one or more carving equipment suitable for your company.

two. Application process of professional engraving software ArtCAM:

The application of ArtCAM carving software can be divided into the following three processes:

• 3D modeling

The current mainstream 3D relief software can support the use of external data files, such as photos, albums, prints, hand-painted drafts, computer picture files, etc. By digitizing these files, they can be edited on the computer, such as scanning In order to process the relief products we want, the CNC machine tool must give it the data of the three-dimensional structure and let the machine head move and cut in space, so three-dimensional computer modeling is a necessary step. Its advantage is that the product design is "virtualized", you can watch the effect directly on the computer without processing samples, modify it arbitrarily, shorten the design cycle, avoid some human errors, and the design idea is broader and the designer can play The arbitrariness has increased and the product styling options have become more diversified, which is undoubtedly a weapon for the value-added and efficiency-enhancing of carving companies.

• computer program

Once you have a three-dimensional relief model, enter the "Tool Path Module", set up the tool library, select the tools we need, and let the computer analyze how to arrange the generation of the tool path, perform the optimal calculation, and get a most time-saving engraving plan . During the analysis and calculation process, you can perform 3D tool path simulation in real time and watch the processing. If you think the tool path is unreasonable, you can set it again and then simulate again. At the same time, you can choose different tools to work according to the different areas, which can effectively save man-hours. (For example, when engraving and milling a large plane, using a large-diameter end mill is much more time-saving than using a small-sized pointed engraving knife, and the flatness of the plane is better).

• Perform processing

After entering the software transmission system, load in the tool path file that has been generated, you can preview it first, estimate the processing time, after confirming that it is correct, press "Start" to process, and the engraving machine can work. After the engraving is completed, the cutter head will automatically return to position, and the spindle motor will stop. Generally, there is not much time for people to intervene, and the safety of the workers is greatly guaranteed.

3. Application of management software Psteam

In today's information age, enterprise management needs efficient management methods, effective working methods and a convenient "IT management environment" to ensure efficient work and complete tasks on time. Otherwise, too much time is spent on "finding information", "finding information" and "finding people", and too little time is doing what should be done, resulting in inefficient work of the enterprise, and the application of management software can realize the enterprise Information security, data integration, real-time communication and task interoperability between various departments will improve the management mode of the enterprise to the greatest extent, achieve the most scientific and efficient collaborative work, and create more value for the enterprise.

In summary, the use of information technology for industrial production and management in the field of engraving has become a general trend. In the next few years, product technology innovation in the engraving industry will become mainstream, and the application of information technology will make the domestic engraving industry's processing level and products. The quality has been improved to a new level, making Chinese carving art truly go abroad and go to the world!
