The traditional way of working in the jade carving industry is to rely on jade carving masters to carve high-end jade carving patterns by hand with experience, so the industry is facing new technological reforms. Many jade carving factories have begun to use engraving machines instead of handwork, because there are fewer traditional handicrafts, and jade carving masters are more difficult to hire, and it is difficult to ensure the same effect every time when doing things manually. Therefore, the use of machines instead of machines must be the future direction of development. . However, if an engraving machine is used instead of labor, it is necessary to input 3D surface data in advance. The traditional way is to have a designer give drawings (forward design), but a good design requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
Below we use the 3D reverse design method to give a case of 3D surface data that can be input to the engraving machine. First, the 3D scanner (as shown below) will be used to scan the original or sludge part, and then import the engraving software to generate the engraving after generating the 3D data. Machine tool path, input the engraving machine to engrave and process.
Customer demand:
1. It can get the surface shape data of jade carving parts to assist rapid design
2. To accurately obtain the 3D data of the complex surface, you must be able to input the engraving machine software to finally engrave
3. Improve design time and reduce labor
4. Current difficulties that customers need to solve:
The traditional way is to have a designer give drawings (forward design), which is difficult and takes a long time, and the effect of the design will be biased when processed, resulting in material waste;
The method of collecting the three-dimensional data of jade cannot damage its surface, and the use of a contact scanner will cause great loss of the original;
Jade carving 3D scanning reverse solution (Blu-ray camera 3D scanner)
1. Preparation
First, surface treatment of the scanned sample:
1) The three-dimensional scanner uses an optical method to scan the object. Because the surface of the object is a reflective object, it needs to be surface treated and sprayed with a developer.
2) Paste the marked points, and the splicing of marked points is executed by software algorithm. The three-dimensional scanning system needs to superimpose the common mark points identified between the two scans so that the two scans exist in a unified coordinate system, so as to achieve complete data splicing.
2. Scan to obtain 3D data
The jade dragon samples are scanned in 3D, and our technical engineers use the blue-light camera-type 3D scanner (PTS-E) to scan to quickly obtain the 3D data of the jade dragon samples.
The jade carvings scanned by 3D scanner are displayed as follows:
Highlights of the Blu-ray camera 3D scanner used in the jade carving 3D scanning reverse solution:
1. Using blue light non-contact scanning, will not cause any damage to the surface of the object
2. Multi-angle scanning, automatic stitching, can avoid dead ends as much as possible
3. Scanning with 80×60 specification, the dot pitch can be 0.03mm, which is better to get the details of the object
4. Scanning is simple, scanning a piece of relief jade, about 5-6 directions, about 5 minutes
5. The scanned data is packaged by geomagic and converted into STL, which can be imported into Jingdiao software
6. Retouch the image in Jingdiao software (1. Smoothness of the surface shape 2. Vertical angle 3. Deepen the texture)
7. The carved jade pieces can achieve the realistic effect required by customers only after simple polishing
Summary of 3D scanning reverse solutions for jade carvings:
General jade carving customers require exactly the same effect as the sample pattern. To achieve this exactly the same effect, it is difficult to achieve the same effect with general drawing modeling. Therefore, the use of a 3D scanner can ensure that the scanned data is the same as the sample, and the definition is compared at the same time Good, it can save the time from drawing to processing, reduce costs for customers, and reduce labor. It originally took 1 to 2 days to draw and modify the shape. Scanning the pattern with a 3D scanner and then modifying it can be shortened to half a day Or 3 to 4 hours, you can also scan the materials and patterns and align them with software to increase the utilization rate of materials.
