Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
1st First, the artist creates either a two-dimensional drawing or a three-dimensional sculpture of the design into a metal template can be made. Drawings will be loaded into an optical scanner and uploaded as a digital image. Sculptures and carvings are under a laser scanner, which passed the deflected angle of the light over the entire surface of measures to check its exact three-dimensional form.
Then, special computer-aided design (CAD) rendering software converts this data into a scalable, three-dimensional map of the surface surveys.
Computer Numercial Control (CNC) milling machine
2nd Once the CAD software has created the surface chart for the design file, the file is sent to a high-precision milling machine. "Milling" is a generic term for the technique of cutting away metal-metal with a rotating, serrated knife. In CNC milling, each design is expressed as a grid with a finite number of points. Each point has a numeric value represents that the height / thickness of the grid. The CNC milling machine moves around the target metal plate and grind every point on the plate down on the appropriate level in the digital file. Several different tool used by small, cup-shaped heads too thick, saw-blades.
Materials
3rd Given its strength and resistance to deformation after repeated use, the brass alloy is most commonly used stencils for embossing. The pattern starts as a 1 - or 2-inch thick sheet of solid brass, purchased from a foundry. Although there is only a draft, to be made two different interlocking stencils must be: a male, positive template (aka die "debossing") and a female, reverse pattern (aka the "stamp"). Therefore, the CAD software creates two files: the original image based on the scanner table debossing and a negative imprint table, which is nothing but a perfect inverse is the former.
The two templates are then CNC machined from two separate plates, rinsed with water to prevent drying and with a special oil film to corrosion.
When finished, the two stencils packaged and sent to the client.
