If the quality of jade itself determines 60% of the price of jade, then carving accounts for at least 30% of other factors, and may even determine the success or failure of a piece of jade. A very common jade material, after clever coloring and creative carving, will appreciate dozens of times.
The picture above is a computer carved template.
Modern hand carving uses high-speed motors to drive various Jin Gangzuan grinders to cut jade. We call the process of hand modeling hand carving. This is also an important reference index to distinguish ancient jade from modern jade from processing marks. After all, few people are willing to use the old technology to ponder jade, which is too inefficient.
In order to save expensive carving expenses and make beautiful jade articles that people like, ultrasonic machine model carving technology is adopted now, which greatly improves the carving efficiency on the premise of ensuring the pattern effect.
The machine drives the mold to vibrate and rub back and forth on the surface of the jade material at the frequency of ultrasonic waves, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly solving the jade carving, thus greatly reducing the cost of jade carving.
What's the difference between machine carving and hand carving?
First, the computer worker: the edge is even and flat, and there is no inward concave arc.
Second, manual: the edge has an inward concave arc.
Third, the comparison between computer workers and manual workers:
1, there are fewer tools for computer machine carving, generally speaking, there are only two or three kinds, and there are more tools for manual carving.
2. The tool will leave a mark on the jade after use, and the edge has a concave arc, which is divided into shades. Every knife carved by computer is uniform.
3, hand-carved with temperature, ingenious conception and beautiful artistic conception. The same is true of computer sculpture, which is mainly based on simple modeling.
How to tell a mechanic from a model repaired by hand?
Computer workers are generally in relief, and the relief is shallow, which is very troublesome to repair and involves labor costs. Usually, the overall maintenance cost is very high. In this case, it is better to buy a good brand and carve it by hand, which is not more meaningful and valuable!
Moreover, computer workers have templates. If a good jade template is popular, other computer sculptors will not give up this opportunity to sell it, and the relative merchants will not imitate it.
