Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a process for producing filigree-textured gold, specifically a digitally quantifiable CNC manufacturing process for producing filigree-textured gold. Background Technology

[0002] The beauty of gold jewelry lies in its craftsmanship; different techniques showcase different characteristics. Filigree inlay, also known as fine goldwork, involves using eight techniques—piling, stacking, weaving, pinching, filling, assembling, and soldering—to create gold jewelry. Filigree has the following characteristics: exquisite craftsmanship; it is extremely delicate, requiring experienced artisans and superb skills to complete, resulting in excellent aesthetics and collectability; vibrant colors; it typically uses gemstones, beads, and other materials of various colors for inlay, making the jewelry bright and rich in color, eye-catching; strong three-dimensionality; and unique beauty; it showcases the texture and characteristics of gold, while the meticulous inlay technique creates a beautiful and luxurious aesthetic, allowing viewers to appreciate the nobility and opulence of gold jewelry.

[0003] Traditional gold filigree craftsmanship involves each piece being handcrafted by artisans, requiring meticulous work and a combination of techniques. The process is complex and demanding, requiring highly skilled craftsmen and extensive training. The time-consuming and complex process makes standardized mass production difficult, hindering market demand. Modern gold filigree techniques have emerged, using molds or machining to create a blank, followed by sandblasting and wire drawing to replicate the surface texture of traditional filigree gold. While cost-effective and efficient, this method can only achieve a vintage look with a matte finish that is easily scratched and lacks luster. Therefore, to improve the efficiency of traditional gold filigree production, enable mass production, and enhance quality, this invention proposes a digitally standardized CNC-controlled method for manufacturing filigree-textured gold. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a digitally standardized CNC manufacturing process for producing filigree-textured gold.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A digitally quantifiable CNC manufacturing process for producing filigree-textured gold includes the following steps:

[0007] S1: Collect the traditional pattern of intertwined branches and vines, and convert the traditional pattern of intertwined branches and vines into image format;

[0008] S2: Using digital software, the images of traditional intertwined floral patterns are digitized, and the design is carried out by refining and rearranging the elements. The distance between the lines is also accurately calculated using digital simulation technology.

[0009] S3: Through programming software, the micro-carving tool is made to work with the machine, and special tools are used to precisely control the carving depth;

[0010] S4: After precise calculation and multiple verifications, micro-milling is performed using specified tools, so that the top is formed with a fine high-gloss surface through overcutting and undercutting between lines, creating a delicate soft light, and the bottom is formed with a silk-like texture through the turning of the tool path and the refraction of the tool cutting angle.

[0011] S5: Install the production mold material onto the CNC machine and use the CNC machine to complete the product manufacturing, forming a fine filamentous texture on the product surface. The fine texture reflects light, making the product surface present the desired product effect.

[0012] S6: As described above, by using the intertwined vine pattern as the basic texture, a rich variety of traditional patterns can be created from it, thus realizing the digitalized and standardized CNC gold manufacturing process.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step 1, which involves collecting traditional intertwined floral patterns, specifically includes the following steps:

[0014] S11: First, collect traditional patterns and vine patterns, including one or more of the following: rubbing, photographing, and drawing of traditional patterns and vine patterns templates.

[0015] S12: Then, the collected traditional pattern of intertwined branches is photographed to form an image of the traditional pattern of intertwined branches.

[0016] S13: Finally, the images of the traditional pattern twining branches after shooting are processed using professional image processing software to make the traditional pattern twining branches clear and accurate, thus completing the process of collecting the traditional pattern twining branches.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step 12, the traditional intertwined branch pattern is converted into a JPG format image.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the professional image processing software used in step 13 is Photoshop.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the programming software used in step 3 is either JDSoftSurfMill or Hypermill, which is used to digitize the collected images of traditional pattern twining branches.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a 0.05 mm micro-carving tool is used in step 3, and the carving depth needs to be precisely controlled between 0.01 mm and 0.02 mm.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the micro-milling tool used in step 4 is a 120° artificial single crystal diamond tool (MCD).

[0022] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the CNC machine used in step 5 is one of Beijing Jingdiao and Guanglijin.

[0023] This invention provides a digitally quantifiable CNC manufacturing process for producing filigree-textured gold, which has the following advantages:

[0024] 1. This invention realizes intelligent manufacturing to replace traditional manual labor. It utilizes CNC machines to replace the traditional ancient gold filigree technique, achieving a fashionable filigree texture on products. This effectively improves the efficiency of gold production and processing. Furthermore, the high-precision CNC manufacturing equipment enables the digital and standardized replication of the ancient gold filigree technique, achieving the "delicate, soft-light, and elegantly retro" filigree effect of traditional gold craftsmanship, highlighting a sense of meticulous craftsmanship and understated luxury. The CNC machine can complete the product manufacturing, forming a fine, thread-like texture on the product surface. This fine texture reflects light, avoiding the dullness and susceptibility to scratches and abrasions inherent in modern ancient filigree techniques. The digital and standardized production method significantly shortens the production cycle, reduces manufacturing difficulty, enables mass production, and ensures both product quality and quantity.

[0025] 2. The present invention, based on traditional patterns, creates a fine, high-gloss surface on the top through micro-milling with a cutting tool. The refraction angle created by the cutting at the bottom creates a delicate, soft sheen and a silk-like texture when viewed from different angles. This results in a fashionable filigree texture that is similar to, yet differentiated from, traditional filigree techniques. This gives the product a "fine, soft sheen, retro elegance" appearance.

[0034] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] Example 1: As Figure 1-7 As shown, a digitally quantizable CNC manufacturing process for producing filigree-textured gold includes the following steps:

[0036] S1: Collect the traditional pattern of intertwined branches and vines, and convert the traditional pattern of intertwined branches and vines into image format;

[0037] The process of collecting traditional floral patterns includes the following steps:

[0038] S11: First, collect traditional patterns and vine patterns, including one or more of the following: rubbing, photographing, and drawing of traditional patterns and vine patterns templates.

[0039] S12: Then, the collected traditional pattern of intertwined branches is photographed to form an image of the traditional pattern of intertwined branches, and the traditional pattern of intertwined branches is converted into a JPG image.

[0040] S13: Finally, the images of the traditional pattern twining branches after shooting are processed. Professional image processing software is used to make the traditional pattern twining branches clear and accurate. Photoshop is used to complete the acquisition process of the traditional pattern twining branches.

[0041] S2: Using digital software, the images of traditional intertwined floral patterns are digitized, and the design is carried out by refining and rearranging the elements. The distance between the lines is also accurately calculated using digital simulation technology.

[0042] S3: The micro-carving tool works with the machine through programming software, and special tools are used to precisely control the carving depth. The programming software used is either JDSoft SurfMill or Hypermill. It is used to digitize the collected images of traditional patterns and intertwined branches. A 0.05 mm micro-carving tool is used, and the carving depth needs to be precisely controlled between 0.01 mm and 0.02 mm.

[0043] S4: After precise calculation and multiple verifications, micro-milling is performed using specified tools, so that the top is formed with a fine high-gloss surface through overcutting and undercutting between lines, forming a delicate soft light, and the bottom is formed with a silk-like texture through the turning of the tool path and the refraction of the tool cutting angle. The micro-milling tool used is a 120° artificial single crystal diamond tool (MCD).

[0044] S5: The production mold material is installed on a CNC machine, and the product is made using the CNC machine. A fine, thread-like texture is formed on the product surface. The light is reflected by this fine texture, so that the product surface presents the desired product effect. This avoids the shortcomings of modern traditional filigree craftsmanship, such as dull and lack of luster, and easy scratching. It can effectively improve the quality of filigree gold production. The CNC machine used is one of Beijing Jingdiao and Guanglijin.

[0045] S6: As described above, by using the intertwined vine pattern as the basic texture, a rich variety of traditional patterns can be created from it. This enables digitalized and standardized CNC gold manufacturing processes, greatly shortening the production cycle, reducing manufacturing difficulty, achieving mass production, and ensuring the quality and quantity of products.

[0046] Specifically, this invention involves creating a fine, high-gloss surface on the top of a traditional pattern through micro-milling with a cutting tool. The refraction angle created by the cutting at the bottom creates a delicate, soft sheen and a silk-like texture when viewed from different angles. This results in a fashionable filigree texture that is similar to, yet differentiated from, traditional filigree techniques. The result is a product with a "refined, soft sheen and retro elegance."

[0047] Example 2: Figure 3-7 As shown, a digitally quantizable CNC manufacturing process for producing filigree-textured gold includes the following steps:

[0048] S1: Convert the traditional twining floral pattern into a JPG image and import it using JDSoft SurfMill software;

[0049] S2: Use the "spline curve" in the 2D environment of JDSoft SurfMill to outline the spline lines of the pattern;

[0050] S3: Extract the elements of the spline of the intertwined pattern, and combine them with the characteristics of the spline in CNC machine tool processing. When the CNC machine tool processes the spline, the spline with the deviation of the angle will form two different lusters on the gold surface. Based on this characteristic, the smooth and rounded lines of the intertwined pattern need to be redesigned to form the basic line drawing.

[0051] S4: Utilizing Hypermill software programming, precise simulation is employed. The simulation accurately calculates the dimensions of the finished fine-gloss surface, ranging from 0.07 mm to 0.15 mm. Numerous fine glossy surfaces create varying degrees of shine. Therefore, through digitalized intertwined patterns, three different sheens can be observed on the same plane. This results in a product surface with a "refined, soft sheen and retro elegance." Even if scratches occur during use, the scratches are invisible to the naked eye, making the product surface more wear-resistant.

[0052] Compared to traditional ancient gold filigree techniques and modern antique-style gold filigree processes, this invention achieves intelligent manufacturing to replace traditional manual methods. Utilizing CNC machines to replace the manual handcrafting of traditional ancient gold filigree techniques, it achieves a fashionable filigree texture on the product, effectively improving the efficiency of gold production and processing. Furthermore, the high-precision CNC manufacturing equipment enables the digital and standardized replication of the ancient gold filigree process, achieving the "delicate, soft-light, and elegantly retro" filigree effect of traditional gold craftsmanship, highlighting a sense of meticulous craftsmanship and understated luxury. The CNC machine can complete the product manufacturing, forming a fine, thread-like texture on the product surface. This fine texture reflects light, avoiding the dullness and susceptibility to scratches and abrasions inherent in modern ancient filigree techniques. The digital and standardized production method significantly shortens the production cycle, reduces manufacturing difficulty, enables mass production, and ensures both product quality and quantity.
