Signage knowledge and engraving process

Signage concept

The signs we refer to are signs that are marked for visual effects. In concept, it should be called SIGNBOARD. Because people call plate signage the form of signage. Therefore, through the communication between the East and the West, it gradually gained the nominal meaning of the real sign.

· Classification of signs:

Signs are roughly divided into three categories: shape and material expression, and purpose of use.

1. Morphological classification:
Morphological classification is the first choice for classifying signs, the reason is that it is the most obvious difference. Morphological classification can also be divided into the following five categories.
1) Horizontal signage: The entire ratio is relatively long, and the entire surface is generally used as advertising signs, which can be seen on the walls of small shops and large buildings.
2) Vertical signage: The vertical length of the whole ratio is relatively long, and generally the entire surface is used as an advertising signage.
3) Protruding signage: It protrudes on the wall surface of the building, and both sides are used as the signage of the advertising carrier when the whole surface except the backside or the side walls are on both sides.
4) Ground pillar signs: horizontal, vertical, and three-dimensional signs that are marked on certain fixed structures on the ground.
5) Roof-type signage: It refers to a plate-shaped or cube-shaped or slide-shaped sign that is provided with some fixed structures on the roof of some buildings and hung or stuck on it.

· Function and function of sign:

First: The signage has the function of SIGN. The signage mainly expresses its function through vision, for example, text communication, and the sign has the function of symbolism, directionality, suggestion, etc. The text style can show character and background. The form and symbol together show symbolic and constructive meaning.
Second: Signage is a kind of information transmission media, it has the function of ADVERTISEMENT.
Third: Signage performs industrial functions and functions. In today's high-tech modern automation society, with the needs of social construction, signage manufacturing will have its own position. More large-scale signs basically meet all the needs of today's high-tech modern automation society. Therefore, we cannot call sign manufacturing a simple labor industry.

· Classification of sign material:

The so-called material refers to the main material used for signage. On the basis of the mixing of various materials, it mainly refers to the materials that express the text and the more prominent parts on the surface.

1) Smooth signage: oily, very smooth signage on the screen or board surface.
2) Luminous material (neon) sign: a sign that uses luminous material (neon) as the main material of the board or text of the sign (that is, the neon light we usually say).
3) Acrylic sign (acrylic): Use acrylic material as the main plate sign.
4) Metal signage: When there is no special designation of the board surface, the metal is used as the main material of the board surface or text of the signage.
5) Electro-optical board: a sign that realizes the expression effect of monochrome or color with light-emitting diodes or luminous tubes. According to light-emitting diodes and performance methods, it can be divided into five categories: night-light photoelectric panels, LCD, LED, CRT, FDT and so on.

· Classification of use purpose:

When do signages coexist on the six principles? Where? What purpose? Reasons to wait.
1) When?
A. Illumination signs For day and night use, install luminous tubes inside the signs or install a light projector inside, or install lights on the outside of the signs.
B. No illuminated sign: no separate purpose for day and night use, no sign for any lighting facilities.
2) Where?
A. Indoor signs are signs set indoors, such as direction arrow signs, indoor reception signs, etc.
B, outdoor signs: signs located in all non-indoor spaces.
3) What purpose?
a) Commercial signs generally refer to signs established for commercial purposes.
b) Public signs are set up in public places, and are signs used to announce messages to the public or to publish certain information.
c) Other signs: The above signs can be regarded as a classification with a fixed effect. In fact, there are also advertising materials that assist this type of signs. These advertising materials do not include materials in the "board" category.
1) Border signage: generally referred to as "JANNER". Mainly used for the expression of text. Generally, a copper plate or other metal plate is used as the frame of the text, and it can be divided into a front frame and a rear frame according to the direction of the frame.
2) The self-made border is similar to the border sign, and it is also a sign mainly used for text expression. The general manufacturing method is as follows: first stick the board on the thick rubber board, and then use the rotary saw to make it.
3) Wooden signs are painted on square planks or round planks with paint or carved with a sharp knife, and then dyed on the carved pattern with paint.
4) Posting a sign: a sign on which a printed matter is affixed on a bare wood or synthetic fiber board, expressing words or patterns.
5) Sheet signage is a color expression material widely used in advertising. Because PVC (polyvinyl chloride) has adhesive properties, it can be used to fully display the characteristics of advertising signs. But it can only be used on rough surfaces like metal plates, frosted glass plates, etc.

· Carved sign

Generally refers to a method of using a rotary saw or a vertical saw to carve out text or patterns from rubber plates or copper plates or other plates. In the mid-1980s, rubber plates with acrylic acid (acrylic) were typical materials at that time. But now it has developed to metal plate, copper plate, aluminum plate and other materials. In order to show the three-dimensional sense of small text, it has been applied to acrylic (acrylic) materials. Although the engraved sign does not have the point that the body glows or the font is illuminated, it can express the text content alone.

Rubber engraved signs Copper plates engraved signs Acrylic acid plates (acrylic) engraved signs A) Main materials The main materials for engraved signs are: rubber plates, copper plates, wooden boards, all plates that can be sawed off can be used as engraving The main material of the sign.
——Aluminum plate——AVS plate——Rubber plate——Pure copper——Acrylic plate (acrylic)
B) Production process A. Manual method: Paste the pattern completed by computer or hand on the board. Put the patterned board on the rotary saw to cut off the parts other than the required parts.
Follow the pattern line of the original and saw it off with a rotary saw.
After completing the above work, peel off the pattern paper attached to the board, and sweep away the broken pieces of the board.
B. Mechanical methods input the patterns completed by the computer to the CNC engraving machine. Set the knife depth, rotation speed, cut or engrave the required graphics according to the characteristics of the material, and then bond or fill the color. [next]

Sign carving process

Engraving technology has long existed in the history of our country, and after thousands of years of development, it has reached a very high level. Among them, the artistic level and engraving technology have already become the treasures of the Chinese nation and are widely used in various fields of society.

However, with the rapid development of society, the continuous improvement of scientific and technological level and the continuous increase of material types, hand-carving can no longer meet the development needs of society, mainly manifesting the following three aspects:

1. Mass production:

Due to the increase in social demand, hand-carving has been unable to meet the needs of mass production.

Second, high precision and product consistency:

After all, manual production has limited precision and cannot maintain the consistency of the product, so it cannot meet the increasing use requirements of people.

3. The adaptability of the material:

With the continuous emergence of various new materials, hand-carving cannot meet the requirements of various new materials. The characteristics of the materials are different, and the required processing strength is different. Of course, this does not mean that hand-carving will be eliminated by society. For example, in some special fields, hand-carving still has its irreplaceable status.

The following highlights the engraving tools that are widely used in the market today-engraving machines. At present, engraving machines on the market are mainly divided into the following four categories:

1. CNC 3D mould engraving machine

This kind of engraving machine is relatively rare in the market, and currently only used in some large-scale machining centers in southern China. Because of its high price, it is only used to process molds for high-precision products, such as injection molds, stamping molds, and military products for home appliances, toys, and gifts.

2. High-power laser engraving machine

This engraving machine is characterized by high power (1700w-3000w), high accuracy (0.02mm), and large processing area (1500 × 3000mm). Based on the above characteristics, this equipment has a certain use in the field of advertising production. Such as the production of various metal three-dimensional characters, the production of metal signs, and the production of various metal plates.

In addition, it can also process some special industrial parts, such as micro-well plates, shaped workpieces, etc.

3. Ordinary laser engraving machine

Ordinary laser engraving machine refers to laser engraving machine with laser power in the range of 10-100w. The characteristic of this type of engraving machine is that it can be engraved or cut, and it can engrave complex patterns according to different materials and production requirements. Due to the high processing accuracy, the plates of different colors can be engraved and etched separately, and then inlaid, bonded, superimposed, etc. to produce a very effective sign. It can also easily engrave all kinds of text on the surface of the workpiece, which opens up a vast space for personalized gift making. Due to the moderate price, this type of engraving machine has been widely used in advertising operations.

4. Computer engraving machine

The computer engraving machine is developed on the basis of the original manual engraving machine. Its main feature is the exchangeable tools, such as flat-bottomed knife, ball knife, cone knife, V-shaped knife, big head knife, etc., and it is also possible to make self-made knives according to your needs, so the flexibility of processing is greatly improved. The computer engraving machine is mainly used in mold making, which effectively improves the precision and efficiency of production, and makes the advertising production operation go out of the workshop era and enter the era of industrial production.

In daily work, customers often ask "How is the three-sided picture pasted?" In fact, this is a very simple question. There are only two ways to paste the three-sided flip screen:

1. "Spiderman" outdoor site paste;
2. Use the "washing board" bracket to paste (the machine is not mentioned here).

Generally, traditional outdoor billboards are mostly made of light box cloth, and because they are mostly a piece of cloth (a larger one needs to be stitched together by multiple pieces of cloth), after painting (splicing), take it to the outdoor corners and The perimeter is tethered to the billboard; however, because the three-sided flip screen uses car stickers, and the three-sided flip is combined by an independent triangular prism, the three-sided flip screen paste is more complicated. The specific method is as follows:

A. "Spiderman" outdoor paste:
1. Let the three sides turn on the same plane;
2. "Spiderman" mounts the horse, gently removes the original picture of the triangular prism, and cleans the dusty place;
3. Paste the car stickers from the top left corner or the top right corner of the three-turn machine, take out a car sticker that should be pasted in this position, straighten it from top to bottom, and remove the back of the car sticker Paper, hang it up gently;
4. Use the utility knife to cut the part between the three prisms with the utility knife along the edge of the three prisms;
5. Paste in this order, and the other two sides of the triangular prism can also be operated in this way.

Matters needing attention: a, "Spiderman" must pay attention to safety (everyone is not the Spiderman in the picture above), including the "Spiderman" to tie the seat belt must be secure and reliable; b, if conditions permit, the two cooperate It is more convenient; c, if you want to not delay the work, you need to prepare more utility knife blades.

B. Paste the bracket of the "washboard": (because the three-sided turning and pasting tool is like the laundry board that people take in the laundry before, we call it the "washboard" bracket)

1. Remove the triangular prisms to be pasted, it is best to use a marker to arrange them in order. (Most manufacturers' triangular prisms can be easily removed, just pull it up. , As simple as picking a light bulb);
2. Place the removed triangular prisms on the "washboard" in order, taking care to keep them flat;
3. Paste the picture from the top left corner or the top right corner, also paste one by one from top to bottom;
4. Cut the part between the triangular prisms of the pasted picture with a utility knife;
5. Paste the other two sides in this way;
6. Reinstall the triangular prisms in order.

Matters needing attention: a, it is best to arrange the number of the prism before removing it to avoid mistakes; b, pay attention to the collision when removing the prism, to prevent deformation; c, the place where the "washing board" is placed must be level .

In actual work, you can choose to replace the three-sided flip screen in different ways according to the actual situation. For example: if the billboard is large and the triangular prism is more troublesome to remove, you can choose "Spiderman"; If there is no space for "Spiderman", you can remove it and use the "washboard" bracket.
