Chapter 87: The Power of Industrial Technology
Bai Shao'an felt that his eyes were dry, rubbed his eyes slightly, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw that a wax model of a piece of jewelry had been baked!
"It's done!" Du Mingxuan said.
"It's done? This is done?" Bai Shao'an didn't react for a while, this speed was too fast! From the beginning of the printing to the end of the printing, did it take fifteen seconds? It seems that there is not!
"Yes, it's done!" Du Mingxuan reaffirmed, "Now you can test whether there is any difference between this wax version of the 'Golden Bead Under the Moon' and the design." ”
"How long has it been?" Bai Shao'an felt a little angry, carving wax was an extremely "sacred" job in his opinion. If you want to engrave a wax plate of a piece of jewelry, you have to take the time to understand the design of the jewelry, every pattern, every setting, every structure, and even what the meaning behind the pattern represents.
To do one thing to the extreme, this is what a craftsman should do!
And now, the young man made the jewelry wax plate that he had not been able to complete for nearly a month, and the time spent looking at the design drawings was less than twenty minutes!
In his opinion, this is a blasphemy against art! How can this perfunctory approach be right for its design?
"The printing process took 12 seconds. Du Mingxuan said, "It should be okay." The original intention of 3D printers is to help improve the efficiency of manufacturing. ”
"Twelve seconds! Xiao Jin! What good things can be made in twelve seconds?" Bai Shaoan was really angry.
"Don't be angry, let's see how good it is. Yang Jin was a little calmer than him, she put on gloves, picked up tweezers, gently picked up the wax material, and watched.
At this look, Yang Jin's eyes were attracted. Although colored waxes do not look as expensive as jewelry, colored pigments can bring out some fine structures.
The overall structure is definitely not a problem. The hollow structure that the wax carver took great pains to complete can be easily completed in front of the 3D printer!
Looking at the small structure and patterns, Yang Jin picked up a magnifying glass, carefully compared everywhere, and did not let go of any detail!
"This ......" From the first second he picked up the magnifying glass, Yang Jin held his breath!
As a designer, she knows every detail of the above well! Under the magnifying glass, she can't find any fault with the pattern and inlay, which is exactly the same as her own design!
Yang Jin's beautiful eyes were already colored, and he looked at this wax earring with eyes full of joy and excitement.
"Sister Yang, how is it?" Du Mingxuan asked.
"Good!" Yang Jin did not hesitate to hide his praise, "It's so beautiful! It's impeccable, I can't find a single flaw, not even the layer lines that appear on other 3D printers!"
"Of course, our technology is second to none!"
"Let me see!" Bai Shaoan didn't believe in this evil, so he had to watch it for himself.
"Look!" Yang Jin gave him the things, and it was his turn to watch.
In order to observe more closely, Bai Shao'an sat upright at the table and held a high-powered magnifying glass to observe! Under the magnifying glass, any flaws that are difficult to find with the naked eye will be exposed! He did not believe that what the machine took 12 seconds to make could be more exquisite than the work of himself, a famous wax carver in the capital!
But the more he held this mentality of finding fault, the more uneasy Bai Shaoan felt. Because under observation, he didn't find anything to fault with!
"The structure is fine, the carving is fine, the inlays are ...... I can't find the layers, this ......" Bai Shaoan panicked, he actually felt an inexplicable fear!
A machine can do it in a matter of seconds to complete a work that is difficult to complete with all your own efforts!
"Master Bai, isn't it very powerful!" Yang Jinqiao's face was full of joy, and she said expectantly: "I want to use it to make a plaster mold now, and then make a real 'golden pearl under the moon'!"
Bai Shaoan didn't answer her, his old face seemed to become dim, and at this moment, he began to doubt life!
For so many years, he has painstakingly pondered the wax carving technique, what is this for? In order to be replaced by a machine?
"Master Bai?" Yang Jin saw that something was wrong, and asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"
"I ......" Bai Shao'an opened his mouth, as if he had lost the strength to speak, and after a while, he let out a long sigh, "Hey!"
"I have nothing to say about this!" Bai Shao'an's eyes seemed to have lost their lustre, and he looked at the works printed by the 3D printer blankly.
"No matter what the details, they are more perfect than my wax carvings, and they can be said to be flawless!
"Master Bai, thank you for the compliment. Du Mingxuan thanked, this old man was stubbornly questioning their products just now, and now he actually started to say good things for them, which is really rare.
"The times are really progressing too fast, I'm old, I can't keep up!" Bai Shaoan felt exhausted.
"Master Bai, don't be presumptuous!" Yang Jinhui looked at Lan Xin and saw Bai Shao'an's loneliness.
"Machines can do things that we can't do with humans, but they're just a tool for us," she reassures. I use it to be more productive and get some hard work done. ”
"Your craftsmanship is much more precious than a machine! Jewelry and design have no value. It is the people who give it value, and it has value! When it is given meaning, it becomes precious! And you are the one who gives it value and precious!"
"No matter how beautiful the jewelry made by the machine is, it is not as precious as the jewelry carved by your own hands!"
"Sister Yang is right. Du Mingxuan also said, "3D jewelry printers are products used for industrial manufacturing. It is designed to meet some personalized customization services, and what comes out of this is just a commodity. What you make is a work of art!"
When they said this, Bai Shao'an's mood improved, he smiled bitterly twice, and said: "Okay, my old man has been doing this all his life, and he won't be hit so easily." ”
"Now let's put plaster on it, and make Xiao Jin's 'Golden Bead Under the Moon' in one go!"
The 3D printer prints a wax model, uses this wax model to make a plaster model, and then pours gold and silver water into the embryo, and after retouching, the real jewelry manufacturing is completed.
After Bai Shao'an finished speaking, Yang Jin personally began to operate, ready to take this opportunity to complete his design works.
