UPCOTT GILL, 170, STRAND, W.C, 1887. PRINTED BY A. BRADLEY, 170, STRAND, LONDON. 3W PREFACE. " JjJjtfN these days, when of making books there is no end," ^*^ and every description of work, whether professional or amateur, has a literature of its own, it is strange that scarcely anything should have been written on the fascinating arts of Chasing and Repousse Work. It is true that a few articles have appeared in various periodicals on the subject, but with scarcely an exception they treated only of Working on Wood, and the directions given were generally crude and imperfect. This is the more surprising when we consider how fashionable Repousse Work has become of late years, both here and in America; indeed, in the latter country, "Do you pound brass ? " is said to be a very common question. I have written the following pages in the hope that they might, in some measure, supply a want, and prove of service to my brother amateurs. It has been hinted to me that some of my chapters are rather "advanced;" in other words, that I have gone farther than amateurs are likely to follow me.

As well, it is birthplace to one of the world's oldest and most complex civilizations. By 1100 BC, a high level of artistic and technical skill in bronze casting had been achieved by the Chinese. Bronze artifacts initially were copies of clay objects, but soon evolved into shapes invoking bronze material characteristics. Essentially, the bronze alloys represented in the copper-tin-lead ternary diagram are not easily hot or cold worked and are difficult to shape by hammering, the most common techniques used by the ancient Europeans and Middle Easterners. This did not deter the Chinese, however, for they had demonstrated technical proficiency with hard, thin walled ceramics by the end of the Neolithic period and were able to use these skills to develop a most unusual casting method called the piece mold process. Advances in ceramic technology played an influential role in the progress of Chinese bronze casting where the piece mold process was more of a technological extension than a distinct innovation. Certainly, the long and specialized experience in handling clay was required to form the delicate inscriptions, to properly fit the molds together and to prevent them from cracking during the pour.

Two passes can be used for cutting thicker materials. There are two types of acrylic: cast is better for engraving (it creates a frosted look when engraved) and extruded acrylic produces a much better flame polished edge. * The Fusion has two sets of Speed control for vector cutting applications. Checking the Speed Comp selection box in the print driver will reduce the speed setting you have selected by one half. Speed Comp is most useful for speeds of 1 to 10.

  • The Lost-Wax Casting Process—Down to Basics by Eddie Bell, Founder, Santa Fe Symposium
    The Lost-Wax Casting Process—Down To Basics By Eddie Bell, Founder, Santa Fe Symposium. Lost-wax casting is a ancient technique that is used today in essentially the same manner as it was first used more than 5,000 years ago. As they say, there's no messing with success. Today, of course, technology has vastly expanded the technique and produced powerful equipment that makes the process faster, easier and more productive than ever, but the basic steps remain the same. The steps below represent a simple overview and are intended to provide a beginning understanding of the casting process. Concept This is obviously where the design is initally conceived, discussed,evolved, and captured on paper—or on computer; CAD (computer aided design) software is increasingly popular among designers. You create the design you envision using the computer tool and the software creates a file that can be uploaded into a CNC mill or 3D printer. Model Build a model, either by hand-carving, guided by the paper rendering, or by uploading the CAD file into a computer controlled milling machine or a 3D printing machine. Models are made using carving wax, resin or similar material. This process can also be done in metal by a goldsmith or silversmith. Note: If a 3D printer or other rapid prototyping equipment is used, it is possible to skip the molding and wax-injection steps by using one of the resins that are specially made to go directly to the treeing process. Molding Create a mold from your master model, placing it in one of a variety of rubber or silicone materials, curing the material, then removing the model from the finished mold.

  • Jay's Casting Demonstration
    Making a Master to Cast & Process for Casting It October 6 2018: Jay Levy What is “casting”? Casting is a manufacturing process in which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casting Why cast? Process and concept – When creating jewelry, you consider casting if a piece is far too difficult to make with fabrication (metalsmithing) or when you want to produce many identical pieces using a reusable mold. Professional casters generally make castings faster and/or cheaper than you can. (fyi: Casters are lower paid than bench technicians or metalsmiths). How is a model for a casting created? Lost wax techniques are 5000-6000 years old with bee wax and clay used instead of wax. Apart from wax, your model can be anything that melts away clean. Rules for working with Wax: None or few. Don’t contaminate wax with things that don’t burn out – e.g., not bones; Flowers and pine cones are castable “doable” but the cast piece may be too heavy. Styrofoam gives off formaldehyde, only floral green foam (Sternofoam) doesn’t have formaldehyde. All metals shrink, typically 5-7%, except antimony which expands. Therefore, make models for metal rings ¼ size larger. On average, make other models about 10% larger. Edges are never clean on a casting. Consider rounding edges on outside and thin, carve out or fillet the inside.
