Essential Considerations To Make In Brass Embossing Engraving

By Pamela Taylor


Brass is widely considered for embossing and engraving due to its high versatility rate. Embossing is the process of making images on a surface by raising part of the item to create images on the other side. On the other hand, engraving is a process where designs and images are incised on a hard surface. These processes are common in custom budges, stamps and other common brass products. Here are factors to consider in brass embossing engraving processes

Use of laser technology for quality results. The use of the laser is popular in most modern decoration process. It is popular in making small etches in tiny products since it does not remove a lot of debris. Also, there is no physical contact between the machine and the metallic product making it a perfect choice for small products. It produces clear images compared with other processes.

The use of computer numerical control method. It is a traditional etching process which relies on a computer controlled machine. The machines are suitable for making detailed decorations which are impossible to handle using hands. One can even make a two or three dimension figure using this procedure. It is common in decorating fairly large items such as trophies.

Hand etching. The entire process considers the level of experience that a craftsman has to achieve a remarkable outcome. The expert uses a unique pattern on a respective surface to create grooves. It creates deeper grooves compared with other methods and can also produce a two or three-dimensional image as well.

Use of foil to emboss. A foil is used to draw the image to be used in decorating, and then use it to draw the decorations on surface of a brass metal plate. The plates are supposed to be thin slice the drawings are deepened using a special stylus. It does not bring a suitable effect on the surface since it uses the pressure that is exacted by the craftsman.

The use of heat and pressure to emboss. Embossing techniques are quite different from the etching processes. Heat and pressure methods depend on special machine which use heat to emboss an image on a surface of a product. A special die is used in this process to ensure that the decorations are clear as well as a soft foil which contains the image. Common machines which are used include the roll press, clam-shell, and the straight press.

The combination procedure. It combines both foil and pressure method. An etched die is used to stamp the image on the surface then pressed to make an image, and this is accomplished using a combination die. It has an edge which can be used to cut the plate along the perimeter to remove the excess foil from the area which has been decorated.

Choose a reliable specialist. One cannot handle these process unless he or she is an expert and has the respective machines which are required. Otherwise, you need the intervention of a professional who is acquainted with these processes and has a reliable experience delivering them as well. Explain your designs in a clear manner if you want the final product to be similar to your expectations.
