Photo-Engraving Formliners
Photo-engraving formliners offer yet another option for designers seeking to transfer images directly to concrete.
The Photo-Engraving Process is a computer-based method for transferring image data onto sheet materials by means of milling technology. First, an image template is scanned and converted into 256 grey scales. In order to transfer the image onto the sheet material, a machining file is generated from the identified grey values, and this file includes milling commands for a CNC milling machine.
The milled module is used as master for casting the elastic Reckli Photo-Engraving formliners. The flexibility, precision, and reusability of the formliners allow for quality image transfers with an efficient use of materials. [via Reckli; suggested by Karen Marler, Vancouver, BC.]
