Xingyan stone carving: when the Millennium carving technology meets the digital age

At the moment of fierce collision between traditional crafts and modern science and technology, Xingyan stone carving has embarked on a unique path of integration and development, making the carving technology inherited for thousands of years glow with new vitality in the digital era.

Xingyan stone carving, as a leading enterprise in the industry, has always adhered to the persistence and love of stone carving art for many years. From the ancient stone axe carving to today's intelligent numerical control, Xingyan stone carving actively embraces change, introduces cutting-edge technology into traditional processes, and realizes a magnificent turn from manual carving to digital manufacturing.

Recently, Xingyan stone carving successfully completed a large-scale urban sculpture, which is a model of the integration of tradition and modernity. In this project, the technical team of Xingyan stone carving first used 3D scanning technology to collect all-round data from the designer's model and accurately capture every detail and line. Then, through professional design software, the collected data are optimized and adjusted to ensure that the proportion, shape and artistic effect of the sculpture reach the best state. In the engraving link, the CNC engraving equipment showed its talents. According to the computer instructions, these devices cut and carve the stone with millimeter accuracy, which can perfectly present the complex facial expressions of characters and delicate texture decoration.

"Traditional hand carving certainly has irreplaceable artistic charm, but in the face of large and complex projects, the introduction of digital technology has greatly improved the production efficiency and accuracy." the technical director of Xingyan stone carving said in an interview, "however, we always believe that digital technology is only a tool, and the temperature and soul of hand carving are the core of stone carving art." therefore, after the completion of NC carving, experienced artisans will carry out manual polishing and detail processing, giving the work unique texture and vitality.

In addition to 3D scanning and CNC engraving, Xingyan stone carving also actively explores the application of other digital technologies in the stone carving industry. For example, through virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology, customers can intuitively feel the effect of sculpture in the actual environment before the implementation of the project, and put forward modification suggestions, avoiding errors and waste caused by poor communication in the traditional mode.

The innovative practice of Xingyan stone carving not only improves its competitiveness, but also provides new ideas for the development of the whole stone carving industry. "We hope to attract more young people to pay attention to and join the stone carving industry through technological innovation, so that this ancient art can continue to inherit and develop in the new era," said the person in charge of Xingyan stone carving.

When the Millennium carving art met the digital age, Xingyan stone carving proved with practical actions that tradition and modernity are not antagonistic, but can be integrated and promoted each other. In the future, Xingyan stone carving will continue to explore and move forward on the road of innovation, and write a more wonderful chapter for the development of stone carving art.
