The difference between machine carving and hand carving

The difference between machine carving and hand carving is as follows:

First, the carving marks left by hand carving and machine carving are different. When carving by hand, the sculptor needs to use different tools, including the intensity of carving, so the carving marks left are different in depth, thickness and width, and the formed manual trunking is also varied.

Machine carving, on the other hand, is based on the template set by the computer. Through the rotation of the mechanical wheel, patterns are carved on the jade, and the traces left are flat and consistent.

Second: the appearance of the works is also different. Simply put, hand carving is more flexible and has a better three-dimensional effect. Hand-carved edges are generally a little concave. It can be seen that the sculptor works from top to bottom and left and right, and the lines are flexible, but the machine carving is basically flat, and there is no three-dimensional sense from the side, and the corners are stiff.

Therefore, to a certain extent, it will also be limited by the theme, such as traditional brands, Buddha statues, beans and mountains and rivers, which are the most used in machine carving.

Third: the difference between hierarchical design and color application. This is also the best way to help you distinguish. The hierarchical design of machine carving is generally simple and regular, while manual carving can be designed and created according to the characteristics of different raw materials, without restrictions.

Moreover, the use of colors, such as Qin and Yanyuan agate, is called "stunning" in the industry and is exclusive to hand carving. As small as a leaf, a character's lips and unique colors can be used in place to present a more realistic artistic conception, which is completely beyond the reach of machine carving.
