Flow Setonovelty manufacturing process

Set Novelty is a broad production process in about eight divisions.

1. prototype

We make a prototype for producing gypsum molds. The design of the product design (plane) is created in a three -dimensional manner to complete the prototype. The complex shape is made to decompose for each part, make gypsum, and to shrink after firing.

2. Mechanism

There are three types of gypsum types: "main type (sample type)" (for prototype), "case type" (for storage), and "used type" (for product).
First, we make a "main type (sample type)" based on the prototype. Next, based on this "main type (sample type)", we will create a "case type" for creating a used type. Then, based on this type of use, we will create a "use type" for producing products.
By passing through this series of gypsum -type production, it is possible to mass -produce products.

3. Cast -containing molding

Pour mud -shaped clay (mud -like) into gypsum type (used type) and mold it. Using gypsum -type water absorption, leave the time until the product is needed for the product, then discard the mud (mud). After a while after the mud, the water inside is absorbed by the gypsum type, shrinks slightly and becomes stiff, so you can take it out smoothly from the type.
In order to create a uniform product, the skills by experience, such as the speed, time, etc. of the soil, depending on the shape, season, weather, etc. of the product.

The clay (burr) protruding from the base from the mold is shaved, and the parts are combined. After that, bake the dried base. The clay (burr) protruding from the base from the mold is shaved, and the parts are combined. After that, bake the dried base.

5. With a drainage

Painting on the unglazed base (unglazed base) using a pigment that can withstand firing at high temperatures. The unglazed fabric is easy to absorb moisture and cannot wipe it off, so work quickly and carefully.

6. Glaze

Utilizing the water absorption of the base, the base is passed through the glaze (glaze). Glazing makes it difficult to get dirt, giving you glossy, waterproof and strength.

7. Grilled

Heats and fires a glaze or unrighted base.

8. With a picture

Color on the base after burying with upper paint. Spray the pigment using a spray injection device in the shaded and wide area. We may use transfer paper or use lacquer processing. You can add a variety of colors than under painting and express detailed drawing.
After coloring, when fired at low temperature again, it will develop and the product will be completed.

9. Inspection / shipment
