A vase with twodifferent overlapping patterns created using fine milling technology.

两种不同的重叠图案的花瓶，使用精细的加工技术。

Firstly, grooves of 5mm deep, 1.8mm width were carved inconstant intervals on the vase’s exterior, resulting in two different levels on the surface. The first pattern was then carved 2mm deep from the external surface, while the second pattern was carved 6mm deep from the deeper immersed surface.

首先，在花瓶的外部连续刻上5毫米深、1.8毫米宽的凹槽，造成表面有两个不同的层次。第一个花纹在离外表面2mm处雕刻，第二个花纹在离外表面6mm处雕刻。

This calculated process results in the creation of a four-layer surface with different depths, allowing the patterns to appear visually according to the angle in which the vase is viewed. The dimensions and proportions of this process were carefully examined and tested due to the effects of deviations; if the initial grooves are too deep, the dark casted shadows will visually block the pattern, conversely if it is too shallow, the two patterns will blend together without a distinct separation.

这个经过计算的过程产生了一个具有不同深度的四层表面，允许图案根据花瓶被观察的角度在视觉上出现。由于偏差的影响，该工艺的尺寸和比例经过了仔细的检查和测试;如果最初的凹槽太深，深色的阴影会在视觉上阻碍图案，反之，如果太浅，两个图案会融合在一起而没有明显的分离。

By using multi axis machinery, some grooves were carved to1.8mm in width, and only 1mm thickness at the edge. These narrow dimensions cause complications, as the grooves can easily break due to clogging of scraping material. Furthermore, if the cutting speed is too high, the temperature of the cutter rises, and can cause metal distortions. Accordingly,the production’s duration and dimensions were carefully adjusted, and milling was done gradually in 0.5 mm deep layers.

采用多轴机械，部分凹槽宽度可达1.8mm，边缘厚度仅为1mm。这些狭窄的尺寸会引起并发症，因为凹槽很容易由于刮料堵塞而破裂。此外，如果切割速度过高，刀具温度上升，并可能导致金属变形。因此，生产的时间和尺寸仔细调整，铣削逐步在0.5毫米深的层。

This delicate process originated from a 100kg block of aluminum, that after 7 months, resulted in a 15kg vase.

这个精致的制作过程是从一块100公斤重的铝块开始的，经过7个月的时间，制作成了一个15公斤重的花瓶。
