While fabrication is usually associated with the functional, it can also be quite aesthetically pleasing. To create decorative metalwork, a fabricator can rely on a variety of equipment. One tool for achieving this goal a CNC plasma cutting table. It can deliver decorative work that is also functional.
Commercial, Residential and Artistic Metalwork
Decorative metalwork falls into two basic categories:
1. Purely decorative
2. Functional and decorative
The former category includes outdoor garden, park or wall art. The latter applies to residential, industrial or commercial signage. In these instances, using a CNC plasma cutting system can help produce both original and computerized art. With the computerized graphic art files available and its sourcing by the CNC operated plasma cutting table, the work becomes easier.
The Right CNC Plasma Cutting Table
In choosing the right plasma cutting table, you need to know the following. This will help you to carry out your artistic endeavors:
* Cut Rating: This refers to the ability of the machine to cut through the material cleanly at approximately 10 inches per minute (IPM).
* Quality: High-quality plasma systems tend to be more expensive, but they offer precise cuts and are consistent in their performance. Other characteristics include longevity and efficiency
* Price: You can purchase CNC plasma systems within all price ranges. Some, however, do not include tables
Your choice of plasma cutter will not only affect the durability of the machine and its accuracy but also its ability to employ different types of tips the machine is capable of using.
The Art of the CNC Plasma Cutting Table
Cutting metal can be purely functional. It can also be artistic in nature. The CNC plasma cutting table combines both functions. It can produce aesthetically pleasing, works of art. They may be functional e.g. signage, or purely decorative e.g. garden ornaments or artwork. In both cases, CNC plasma cutting systems can produce finely honed work quickly, efficiently and effectively.
