When the word "digital" is mentioned, people in the industry must not forget the blowout era of "digital inkjet technology" around 2012-2013.
From the time when this technology sprouted in China in 2009 to the completion of comprehensive replacement coverage of traditional roller printing and screen printing technology in 2015, the "digital" revolution set off by ceramic digital inkjet printing technology in China's construction ceramics field has consumed a lot of money. It lasted about 6 years. From the introduction of only 2 pieces of equipment, to the completion of localization, to the online production and use of about 4,500 pieces of equipment across the industry, China's speed once shocked the world's construction ceramics industry.
Simple, convenient, fast and controllable digital technology has created the myth of Chinese architectural ceramics. A digital inkjet technology quickly introduced traditional manufacturing into the digital altar. Since then, the industry’s pursuit of “digitalization” has never stopped.
With the advent of the slate era, the larger size, stronger decorative effect, thinner development direction and more refined subsequent processing performance requirements of ceramic slate as a decorative panel material have undoubtedly given rise to The production technology of the industry has put forward new requirements. In particular, the subsequent sales market of rock slabs is largely aimed at the market share of natural stone, which also puts forward new high requirements for the imitation stone texture of rock slabs.
Shuncheng Group's Shunhui ceramic tile and slate digital mold technology was born in response. The digitalization technology of molds has undoubtedly become the "black technology" that has promoted the "digitization" of the industry to new heights after digital inkjet printing technology.

NO.1. Completely replaces the traditional mold making process, and the concave and convex texture is fully digitalized
Shunhui ceramic tile and slate digital mold technology is called "digital mold" technology. The core point of its technology is that it replaces the traditional mold making process. Through special digital inkjet equipment and ink, the ceramic tile blank is The surface of the body is 3D printed, printing out rich layered textures and concave and convex textures. That is, the traditional molding process is replaced by digital printing.
The traditional mold making process is: first design the texture, then carve the tempered mold, and then passThe physical pressing process presses the texture on this mold onto the ceramic tile body to create a concave and convex texture effect. From design to final realization of this design on the ceramic tile surface, it is necessary to use the medium of tempered mold to achieve it. The disadvantages are obvious: first, it takes a lot of time and cost to make molds; second, it is pressed through molds and with the help of media, which easily causes a certain degree of effect distortion. During the pressing process, the edge parts of the layered texture It will be passivated and distorted, especially the concave and convex edge details. Thirdly, every time you design a texture of a color, you have to repeat the molding process. When encountering complex collage or stacking of multiple color textures, not only the process is complicated, , it is more difficult to present fine effects.
Digital mold technology directly uses 3D printing technology to spray print and stack on the surface of the ceramic tile body to complete this texture production process. First of all, digital technology has greatly increased the convenience of production and greatly shortened the product development cycle. It not only simplifies the process and speeds up the efficiency of R&D and production conversion, but also makes the display of texture unevenness more controllable. Secondly, because digital mold technology uses a completely different process from steel mold pressing, the texture effect of the product will be more refined, and fine textures as small as 0.1mm can be accurately presented without distortion or passivation. Third, due to full digitalization, whether it is a "one stone with one face" texture effect or a "one stone with multiple faces" fully digital customized texture effect, it can be easily completed, providing more possibilities for R&D, design and creation.

NO.2. The world’s advanced series connection system enables precise matching of texture, pattern and color
Digital molds ultimately achieve perfect results due to their exquisite combination of multiple world-leading technology systems. Multiple advanced digital inkjet equipment are connected in series, matched with the latest nozzles and Taolixi functional inks, supplemented by a self-developed precise series connection system, and finally superimposed to achieve a perfect presentation effect, infinitely enriching the pattern texture, color and special effects overlay printing process. In terms of core technology, it not only breaks through the shortcomings of traditional molds that cannot be accurately aligned, but also ensures that the texture, pattern, and color of the ceramic tiles are accurately and perfectly matched.
Shunhui ceramic tile and rock slab digital mold technology can be compatible and superimposed with any other subsequent colors, patterns and various functional ink effect technologies and processes. Used superimposed, ceramic products can be improved in design, color, specifications, light perception, and texture.There are no boundaries in terms of combination, reproducing the texture of various natural building materials to achieve more rich display effects.

NO.3. Digital mold technology is different from "sink carving" and "glue function" ink
It should be noted that Shunhui ceramic tile and rock slab digital mold technology is a brand new technology that is different from various functional digital inkjet technologies that have appeared on the market before.
First of all, the concave and convex texture produced by digital mold technology is the physical concave and convex performance of the product itself, rather than a superficial decorative process. It 3D prints the concave and convex base on the ceramic tile body before patterns, colors and other additional decorations, and the concavities and convexities are all printed in one go. The sunken engraving ink and dry glue particles on the market are applied on the superficial decorative layer of the ceramic tile, and the concave and convex are completed in different technical steps. Among them, the sunken ink achieves the appearance of concave ravines on the surface through corrosion, and the dry glue particles achieve the convex texture effect by stacking dry particles.
Secondly, based on the above situation, there are fundamental differences in the problem-solving ideas and methods between the sinking ink, glue dry granules and other processes on the market and the digital mold technology, thus resulting in large differences in effects. As the saying goes, "Beauty is in the bones, not the skin" and "It is difficult to paint the skin to paint the skin of a tiger", which means that if you want to truly be beautiful from the "bones" and look like "from the bones", you still have to work hard from the "bones".
Digital mold technology directly lays out a concave and convex layered base on the green body, just like "painting (making) bones" for the texture of ceramic tiles first, and then adding other patterns, colors and various superimposed decorative effects. process. To compare it to the current technology of imitating natural textures in nature, the hierarchical concave-convex layout of the texture must start from the base - the "bone phase", and the effect must be different from the surface processing and presentation at a later stage.

NO.4. Large-scale, thin rock slab production, necessary black technology to reduce costs and increase efficiency
As we all know, the birth of rock slabs directly placed more stringent requirements on the ceramic production process. Under these stringent requirements, digital mold technology shows its great black technology advantages.
First, large and thin rock slabs are the trend. Opening molds on such a thin and large product body is more difficult than traditional small bricks. The subsequent fine processing performance requirements of rock slabs are also higher than those of traditional ceramic tiles. If you are not careful, the mold pressing for the concave and convex texture may have caused uneven density of the green body, causing subsequent stress problems and ultimately affecting the finished product. quality. Digital molds do not, because 3D printing technology is lightly spray-printed, there is no pressing process, and it will not cause a series of effects on the density and stress of the body.
Secondly, as a decorative plate, the color, appearance and usage scenarios of slate should not be underestimated. Especially in the context of the pan-home furnishing era, the scope of use of ceramic products is still expanding, including countertops, furniture, floors, walls, etc. The same pattern, color, and texture will have different uses, which requires different specifications and thicknesses to match different usage scenarios. Shunhui ceramic tile and rock slab digital mold technology can perfectly match this production method. No matter the specifications of 6mm, 12mm, or 20mm products, the same texture can be obtained quickly and accurately, which is beyond the reach of traditional mold pressing technology.
Thirdly, in the fiercely competitive slate market, it can easily switch production, has richer designs and colors, and more realistic simulated textures, which of course has greater competitive advantages.
NO.5. The world’s cutting-edge technology, the first in China to achieve mass production
It is understood that Shunhui ceramic tile and rock slab mold technology was jointly developed by Shuncheng Group and Tao Lixi, a world-renowned ink technology company. At present, this technology is only mastered by a few companies in the world. Shuncheng Group is the first company in China to achieve mass production.
In order to ensure the advancement of this revolutionary technology and avoid counterfeit products that will affect the final effect, Shuncheng Group and Tao Lixi jointly promote its industrialization process in the form of strategic cooperation and patent sharing.
December 18th is the first market release of this revolutionary technology. At the same time, Tao Lixi and Shuncheng Group are already preparing version 2.0 of the digital mold. This version will be used for the production of 3mm rock plate thickness, which will give rock slabs and furniture sectorInject strong competitiveness. The two companies will jointly become leaders in this new technology and products.

Technological innovation always requires products to carry it and market recognition.
The development of "digital" technology in the construction and ceramics industry has been fully verified a few years ago due to the rapid popularity and popularity of "digital inkjet printing technology".
Nowadays, Shuncheng Group’s Shunhui ceramic tile and slate digital mold technology has digitized the manufacturing of concave and convex simulated texture on the surface of ceramic tiles. It will undoubtedly be another digital black technology after digital inkjet printing technology. Birth. Its emergence is a work that leads the industry to reach the peak of "digitization". We have reason to wait and see its future.
