Engraving in Le Locle

Artistic engraving

Our professional in-house engravers use different techniques, according to the design of each specific project.

Their know-how is essential for the realisation of a high quality product.


 

The modelling

The modelling of a plaster mould is used to obtain high relief artistic medals. The engraving of small elements is also easier by the use of that technique.

A large-scale plaster mould is realised by the artists according to the design department plan.




 


Reducing machines operate the engraving of a master die of size 1:1.


 

Engraving on the master die or minting die

For simpler models or small series, our engravers directly work on the master die or minting die, at a scale of 1:1.


 

CNC engraving

Our CNC machines are used for the inclusion of texts and easy motifs on the minting dies.

2D designs can generally be completely engraved by CNC.


 

From master die to minting die

When the master die (positive) is completed, it is used to hob the final tool (negative), called minting die, which is used for the minting of the product.
