Vectogram

Vectogram by Heinrich Böll on a building facade
Section of the vectogram (left eye) that was milled vertically. The deeper millings in the area of ​​the darker areas are clearly visible. The horizontal black line is the butt joint of two panels.

A Vectogramm is a means of a special photo engraving formed on a planar surface, relief-like image. The photo-engraving is produced with the help of a computer-controlled milling process ( CNC machine ) on a plate, for example a laminate plate such as formica .

Manufacturing

A photo template is converted to grayscale on the computer . The gray levels are then transferred into a line image on the workpiece using a conical milling cutter . The image is milled line by line into the workpiece. Dark areas are milled deeper and thus wider in the workpiece, lighter ones less deep. The lines can also be produced concentrically. In addition to fiberboard, acrylic glass or concrete are also used as materials .

Vectograms are mainly used in architecture ( facade design ), interior design and trade fair construction .
