Photo-Engraving Formliners
Photo-engraving formliners offer yet another option for designers seeking to transfer images directly to concrete.
The Photo-Engraving Process is a computer-based method for transferring image data onto sheet materials by means of milling technology. First, an image template is scanned and converted into 256 grey scales. In order to transfer the image onto the sheet material, a machining file is generated from the identified grey values, and this file includes milling commands for a CNC milling machine.
The milled module is used as master for casting the elastic Reckli Photo-Engraving formliners. The flexibility, precision, and reusability of the formliners allow for quality image transfers with an efficient use of materials. [via Reckli; suggested by Karen Marler, Vancouver, BC.]
Not unlike buying new security cameras you'll want to put some time into reading up on symbol scanners before you buy them. Keep in mind that if you will be using barcodes to label products you'll need more than a barcode printer, like barcode scanners as well.

Dear Sauro, to get a reply to your technical question, please send an e-mail to Mr. Kasten Roszak of Reckli in Germany. He is the technical adviser for this product. Regards, Irène.
Any one in the Toronto area at the end of November (the 29 & 30 and dec. 01) can see this revolutionary new technique at the Home Builder Show in the Concrete section. We will make a special presentation on Thursday at 3:pm in the demo area; come early, to make sure you find the right demo area, and that you have a good viewing spot! Go on line to get a free pass.
