IndividuAL Frescata
Hasenkopf's Frescata® offers creative surface design the modern way - we manufacture curved and backlit reception desks as well as extensive wall claddings with ornaments worked into surface or thrillingly arranged room dividers. Frescata is suitable for all materials. With millimeter precision the desired textures are worked into the selected material using the very latest 3-axle and 5-axle CNC machine tools. Depending on the selected material, it is possible to use thermal forming to work Frescata into curved surfaces.
There is a vast number of ways of creating individual effects - for example with thermoforming, combining different materials, milling recesses for inlays or using backlighting to create the desired atmosphere. Just give us a call! We already support you with our expert know-how during the planning. We give you advice, we make patterns and help you to tap the full potential of Frescata.
Step by Step
Creative freedom with frescata
Contouring
It is primarily the lines of the surface view that determine the optical effect. Lines may be straight, wavy or arranged in geometric patterns. Combinations and repetitions provide further interesting contours.
Depth profile
The depth of machining is the essential factor in creating the effect of Frescata structures. Machining in a single layer not only creates an attractive pattern, it can also be used for backlighting. Varying the depth of machining produces interesting reliefs. Extremely fine variations in the depth can simulate the gray-scales of a picture to produce an image as realistic as a photo, even lending depth to the finished view.
Tools
The tool geometry is primarily responsible for shaping the relief. We achieve this by using four different types of cutter: end mill cutters, spherical cutters, disk cutters and gray-scale cutters. These modern machine tools ensure that there are no technical limits to what you can do with Frescata.
Materials
Whether Corian, acrylic, wood-based materials or gypsum fiberboard - we can get the best out of our premium materials. Different materials can also be used in combination to create modern effects that have never been seen before.
Finishing
Forming, painting, combining more than one material, inlaying, backlighting - the various finishing techniques coupled with your own creative ideas make the finished Frescata product even more distinctive.
CONTOURING
LINES
line thickness: from 3 mm
lines can be broken
they can cross another and be combined as desired
different thicknesses can be combined
WAVY LINES
line thickness: from 3 mm
wavy lines can also be broken
they may follow different contours
they can also cross another and be combined as desired
wavy lines of different thicknesses can also be combined
ORNAMENTS
thickness of ornament lines: from 3 mm
We will be glad to check whether your desired contours / ornaments can be implemented in the selected material. Please contact us.
GEOMETRIC SHAPES
A variety of basic geometric forms are possible
circles
ellipses
polygons
rectangles
squares
trapezoids
triangles
Other shapes to your specifications available on request.
basic shapes can be varied and combined as desired
LETTERING
line thickness: from 3 mm
inlays (run in or embedded)
We will be glad to check whether the desired lettering (e.g. True Type) can be implemented in the selected material.
FREE-FORM
A wide variety of special forms, structures and pictures are possible. Please contact us. We will be glad to check whether your ideas can be implemented. There is almost no limit to your freedom of design.
DEPTH PROFILE
FLAT
machined to a constant depth
machining to different depths is possible
RELIEF
varying depths are possible
GRAY-SCALE MACHINING
Precisely varying the depth of machining enables images to be given a realistic photographic appearance.
Photos and images in the usual data formats (jpg, tiff, etc.) are quite sufficient for our processing facilities.
We will be glad to check whether your photos and images can be reproduced. Please contact us.
Tools
END MILL CUTTER
cylindrical cutter
can be profiled
suitable for geometrical patterns on the surface and in relief
SPHERICAL CUTTER
spherical cutter
particularly suitable for wavy shapes
suitable for geometrical patterns on the surface and in relief
DISK CUTTER
disk cutter
with profile is possible
particularly suitable for linear geometrical patterns on the surface
GRAY-SCALE CUTTER
cylindrical cutter
Facilitates very close machining. This can be used to machine extremely fine structures, right down to depicting the gray-scales of a realistic photograph.
