In the past, stainless steel screens were mostly made by hand. Craftsmen created screens through manual cutting, bending, welding, and other processes with their exquisite skills. During manual cutting, craftsmen needed to control the cutting lines relying on experience and skills to ensure the accuracy of patterns; in the bending process, they shaped the models by repeatedly adjusting the angles; and during welding, they ensured the structural firmness with proficient techniques. This manual production method gave the screens unique personalities and warmth, and each piece of work contained the efforts and creativity of the craftsmen.

However, manual production also has obvious limitations. The production efficiency is low, making it difficult to meet the needs of mass production; the precision is greatly affected by the individual level of the craftsmen, making it difficult to ensure the consistency of products; and the realization of complex patterns and shapes is highly challenging, limiting the creative expression of designs. With the growth of market demand and the improvement of design requirements, the technological innovation of stainless steel screens has become extremely urgent.

The application of laser cutting technology is a major breakthrough in the process of stainless steel screens. It uses high - energy laser beams to instantly melt or vaporize stainless steel materials, achieving high - precision cutting. The cutting accuracy can reach 0.1mm, which can perfectly present fine and complex patterns, such as calligraphy fonts and detailed textures. Compared with traditional manual cutting, laser cutting is fast and efficient, and the cutting edges are smooth and neat, requiring little subsequent processing, which greatly shortens the production cycle.CNC bending technology makes the production of three - dimensional shapes of screens more precise and efficient. Through computer program control of the angle, force, and position of the bending machine, precise bending of complex shapes can be achieved. Whether it is a regular geometric three - dimensional shape or a smooth curved shape, it can be easily completed, and it ensures that the size and shape of each product are highly consistent, improving product quality and production stability.

The welding process has also been innovated. The application of automatic welding equipment and robotic welding technology has improved welding quality and efficiency. Automatic welding equipment can precisely control welding parameters to ensure uniform and firm welds; robotic welding can operate in complex structures and narrow spaces, completing welding tasks that are difficult for manual operations, while reducing errors and safety hazards caused by manual operations.

The application of digital design software has opened a new door for the creative design of stainless steel screens. Designers use software such as CAD and 3D modeling to quickly and accurately draw screen design drawings, conduct 3D modeling, and simulate effects. Through the software, parameters such as patterns, sizes, and materials can be adjusted at will, and the design effects can be intuitively seen, which is convenient for communication and modification with customers, greatly improving design efficiency and customer satisfaction.

In the production process, digital technology realizes a seamless connection from design to production. Design files can be directly imported into CNC processing equipment, and the equipment automatically completes processes such as cutting, bending, and welding according to the instructions, reducing human intervention and ensuring the accurate realization of design intentions. At the same time, digital production supports personalized customization. Customers can customize the patterns, sizes, colors, etc. of the screens according to their own needs to meet the diverse market demands. Through the database management system, the production process can also be monitored and managed in real - time, optimizing the production process and improving production efficiency.
