The project
We manufactured a large-format rubber stamp for printing with roller-applied ink. The piece exceeded the machine’s working dimensions, so we incorporated a conveyor belt into the engraving process.
The stamp’s size presented a specific manufacturing requirement: working across a surface larger than the machine’s working area. The conveyor belt allowed the material to advance for continuous engraving along the piece using a CO₂ galvanometer laser.
To create the relief, we recessed the rubber in multiple passes, working from different angles and directions. This continued until we reached the depth needed for printing with ink and a roller. The recessing therefore serves a functional purpose within the stamp, rather than simply adding a graphic treatment to its surface.
The piece is arranged as a grid of square cells containing raised geometric and curved forms. This modular layout brings the different motifs together in a single large-format printing matrix. Archicercle’s contribution focused on manufacturing: continuous engraving and recessing the rubber to produce the stamp.
