Sun frame or sun mirror: features, manufacturing, 3D models for CNC machines.

The sun frame is most often used to decorate mirrors, less often - for paintings. So attractive and versatile, it's no wonder that this frame has managed to find a strong place in a wide variety of interiors.

The sun mirror is suitable for classics, neoclassical, modern style trends, baroque, Provence. It comes in different shapes and designs. Therefore, you can find a suitable option for any style direction.

Such a mirror would be appropriate in the living room, bedroom, or hallway. Looks great in public spaces. In restaurants, in the hotel lobby. Attracts attention and decorates. It brings a fresh note to the interior and allows you to make a familiar decorative detail more noticeable and brighter.

In this article we will talk about the history of origin and how such frames can be made on a CNC machine. We will also show our 3D models of this decorative element, made in Stl format.

Origin story:

It is believed that the mirror frame in the form of sun rays diverging around the perimeter of the circle appeared in the time of Louis the 14th. This king was very fond of art and architecture, and was passionate about various decorative innovations. And it was under him that the era of Baroque began - the royal style, magnificent and bright, deliberately brilliant and pretentious.

There is an interesting legend. They say that Louis the 14th at numerous royal balls and masquerades chose the role of the sun, which shone and bestowed attention on everyone. That is why the “sun” element has become so popular. And it was then that several sun-shaped mirrors first appeared in the royal palace.

Manufacturing:

If you have a CNC machine, then you can make a sun mirror quickly and efficiently.

All you need is material, cutters and a 3D model of the future product. We'll talk about the models below. For now, let's talk about the material.

The sun mirror can be made of solid wood (this is a classic option, because in the time of Louis the 14th, all frames were carved from oak, beech, and other wood species). Other options: MDF, metal, plastic.

Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages:

• Wood is durable, environmentally friendly, universal.
• Plastic is cheap and light. But not very reliable. The rays of such a mirror can easily break off.
• Metal is no less strong and durable than wood. But too bulky and heavy. It is better to make a frame from wood and cover it with metallic paint.
• MDF is a universal, inexpensive, but environmentally friendly material, moderately durable, but not as durable as solid wood.
• The finished product can be coated with gold, silver, white or black paint, or decorated using patination (artificial aging) or tinting.

The rays can be straight or curving, with or without additional decoration.

A CNC machine can produce a product of any complexity.

He will do his job quickly and efficiently. With pinpoint accuracy, it will copy a given 3D model on the material. In a short time we will produce any number of sun-shaped frames.

Sun frame model for CNC machine:

You can buy the sun mirror model on our website.

Frames suitable for different interior styles are presented. Most of them are located in the section 3D models of round frames

For a modern style, you should choose more laconic options.

For Baroque - you can not be afraid of excesses and abundant decor and take the most luxurious frame.

For classics - the middle option. For example, a frame where the rays diverge in the form of symmetrical leaves. Resembling more a flower than the sun. Classics love floral patterns, laconic, but strict, orderly, symmetrical. This frame is also suitable for modern classics.

There are interesting frame options where the rays seem to twist, creating a special effect.

There are models where the sun mirror is supposedly decorated with some ancient ornaments.

There are a lot of options. See our catalog and choose the appropriate model for your goals and objectives.

If among the presented 3D models there is not exactly the option you need, then there are two options for solving the problem:

• Order a unique 3D model created according to your photos, sketches, descriptions. Our model artists will draw any model in Stl format, adapted for creating control programs for CNC machines
• Or modify any of the options presented on the site, make any changes, change the diameter of the circle, the length of the rays or the decor on them. Contact us. We are open to any suggestions.

Working with us is convenient and profitable.

Our models have an optimal format for CNC machines (by the way, if you work with a 3D printer, then any model can be adapted to the requirements of your device). The excellent quality of the models will allow you to produce a high-quality and attractive product, without defects. A favorable price will help you quickly recoup your purchase and get a good income from the manufacture and sale of sun-shaped mirrors. And convenient cooperation with us will make your work enjoyable.
