Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A metalworking occupation that manually weaves wires to manufacture metal meshes (such as filters and screens).
Description
Wire mesh hand weavers manually weave metal wires such as stainless steel wire or copper wire to produce products for various applications, including filters, screens, and decorative meshes. They patiently repeat delicate work to maintain the precision of the weave and accurately realize mesh patterns that differ for each product. After completion, they perform visual inspections and dimensional measurements to remove defective products and ensure quality. In recent years, techniques to reproduce patterns designed with CAD through hand weaving, as well as the combination with partial mechanization of processes, are advancing.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to the need for filters in precision equipment and environmental devices. However, as automation technology advances, enhancing the added value of handcrafting techniques will be key.
