Cast copper relief: The thickness is generally around 5mm. This process is suitable for sculptures that require greater thickness and weight, and is often used for outdoor decoration and monumental sculptures.
Forged copper relief: The thickness is between 0.8-1.5mm, which is suitable for making lighter reliefs, and is often used for interior decoration and sculptures with rich details.
