Computational Hydrographic Printing for accurately painting complex 3D objects

Researchers have come up with a new way of accurately painting 3D printed objects While the 3D printing technology has developed in leaps and bounds over the past few years, painting printed objects has been held back by problems of how to colour complex patterns both accurately and efficiently. Hydrographic printing is a well-known technique in industry for transferring color inks on a thin film to the surface of a manufactured 3D object. It enables high-quality coloring of object surfaces and works wi
