This 3D printer doesn’t gloss over the details – MIT News
A new 3D printing system designed by MIT researchers enables realistic variations in glossiness across a 3D printed surface. The advance could aid fine art reproduction…
Shape, color, and gloss.
Those are an objects three most salient visual features. Currently, 3D printers can reproduce shape and color reasonably well. Gloss, however, remains a challenge. Thats because 3D printing hardware isnt designed to deal with the different viscosities of the varnishes that lend surfaces a glossy or matte look.
MIT researcher Michael Foshey and his colleagues may have a solution. Theyve developed a combined hardware and software printing system that uses off-the-shelf varnishes…
