Computational Hydrographic Printing

I was watching this video and found it interesting:


Do you guys think this will be used for toy animal replicas in the future. The colors in the example don't hold up to handprinted models, but as technology advances perhaps this could be an option for highly detailed patterns on mass produced figures?

This is very interesting indeed

I have never seen it before, - and, yes ! I can imagine that animal models could be made on a large scale, where dozens were dipped in a big tub in one go

Very interesting. I think that some companies will use it in the future if it results to be cheaper than handpainting.

WOW, COOL!!

Impressive, especially the cat

Very interesting
