About Project

For those who want to customize cartoon figures, like Animal Crossing amiibos, we strongly recommend Colorjet printing technology, which can present vibrant colors and is suitable for figurines that have big eyes and noses but no details like feathers and fur. To avoid the tail and the bunch of hair breaking during transportation, we split them and add an insert structure.

Solution

• Step 1: To produce full-color prints, a CAD model that contains the color information need to be built. The client has built the 3D model of this dog warrior, we just need to check the printability, split the dangerous parts and add insert structure.
• Step 2: A rolling batch leaves a uniform layer of sandstone-like powder. From there two printing heads pass over the batch, coloring and adhering to the object at the same time. The batch of powder then makes another pass, until the object is completed.
• Step 3: After printing, the parts are then coated with cyanoacrylate (super glue) or a different infiltrant to improve part strength and enhance the vibrancy of the colors. A secondary epoxy layer can then also be added to further improve strength and color appearance.
