HumanEyes's function of three-dimensional printing production software (below)

National Graphics (Brookfield, WI) was founded in 1977 as a prepress company. In the early nineties of the 19th century, the company started raster printing after a technician successfully produced a rough motion raster picture of a child swinging. Although the visual effect of this picture did not achieve excellent results, the company's manager Don Krause said that it is enough to attract them to participate in this area and develop it.

According to Krause, 15 years ago people saw lenticular printing as a trick by Cracker Jack and could not use traditional presses for high-quality, mass-production printing.

In 1995, National Graphics invented 75 lenticular/inch grating materials. It is said that this Material is the first grating material that can be applied to commercial lithographic offset printing. Krause tells us that National Graphics (Brookfield, WI) has acquired an 18 mm (0.019 in) lenticular grating plate based on the patented Extreme Vision patented technology. The quality of the lenticular printing product has taken a big step and it has risen further. High level. The company has also developed a more elaborate 0.007-inch, 200-lpi cylinder lens, known as Crystal.

Crystal's fine form factor is suitable for the printing of pressure-sensitive labels. It can also be used for the printing of plastic or glass bottles without being crushed or crushed.

In addition to printing labels, packaging, postcards, and covers for books and magazines, the company's technology can print toys and mold decorations. Krause said: “Although printers all over the world are using National Graphics Extreme Vision, they all have to meet a single standard. We’re going to need to determine who we’re going to be working with to use our patented manufacturing process. Does the company have the right environment and the right printing equipment?"

The cost of printing materials is the biggest stumbling block to the widespread use of lens printing. National Graphics is using 0.003 inches of material because of the obvious price advantage of thinner lenticular materials compared to thicker materials. The company is also working on a new technology, which is to produce a lenticular lens online during the printing process. (The current production method of a lenticular lens is to use a custom-made sculpted roller for extrusion molding.) Krause: "We will be able to The cylinders are directly produced during the printing process (any position on the grating board). "At present, the company is applying for a patent for this "Spot Lenticular" production process and hopes to be approved next year.

Large format raster prints

Big3D.com (Fresno, CA) used a 62-inch KBA press to make 3D large-format posters for Spy Kids, a seven-color UV printer capable of processing a variety of grating materials.

Flipsigns.com, a trade union organization and also a raster software developer, Mr. Tom Saville, founder and president of the company won the Ph3D Award, which is awarded to those who have achieved excellent results in the field of 3-D and animation printing. enterprise. In Flipsigns' view, Big3D.com’s product quality is so outstanding that every Spy Kids poster looks like a movie star is standing inside.
