Thursday 15. May 2008 - IP is the ideal technology of 3D printing material that embedded perspective image data not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction unlike the lenticular technology. For this reason, supposing it is on the table, no matter where you may see from, you definitely can realize the 3D effect.
(A) INTEGRAL PHOTOGRAPHY (IP)
IP is the ideal technology of 3D printing material that embedded perspective image data not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction unlike the lenticular technology. For this reason, supposing it is on the table, no matter where you may see from, you definitely can realize the 3D effect.
The principle originates in research of Dr. Gabriel Lippmann who won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1908. However, it require advanced imaging-process, especially very precise position between each lenses and printing dots to produce the 3D effects. Therefore IP has not been adopted for a long time in the printing industry.
We are continuing development for the purpose of succeeding this IP technology for the past twenty years. DRUPA 2008 is the memorable year that celebrates a centennial from his Nobel Prize award. Then, we want to contribute to expansion of the 3D printing market while we introduce the present sample.

We have been continued our effort in research and development that manufactures a dot lens array by printing method for the past twenty years.
At present, we manufacture the product called HALS (Honeycomb lens array sheet), and are using it for 3D printing material by application of a frequent pattern image. This HALS technology has been well accepted and adopted various business uses in Japan. However, it is impossible to make 3D expression of the natural drawing with this technology.
