Gloss Printing (IMAGE)
Caption
Typical 3D printers can't handle the high-viscosity varnishes necessary to vary the reflectivity of a surface. Researcher Michael Foshey (CSAIL)?and colleagues have?developed a new 3D printer to solve this problem. In this image, the left side shows traditional 3D printing, which doesn't have varying?reflectivity. The right side shows the new improvements, where one can choose which surfaces are glossy?and which are matte.
