Make your 3D prints pop with brilliant hydrographics

Finuvo · 2015-08-06T20:06:14.000Z

Hey Boyd! The film is made of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) which is soluble in water. The pattern is printed on the PVA film. When the film is places on water it dissolves leaving only the ink. The pattern is printed on with a specialized inkjet printer.

Thanks StudioK! Here’s another cool dip we did the other night. Made a “Finuvo” special edition version of the Perrier bottle

A pair of checkered sneakers would be rad!

Wow, very cool! I never thought about hydrographics printing on a 3D printed object, but after seeing this I totally want to try it. I will defiantly be following you guys!

Cheers!

This gives an extra dimension to 3D printing, succes with funding, and keep us posted!

Mastermind · 2015-08-07T09:23:53.000Z

Looks awesome. What are the projected prices for the system and materials?

n23d · 2015-08-07T12:06:07.000Z

Great Where Do I get it? - How about a link to materials services or something.

Finuvo · 2015-08-07T14:54:07.000Z

Nothing special, it’s very similar to an standard inkjet printer where the size has been adapted to fit our dipping skins.

Finuvo · 2015-08-07T14:56:52.000Z

Hey n23d, we’ll be launching a Kickstarter campaign this fall, so you can follow us on Facebook and leave your email address on our website to get updates about that. We’ll be updated our website to give more info about dipping skins, and more details about the Finuvo Aqua.

Finuvo · 2015-08-07T15:50:38.000Z

Thanks so much!

Finuvo · 2015-08-07T15:52:27.000Z

You’ll love it when you try it Thanks for your support Autofan!

Finuvo · 2015-08-07T15:53:23.000Z

Oh awesome! Great idea!

Finuvo · 2015-08-07T15:54:47.000Z

We will keep you posted, Johnsaen! We’ll be launching a Kickstarter campaign in the fall - you can sign up on our website to get notified when it’s available

Finuvo · 2015-08-07T15:56:45.000Z

Hi Tony, we’ll be offering special pricing for pre-orders during our upcoming Kickstarter campaign - it will likely be between $700-900 for a unit.

We made two more Marvins lastnight with the Finuvo Aqua: Cherrywood Marvin and Pine Marvin

This is super epic! wow!

Nikki · 2015-08-07T20:47:36.000Z

This is amazing! Marvin looks ready for the playa! Where do we mail our things for dipping?

Mastermind · 2015-08-08T00:16:30.000Z

What are the useable x,y dimensions of the printer/tank?
Will you offer any software to help make print designs or is there something available that makes it easy to get the creative patterns you’ve used?

Can you use pictures, bitmaps, etc…?

What materials will/won’t the mask stick to? I’m assuming it will work for a lot more than 3D prints.

Is there any prep required of the part being coated?

How long is the shelf life for the “ink”? My Form1 resins sometimes go more than their shelf life before I use them all.

Will the mask be water, heat and/or UV resistant? What chemicals will dissolve it?

Thanks again…
