If you`ve never heard of cubic printing before, we are sure, this video will totally blow you away! Cubic printing also commonly known as water transfer printing or hydrographics is one amazing process that transfers pattern or image to a 3D surface! The cubic printing process is usually used to ornament things that range from entire cars to small items such as various automotive trim or bike helmets! Films can be implemented to many types of materials including fiberglass, wood, metal and ceramics! This way of painting offers a broad variety of colors! As you`ll see, that`s exactly the case in the video below!
The result is staggering indeed! The designer is slowly putting the item in the dipping tank. The film coating is water soluble which dissolves after implementing an activator solution! Once the dipping process is begun, the water`s surface tension will allow the image to curve around any type of shape! Any residue that remains is being thoroughly rinsed off! The ink adhered can never be washed off! After all of this is done, the ink is allowed to dry! You can see the cubic printing sorcery in entirety with the footage below! The result is a whole intake painted with the American flag in mere 5 seconds!
