real life UV mapping.
That is pretty cool! But I wanted to see them print the globe! :(
You mean map the globe?
Sure, although it seems like they are calling it printing, but it really doesn't matter as long as everyone understands what is being refered to.
Map the globe! :D funny
This is quite amazing! To be fair I've never seen hydrographic printing before so I was already amazed before I saw the UV mapping/inverse unwrapping awesomeness.
Wow , finally possible to have colored 3d printing. :)
They had colored 3d printing for a while, it is just REALLY expensive because they have to constantly swap out/blend colored printing materials
Not really - Full Color printing is actually quite cheap:
