SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF PRODUCING IMAGES IN BAS RELIEF VIA A PRINTER

摘要

A method of making a bas relief from a two-dimensional image includes converting a two-dimensional image to a grey-scale image that comprises a plurality of shades of grey. Each shade of grey corresponds to a respective elevation of a three dimensional representation of the two-dimensional image. Ink is deposited on a substrate via a printer to form a three-dimensional topography that corresponds to the three-dimensional representation of the two-dimensional image. The two-dimensional image is then printed, in accurate registration, onto the three-dimensional pattern to produce the bas relief. A protective coating and/or film may be applied to the three-dimensional pattern and image printed thereon.
