Researchers at Disney Research Zurich, Switzerland, reached new heights in the 3D printing concerns, managing to develop a technique that will allow print hair strands very similar to human hair.
A group of researchers working at Disney Research Zurich, Switzerland, and the University of Zaragoza in Spain, managed to create a technique that allows printing hairs in three dimensions with a level of detail that still had not been possible.
Researchers ensure that current technology is still very rough and that, therefore, the hairs are not exactly like the original, so that led to raising the bar of printing three dimensions.
For the hair are printed at all similar to real hair, the technique involves the capture, by the printer, color images of a person’s head. The system maps the surface of the hair and transforms the threads in geometric images. Later information relating to color are applied and then begin to be styled the hair according to hair variations.
The goal of this project is, as you can read in the Disney Research site, create busts and miniatures of characters that seem real.
