Abstract

This paper documents the development of a low-cost 2.5D printing machine. The machine is being developed specifically to consistently print combined colour and texture on to 2D surfaces. The proposal is not so much to produce a painting machine in emulation of the act of human expression, rather, to produce a digital machine capable of consistently producing physically textured prints. Therefore the research also looks to develop accompanying software and data representation for a cohesive workflow toward future 2.5D printing technology and its creative applications.
