3D printing reliefs for vinyl

A new direction that I have been brooding on for a long time is 3D printing textures and patterns to be scanned in for vinyl and foam printed wallcovering.

Some of the challenges: larger surfaces slow down the software of my printer a lot, the slightest irregularities in my printing bed show, but foremost, when printing textures: how irregular can I make them, and can I reproduce the irregularities? (If you know, you know…) 

As my colleague Hélène Dashorst always says: if it was easy, other people would have already done it long time ago. 🙂
