Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000176
A surface decoration process where printed designs are transferred from a water-soluble film onto a three-dimensional object. The object is dipped into a tank where the film floats on the water's surface, and an activator dissolves the film, leaving the ink adhering to the part. This technique is also known as water transfer printing.
