The Appearance Reproduction and Measurement of 3D Full Colour Printed Objects

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to invite you to submit a manuscript on the “Appearance Reproduction and Measurement of 3D Full Colour Printed Objects” for a Special Issue of Materials. Submissions may focus on novel scientific or technological aspects of 3D full colour printing processes or part attributes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, appearance measurement for 3D colour objects; novel image technology for 3D object image capture, new applications of 3D full colour printing processes; colour appearance difference evaluation and prediction for 3D objects; 3D colour reproduction framework; appearance assessment for 3D objects under various viewing conditions; chromatic adaptation transform for 3D colour objects; gloss measurement and evaluation for 3D colour objects; and applications of appearance reproductions. The scope of this Special Issue includes all 3D full colour printing process technologies. The categories of paper types that will be considered include technical papers, short communications, perspectives, and reviews. The length of reviews will depend on topics, but will be decided by prior agreement with the editors.

The contents must be original unpublished work that has not been submitted for publication elsewhere.
