This study explores the functional role of 3D printers in original printmaking, a graphic production technique. Traditional methods like linocut, engraving, and intaglio have limited integration with modern digital manufacturing technologies. This research examines how 3D printers can be effectively combined with these techniques. The main goal is to show how 3D printing can be integrated into the printmaking process and what benefits it brings to design and production. The study focuses on converting digitally designed models into physical printing plates via 3D printing, highlighting how this enables the creation of complex surfaces and detailed forms difficult to achieve traditionally. This offers designers both creative freedom and tech-nical advantages. Additionally, the research discusses how digital design and customization of printing plates and stencils improve flexibility, speed, and cost-efficiency in printmaking. Especially in linocut and engraving, the precision, scalability, and detail of 3D printing introduce new production paradigms. In conclusion, the study shows that 3D printers are not only technical tools but also creative elements transforming graphic production in original printmaking, providing artists and designers new opportuni-ties to exceed traditional boundaries and expand artistic expression.

The growing demand for sustainable food packaging is driven not only by consumer awareness of food safety but also by international strategies such as national development plans and European Union regulations, which emphasize the replacement of conventional plastics with bio-based and functional alternatives. In this context, active antioxidant packag-ing plays a critical role in extending food shelf life, reducing waste, and ensuring safer products. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) was selected as the matrix material due to its good film-forming properties, biodegradabili-ty, biocompatibility, odorlessness, and non-toxicity or low toxicity, while vitamin C (ascorbic acid), a natural antioxidant, was incorporated as the active agent. HEC solution was prepared by dissolving HEC powder in dis-tilled water, and vitamin C was incorporated. The resulting mixtures were homogenized and cast onto glass plates, followed by drying to produce uniform films. The obtained films were systematically characterized in terms of contact angle (wettability), and antioxidant capacity. In addition, their surface performance was evaluated through IGT F1 flexographic test printing trials to assess practical applicability. The results demonstrated that the incorporation of vitamin C enhanced the antioxidant functionality of HEC films, while altering their barrier and surface properties depending on the concentration used. These findings suggest that HEC-based films containing vitamin C have significant potential as active packaging mate-rials that meet both sustainability goals and food safety requirements.

The purposes of this research were 1) to study community products towards the development of product potential for tourism, 2) to develop community products using design thinking methods using the cultural heritage capital, and 3) to assess tourist satisfaction towards community products based on cultural heritage. The research was conducted in three phases: Phase 1 studying community products towards the development of product potential for tourism, Phase 2 developing community products using design thinking methods using the cultural heritage capital, and Phase 3 assessing tourist satisfaction towards community products based on cultural heritage. For Phase 1, two cultural tourism communities in Kamphaeng Phet Province, Thailand, were chosen for this research. The development of community products included consideration of community potential, cultural heritage, and tourism products (CCT), and these resulted in CCT Model. For Phase 2, the use of the five stages of design thinking and design thinking tools were employed with CCT Model of the communities in order to create their com-munity products based on cultural heritage (i.e., three products for each community). For Phase 3, the satisfaction of 100 tourists were assessed in terms of five aspects, including 1) connection with tourism, 2) connection with cultural heritage, 3) value based on identity and cultural heritage, 4) marketing ability, and 5) product quality. The community products were successfully created, and the overall satisfaction assessment result was at a high level. Recommendations for further research are also discussed

Nowadays, 3D computer graphics are firmly anchored in our daily lives, extending across a multitude of distinct fields. Although each field follows its specific objectives, two major objectives are taken into consideration: realism and rendering speed. This is why image-based rendering (IBMR) techniques, such as revolution mapping, are gaining interest. Revolution-bump mapping is an image-based rendering that allows the creation of 3D objects in their entirety and without using polygonal meshes. The objective of the study presented in this paper is to improve the revolution-bump mapping technique as well as its extensions while ensuring that the application of textures on revolved surfaces is realized adequately. This development will allow the creation of pre-existing revolve models, while maintaining the essential rendering speed requirements for real-time rendering.

This project was implemented to help low-income and underprivileged women grow their small businesses. This project aims to identify and analyse the problems faced by underprivileged women, focusing on food packaging. The participants were from Kampung Pinggan Jaya, Kuching Sarawak in Malaysia, who run small and medium food businesses. The food categories were based on dry and frozen foods, which were mainly homemade. The participants were housewives aged between 30 and 45 years with low monthly household incomes ranging from US $45 (MYR 200) to US $168 (MYR 750). Thus, the project's main objective is to improve product packaging to establish itself in the local market. Empathy mapping was the technique of choice as it demonstrates collaborative visualisation. Consequently, an entrepreneurship workshop was organised to identify potential products and participants interested in the project. Some problems and constraints during project implementation were due to financial concerns, attitudes, and illiteracy.

We present a basketball training visualization method – Motion Time Cylinder (MTC) designed to help novice players learn basketball techniques more easily. The basketball player can select their preferred movement to learn and visualize the body and joint movements in detail. Extensive visualization as a graphical assistant help supports the player in understanding 3D movements from the visual patterns. At the same time, players can understand the coordination and spatial relationship when playing the movement. The visualization principle is based on the mapping of body movement into the graphic of clock-based division locations. The movements can then be represented by the translation pattern between the frontal and transverse planes of cylinder spaces. As a result, the movement can be visualized by rendering the translation pattern base on the clock from a specific perspective, for example, an orthogonal view. This paper explains the visualization principles of the mapping and pattern as well as the graphical representation based on user perception

The article is dedicated to the examination of the bookplate of modern Ukraine, which starting from the 1990s entered the state of its revival and flourishing. A version of the bookplate typology, formed on the basis of pictorial motifs as the main classification criteria is proposed, while typologically bookplate is usually divided into groups based on the scope of use or the technique for creating graphic sheets. The reasons for the actualization of bookplate as a type of engraving at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, the factors that influenced its popularization outside the country, and the transformation of the functions of bookplate are considered. The role of collecting as one of the most powerful stimuli for the popularization of bookplate in the modern world of graphic arts is emphasized; the leading centers for the development of the bookplate in Ukraine at the beginning of the 21st century and the technique preferred by artists are indicated.

In recent years, mosaic images have found great success thanks to the increasing development in the field of imaging as well as the technological evolution of computer systems (camera, mobile, etc.). Mosaic images are obtained by merging several images of the same scene. The process incorporates several steps, each of which requires resources and execution time depending on the size, quality and resolution of the images used. In this paper, we propose a new image mosaic method that significantly reduces the execution time. The idea is to apply the stages of registration and search for the best inliers, necessary for the calculation of the geometric transformation, to the miniature of images. This allows the minimization of the overall processing time without altering the quality of the results. The experiment, on a database of images, shows that the proposed algorithm provides rapid results compared to similar methods. Also, we have extended our method to generate 360° panoramic images.
