Hybrid Software’s Brenton King demonstrated the company’s 3D modelling software, Capture 3D at drupa 2024.

Launched in 2023, Hybrid Software’s Capture 3D technology is an optional expert application for on-the-mark 3D modelling and shrink sleeve quality.

Heat shrinkage is accurately compensated through 2D artwork to 3D modelling mapping, and the results can be shared in a visually realistic 3D preview.

The process begins by selecting the 3D grid pattern most applicable to printing techniques and packaging. The technology prints the grid and shrinks the pattern around the model.

Reflex cameras are used to scan 360 degrees of the model.

This generates a unique grid that compensates for distortion and is uploaded to Capture 3D.

In the last step, the 3D artwork is mapped to a 3D model, which can then be shared as part of the Hybrid workflow for approvals before being sent to print.

Processes that usually take days to perfect are integrated into a smooth workflow and completed in minutes. 

“It’s all about bringing quality products to the market,” says King.
