Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8700796A1] A method and device for printing three-dimensional objects, characterised in that the means for transferring the inked design between a flat master surface from which said design is to be picked up and a three-dimensional object which is to be printed is constituted by a hollow resiliently deformable stamp (1) which is preferably hemispherical in shape and which, when pressed onto the master is capable of deformation to provide a flattened surface which allows said pick-up to take place and, when pressed onto a three-dimensional object (5) to be printed is capable of deformation to envelope the object over a surface area of substantially a hemisphere, this being the surface area to receive the inked design.
