Session Abstract

The Lenticular effect first grabbed my attention through a Stratasys PolyJet sample featuring layered CLEAR DOME lenses that reveal shifting colors as you change viewing angles, a modern twist on the "moving pictures" from kids' books. Today, we're taking that effect to the next level. By combining xGenerative Design’s powerful UX Curve mapping, xShape's limitless Sub-D surface modeling, and practical SolidWorks integration, we're pushing the boundaries of what's possible. With crystal-clear materials, millions of color combinations, and flexible PolyJet support, we're creating complex 3D patterns with stunning visual impact. Thanks to xGen’s Visual Scripting, we can iterate endlessly and effortlessly. Building on years of research, advanced design approaches, and new Additive Manufacturing tools, we’re achieving our design goals better, faster, and more creatively than ever before.
