The objective is to establish the technology as the
graphical imaging method of choice for manufacturers of consumer products who
are seeking to achieve a competitive advantage by differentiating their product
through customisation or personalisation.

Comeleon Technology part
of the Tanfield Group plc.
Comeleon is a technology company that is targeting the global, rapidly developing market for the personalisation, through customisation, of mass-produced consumer products. |
|
The
company has developed a proprietary and patented process for applying
high quality, full colour, decorative digital images or designs directly
onto three dimensional objects manufactured out of materials such as
plastic, glass or metal. ("the comeleon technology process")
.The comeleon process is scaleable with relatively low capital requirements
and is capable of being semi-automated so that designs can be produced
quickly and cost effectively.

Put your own design, image or photo onto your mobile phone cover, Laptop, PDA, Cameras or mouse!
The technology allows you to put full colour images
onto 3 dimensional products. It can do this onto various substrates, plastic,
metal, wood, glass, etc. The most obvious are products with plastic shells or
hand held electronic devises such as PDA's. This type of product also has the
biggest commercial benefit to Tanfield.The technology allows you to decorate
the product and to personalise and customise that decoration. The technology
is patented and the revenue stream is dependent upon ongoing consumable sales.
We supply the machines at cost.
The technology comes in 2 formats. The ImageBox and the ImageBox Supa.
The ImageBox is desktop version. I suggest that you look at: www.3dimagebox.com
This will give you a background to the desktop product suitable for schools,
small businesses, franchise operations, etc. It is being used in several
schools in graphical design and technology depts. students can use design
software (e.g Adobe Photoshop) create a design the ImageBox allows them
to see the design being applied to a product.Design and Technology equipment
can be defined as craft equipment it may be woodwork or metawork equipment.
The ImageBoxSupa is the large volume version which
is appropriate for plastic injection moulders. What we have found is that manufacturers
will take the desk top version to trial the technology and then buy into the
large volume format.
