the emerging field of surface imaging
TRANSCRIPT
T h e E m e r g i n g F i e l d o f S u r f a c e I m a g i n g
Surface Imaging provides imagery and design solutions for various physical
forms using a variety of digital printing technologies, including direct surface
imaging on porous and non-porous substrates as well as fabrication printing
using material deposition and subtraction printing technologies
• Surface Imaging is a trans-disciplinary field that moves beyond
the boundaries of existing traditional fields of disciplines
Digital Non-Impact Printing Technology (Direct Printing)
Ultra-Violet Light, Latex, Dye Sublimation, Aqueous dye/pigment
• Porous Substrates (paper, fabric, wood and other organic materials)
• Non-porous Substrates (glass, metal, plastics, composites)
Digital Fabrication Printing Technology (Material Deposition & Subtraction Printing)
Material Deposition (Relief Surface / 3D Modeling)
Subtraction Printing (Laser, CNC)
• Porous Substrates (paper, fabric, wood and other organic materials)
• Non-porous Substrates (glass, metal, plastics, composites)
Advancing technology, mass customization, and changes in manufacturing and
materials have increased opportunities for imaging on non-traditional surfaces.

• The MS in Surface Imaging offers students the opportunity to develop imagery for various
physical forms using a variety of printing technologies in a hands-on studio environment.
• Students will explore direct surface imaging on diverse porous and non-porous substrates.
Fabrication printing, including material deposition and subtraction printing technologies will
become an integral part of the program.
• The MS in Surface Imaging offers a trans-disciplinary approach to learning that moves
beyond the boundaries of existing traditional academic fields.
• The curriculum combines design, applied engineering and business components in order to
achieve creative, innovative and economic opportunities in a wide range of professional
fields.
• The program supports Business Incubator concepts to encourage entrepreneurial
approaches to the Surface Imaging field.
M S S I C u r r i c u l u m • MS degree program for full-time and part-time students for a total of 30 credits • Program starts from Fall semester and end at Spring semester including summer long semester
* SI Foundation is recommended to all students except for those who have solid design background. For those who are waived for this course, Program Director will select the course form Designated elective courses.
** Philadelphia University undergraduate students can take SI Design 1 as an advanced elective course upon approval of Program Director. *** Selection comes from lists in Designated elective. **** Capstone project requires creation of Business Plan and this is a prerequisite for those who do not have knowledge and experience of business plan creation. The Program Director will
make the final decision and the course is offered under SBA. ***** This is a studio elective course that can be chosen from any graduate level design studio courses offered in the University.
