Leading chemical company Ciba Specialty Chemicals has extended its color management services offer to include color visualization of 3D objects.
A cooperation agreement with ColorViz for exclusive distribution rights worldwide of Mosaic and Indigo software makes Ciba the first specialty chemicals supplier to offer a very extensive range of color management services from creation to realization.
“This progressive color visualization software can be linked with Ciba COLIBRI color formulation software, allowing users to view their materials immediately on the required objects, thereby reducing prototype design time from weeks to hours,” said Sonia Megert Marshall, Global Head of Color Services, Ciba Specialty Chemicals.
“The connection to formulation is a breakthrough in the virtual prototyping tools for industrial designers, where color is a key competitive factor; the technical specification of color is now made easy through the use of this innovative solution,” said Christophe Dauga, General Manager of ColorViz.
ColorViz Mosaic and Indigo visual appearance simulation software systems radically reduce the time-consuming and costly production of samples. Mosaic shows users in a matrix on screen the color space that they can achieve with their own formulas, hence enabling specifiers to assess the technical feasibility of their colors.
ColorViz Indigo simulates in real time the actual objects required. Pearlescent effects, interference pigments, metallic particles and special effect inks can be virtually mixed in a color matrix or superimposed on a colored substrate.
