Abstract
We have proposed latent image processing using a machining center, and have been conducting research in our laboratory for several years. Consequently, at present, the processing method is almost established, and it has become possible to process samples that are reasonably satisfactory in terms of cost and processing quality. However, currently, the evaluation method of latent image processing quality relies on visual inspection. Moreover, from the beginning, we believed that latent image processing could be used to make souvenirs and during experimental training at educational institutions, such as our institute, but until now, we had not specifically considered how to use it. Therefore, in this paper, we first introduce the three types of latent image processing that have been performed thus far, and summarize their characteristics. Subsequently, the evaluation method of the latent image processing quality and the utilization method are newly examined and the result of the confirmation is reported.
