The name is Qubick painting. The installation is very expensive. I have a good alternative. Lastly you protect it with a high gloss or mat clear coat. The process you are refering to is called 3D printing.
Different companies call it different names.
There are two options - hot process for metals and glass in fairly regular shapes and cold process for heat sensitive materials, glass, wood and metals in irregular shape. The process is called dip-printing. I am sure that I have forgot to list. I too am interested in this process. Can someone direct me to a web site for more information.
