Advancing the 3D printing industry with temporarily-viewable content, including advertisements, sculptures, indicia, and dynamically-changing presentations

摘要

Methods and systems are described for constructing 3D printed objects with temporarily-viewable content. Select temporarily-viewable content is constructed using at least one additive manufacturing material, displayed on at least one visible layer of the unfinished object, viewable at least in part to entertain and/or instruct the user during at least one object construction phase, and concealed by at least one covering layer. Various embodiments include temporarily-viewable content configured as advertisements, text communications, graphical imagery, product representations, indicia, and/or other designs. Several embodiments include displaying successively-changing temporarily-viewable content to create dynamic presentations, replacing temporarily-viewable content with permanently-viewable content, and/or constructing temporarily-viewable sculptures and/or other three-dimensional representations as at least part of unfinished object builds. Certain embodiments include modifying content at least partly due to user attentiveness, location, and/or movement.
