Three-dimensional model colorization during model construction from computer aided design data

摘要

A method of generating colorized three-dimensional models with a solid imaging printer is disclosed. The method comprises discharging a model building material to a plurality of compartments in a printerhead assembly, applying simultaneously to a surface the model building material and the differently colored model building materials generated by the solid imaging printer to create the three-dimensional model, and directing an application of the model building material and the differently colored model building materials with a controller for generating the three-dimensional model by a successive layering of the model building material and the differently colored model building materials.
