  • Fabricating full color three-dimensional objects
    Patent number: 10539950
    Abstract: A method, computing system, and one or more computer-readable storage media for fabricating full color three-dimensional objects are provided herein. The method includes transforming a three-dimensional model into instructions for a fabrication device by slicing the three-dimensional model into layers with color information preserved, generating two-dimensional polygons for each layer based on colors on faces, colors on textures, and/or gradient colors, and determining a tool path for fabricating an object from colored materials based on the two-dimensional polygons for each layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 5, 2016
    Date of Patent: January 21, 2020
    Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC
    Inventors: Yulin Jin, Emmett Lalish, Kris N. Iverson, Jesse McGatha, Shanen J. Boettcher
