Abstract: A three dimensional printing system which creates a multiple color printed structure which may be e.g. an inflatable likeness. The printing is done with a stretchy material such as silicone and is printed in layers of different color in order to match the designed likeness colors. In preferred embodiments, the 3d printing is done inside a gel suspension with a specialized print head which dispenses silicone in layers of color to produce the final desired color of silicone in the particular locations as determined by the avatar or likeness design.
