  • Grayscale rendering in 3D printing
    Patent number: 10682814
    Abstract: An article of manufacture formed by a three-dimensional printing process that uses multiple build materials with different optical properties (e.g., color, opacity, and the like) at different surface depths to achieve grayscale-rendered images on exterior surfaces thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 8, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 16, 2020
    Assignee: MakerBot Industries, LLC
    Inventors: Nathaniel B. Pettis, Adam G. Mayer, Anthony James Buser

  • Three-dimensional surface texturing
    Patent number: 10040254
    Abstract: An additive three-dimensional fabrication process is improved by controlling deposition rate to obtain surface textures or other surface features below the nominal processing resolution of fabrication hardware. Sub-resolution information may be obtained, for example, from express metadata (such as for surface texture), or by interpolating data from a source digital model.
