  • Method and system for manufacturing a three-dimensional object
    Publication number: 20060235562
    Abstract: A three-dimensional object is automatically manufactured by making a surface model of the object; making a voxel model of the object, with a lower resolution than the surface model, the voxel model, place-dependently per voxel, containing information about a composition of the material of which the object must be made at the place of the voxel; forming the object by pointwise depositing material, the composition of the deposited materiel per point being controlled with the voxel model, and the deposition or non-deposition of the material on different sides of the surface being controlled with the surface model with higher resolution than the control of the composition.
