Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein relating to compositing dynamic content on 3D printed objects. A printing subsystem may transmit printing instructions to a 3D printer that include only a single digital mesh of the object, digital meshes of each discrete element of the dynamic content, and instructions for compositing unique combinations of the discrete elements on each instance of the object or each instance of a set of objects printed by the 3D printer.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein to determine positive or negative displacement distances for each pixel of an image of a graphical element. A displacement subsystem may determine surface displacement distances based on a function of a distance of each pixel to a nearest edge pixel of the image of the graphical element. A mapping subsystem may generate a surface displacement map of the graphical element to be applied to a surface of a three-dimensional object. The surface displacement map may be used to generate a mesh file and/or transmitted to a three-dimensional printing for printing on a surface of an object.

Abstract: Examples relate to providing spatial analysis using attribute graphs. In one examples, there are a number of spatial points that each represent characteristics in a dimensional space. Non-data points are generated in the dimensional space, and a Delaunay triangulation is performed using the spatial points and the non-data points to generate a plurality of edges, where interior points of the plurality of non-data points that are in an interior space of the plurality of spatial points are excluded from the Delaunay triangulation. Next, spatial edges from the plurality of edges that each connect a spatial point that is connected to a first mixed edge to another spatial point that is connected to a second mixed edge are identified, where the spatial edges are used to generate a robust contour of a cluster of the spatial points.
