Abstract: Systems and methods for printing a 3D object on a 3D printer, including: receiving (i) a digital 3D model comprising a 3D geometry of the 3D object, (ii) a 2D displacement map, (iii) one or more maximal displacement values, and (iv) a printing resolution, calculating a displacement limit for each vertex of the 3D model based on the one or more maximal displacement values, applying local tessellation on the 3D model geometry in accordance with the 2D displacement map and with the printing resolution, thereby obtaining a tessellated 3D model, applying the displacement information of the 2D displacement map to the tessellated 3D model in accordance with the calculated displacement limit relative to each vertex, thereby obtaining a displaced 3D model, and printing the 3D object with the 3D printer based on the displaced 3D model.

Abstract: Systems and methods of printing a colored 3D object, including: receiving an original 3D digital model of a colored 3D object comprising data relating to the geometry and to the color of the 3D object, receiving a printing resolution information relating to a 3D printing device connected to the processor, reducing the amount of data of the original 3D digital model in accordance with the printing resolution of the printing device, a geometric variation threshold and a color variation threshold, thereby generating an approximated 3D digital model of the colored 3D object, and printing the 3D object on the 3D printing device based on the approximated 3D digital model.

Abstract: A system and method of printing a three-dimensional (3D) object may include: receiving an original mesh file of a 3D object, said mesh file comprising a primary mesh data element, representing a respective primary mesh, defined by a plurality of polygons; identifying at least one target design element, associated with the primary mesh; producing at least one auxiliary mesh, based on a geometry of said at least one identified target design element; creating a modified mesh file comprising the primary mesh and the at least one auxiliary mesh; and printing the 3D object based on the modified mesh file.
