  • Media-based system for forming three-dimensional objects
    Patent number: 9073259
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to generating physical three-dimensional color-accurate objects based on a 3D computer-based color model using printed layers of media. Embodiments can slice a 3D computer-based color model into 3D cross-sectional components, which retain the color information of the model. The 3D cross-sectional segments can be converted into 2D page images and the color information can be included in a plan image corresponding to the cross-sectional segments. Embodiments can print the page images to form cross-sectional prints which can be layered and trimmed to shape the prints into a color accurate physical object that represents the model.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 29, 2011
    Date of Patent: July 7, 2015
    Assignee: Xerox Corporation
    Inventors: Ron Edward Dufort, Frank Albert Porter, Venkata Bharadwaj Chivukula, Aaron Michael Moore, Adam Douglas Ledgerwood
  • Vacuum drive for web control at photoreceptor
    Patent number: 8494412
    Abstract: Systems and a method for image forming systems to skip over the non-printing photoreceptor area in order to not skip a label position on a continuous print web medium. A vacuum assembly is coupled to a controller that controls different vacuum pressures at each vacuum roller therein. The vacuum rollers provide drag and drive forces to skip a seam of the photoreceptor and a residual length based on the number and size of images on the photoreceptor.
