APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROL OF THREE DIMENSIONAL PRINTING

摘要

Disclosed are an apparatus and method for control of 3D printing. The apparatus includes a color data generation unit configured to generate entity-specific color data representing a color of each entity forming a 3D object based on modeling information about the 3D object, a color quantization unit configured to convert the entity-specific color data to represent one of a plurality of output-able colors as the color of each entity, and an output file generation unit configured to generate an output file to be used for output of the 3D object from the modeling information and the converted entity-specific color data.

1. An apparatus for control of three-dimensional printing (3D printing), the apparatus comprising:
a color data generator configured to generate first entity-specific color data, representing colors of entities forming a 3D object based on modeling information about the 3D object; a color quantizer configured to convert the first entity-specific color data into second entity-specific color data, by converting the colors of entities to match a plurality of output colors; and an output file generator configured to generate an output file, to be used for output of the 3D object, from the modeling information and the second entity-specific color data.
