Methods and apparatuses for printing three dimensional images

摘要

Systems and methods for printing a 3D object on a three-dimensional (3D) printer are described. The methods semi-automatically or automatically delineate an item in an image, receive a 3D model of the item, matches said item to said 3D model, and send the matched 3D model to a 3D printer.

1. A computer-implemented method of three-dimensional (3D) printing of a 3D object, the method comprising:
receiving, using a processor, a wire-frame 3D model of an object of interest, the wire-frame 3D model including shape information of the object of interest; breaking the 3D wire-frame model into 3D components using a processor; and generating, using a processor, mapped information by mapping information from a portion of an image that depicts the object of interest to the 3D components of the wire-frame 3D model.
