SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING A BODY PART MODEL USING MULTI-MATERIAL ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

摘要

A method for physically reconstructing a body part using multi-material additive manufacturing includes receiving image data of the body part in the form of arrays of voxels, each array of voxels representing image data pertaining to cross-section of the body part, translating the image data in the arrays of voxels to printable bitmap images representing combinations of modeling materials for reconstructing the body part, and dispensing the combinations of modeling materials responsive to the bitmap images in a layerwise manner.
