System and Method for Generating an Image in a Three-Dimensionally Printed Object

摘要

A system for generating three dimensional objects that include an image, and methods for manufacturing and using same. Some embodiments include an elongated line for generating a three dimensional object via additive manufacturing having an image defined by a pixel array, where the line includes a plurality of discrete pixels disposed along the length of the line, the pixels configured to generate the pixel array. Other embodiments include an extruder system configured to extrude a line. Further embodiments include a method of generating a three dimensional object via additive manufacturing having an image defined by a pixel array
