Abstract
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.
Claims4
A three-dimensional printing system for creating an extrusion within a three-dimensional printer for use in printing a three-dimensional object, comprising:
- an extruder of the three-dimensional printer that comprises a housing and is configured to receive a filament;
- a feeder coupled to the housing for supplying the filament to the housing of the extruder;
- and
- an injector for injecting colored dye into the filament received from the housing of the extruder,
- wherein the filament comprises an elongated line of pixels.
