Fabricating three-dimensional objects with embossing

A system for generating a 3D model for fabrication, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a system memory comprising code to direct the processor to:
• obtain a three-dimensional (3D) mesh comprising polygons;
• obtain a two-dimensional (2D) image;
• receive position information describing a position of the 2D image relative to the 3D mesh;
• and
• modify the 3D mesh based on the 2D image and the position information to generate an embossed 3D mesh that is embossed with the 2D image.

One or more computer-readable memory storage devices for storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processing devices, generate an embossed 3D model, the computer-readable instructions comprising code configured to:

• obtain a three-dimensional (3D) mesh comprising polygons;
• obtain a two-dimensional (2D) image;
• receive position information describing a position of the 2D image relative to the 3D mesh;
• and
• modify the 3D mesh based on the 2D image and the position information to generate an embossed 3D mesh that is embossed with the 2D image.
