Abstract
A process and apparatus integrate a first 3D object model with a second 3D object model to generate an integrated 3D printable model. The first 3D object model models a first object that is passive. The second 3D object model models an electrical power source receptacle that operably connects to an electrical power source that provides electrical power for operation of the first object. The process and apparatus print a 3D object based upon the 3D model.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- integrating a first 3D object model with a second 3D object model to generate an integrated 3D printable model, the first 3D object model modeling a first object that is passive, the second 3D object model modeling an electrical power source receptacle that operably connects to an electrical power source that provides electrical power for operation of the first object;
- and
- printing a 3D object based upon the integrated 3D printable model.
An apparatus comprising:
- a material delivery mechanism comprising a conductive material and a nonconductive material;
- at least one 3D printer head;
- and
- a processor that provides instructions to the at least one printer head to print a 3D object from the material delivery mechanism based upon an integrated 3D printable model that integrates a first 3D object model and a second 3D object model, the first 3D object model modeling a first object that is passive, the second 3D object model modeling an electrical power source receptacle that operably connects to an electrical power source that provides electrical power for operation of the first object.
