Image correction with 3D printing

A method of three-dimensional printing onto an article of apparel, comprising:

• receiving an undistorted three-dimensional pattern for display on the article, the undistorted three-dimensional pattern configured for placement on at least a portion of a human body;
• creating a predistorted three-dimensional pattern from the undistorted three-dimensional pattern for printing onto a three-dimensional geometric primitive object;
• receiving the predistorted three-dimensional pattern in a three-dimensional printing system;
• and
• printing the predistorted three-dimensional pattern onto the article.

A method of three-dimensional printing onto an article of apparel, comprising:

• receiving, in a computing device, an undistorted three-dimensional pattern for display on the article, the undistorted three-dimensional pattern configured for placement on at least a portion of a human body;
• creating, using the computing device, a predistorted three-dimensional pattern from the undistorted three-dimensional pattern for printing onto a three-dimensional geometric primitive object;
• receiving the predistorted three-dimensional pattern to a three-dimensional printing system;
• and
• printing the predistorted three-dimensional pattern onto the article.

A method of three-dimensional printing onto an article of apparel, comprising:

• receiving, in a computing device, an undistorted three-dimensional pattern for display on the article, the undistorted three-dimensional pattern configured for placement on at least a portion of a human body, at least a portion of the undistorted three-dimensional pattern having at least a first arc length;
• creating, using the computing device, a predistorted three-dimensional pattern from the undistorted three-dimensional pattern for printing onto a three-dimensional geometric primitive object, at least a portion of the predistorted three-dimensional pattern having at least a second arc length;
• receiving the predistorted three-dimensional pattern in a three-dimensional printing system;
• and
• printing at least a portion of the second arc length of the predistorted three-dimensional pattern onto the article disposed on the three-dimensional geometric primitive object.

A system for three-dimensional printing onto an article of apparel, comprising:

• a three-dimensional printing device;
• and
• at least one computer system,
• wherein the three-dimensional printing device is in direct communication with the at least one computer system,
• wherein the at least one computer system receives an undistorted three-dimensional pattern for display on the article, the undistorted three-dimensional pattern configured for placement on at least a portion of a human body, at least a portion of the undistorted three-dimensional pattern having at least a first arc length,
• wherein the at least one computer system creates a predistorted three-dimensional pattern from the undistorted three-dimensional pattern for printing onto a three dimensional geometric primitive object, at least a portion of the predistorted three-dimensional pattern having at least a second arc length,
• wherein the three-dimensional printing device comprises a rotatable cylinder for receiving the article, and at least one printing head for printing onto the article, and
• wherein the three-dimensional printing device prints at least a portion of the second arc length of the predistorted three-dimensional pattern onto the article disposed on the three-dimensional geometric primitive object.
