    摘要: A 3D object (the “New Object”) is fabricated layer by layer by 3D printing. The shape and relative dimensions of the various parts of the New Object match that of another 3D object (the “Target Object”). In addition, the exterior of the New Object appears to be a photographic likeness of the Target Object. The “photographic” likeness is created by variations in visual characteristics of materials in the layers comprising the New Object, and in particular by variations at or near the surface of the New Object. Thus, the photographic likeness is an integral part of these layers comprising the New Object. An object is scanned, from which a texture map is obtained. A CAD model is sliced into slices (bit maps files) which are then colored by a program with the boundary to match the color or gray scale to color the appropriate pixels, derived from the texture map.

    摘要: A tow stabilization method includes applying liquid to a tow having fibers arranged into a non-stabilized spread-out fiber web, applying powder to the web to adhere the powder where liquid was applied, removing powder from where it did not adhere, and fusing the powder remaining on the web to stabilize the fiber arrangement. The liquid may be volatile. The step of fusing may include heating the fiber web. The liquid and/or powder may be selectively applied. Selective application of powder may be used without application of liquid or powder removal. A tow stabilization apparatus includes a liquid applicator, powder applicator, powder remover, and powder fuser. The liquid applicator may include spray nozzles, applicators based on miniature solenoid valves, inkjet printing heads, and roll applicators. The powder remover may include rollers, air blasters, vibrators, sound wave generators, and vacuums. The powder fuser may include heat applicators and chemical reaction initiators.
