| 20130095302 | GRAYSCALE RENDERING IN 3D PRINTING - An additive three-dimensional fabrication process uses multiple build materials with different optical properties (e.g., color, opacity) at different surface depths to achieve grayscale-rendered images on exterior surfaces thereof. | 04-18-2013 |
| 20130297320 | VOICE-CONTROLLED THREE-DIMENSIONAL FABRICATION SYSTEM - An additive three-dimensional fabrication system includes voice control for user interaction. This voice-controlled interface can enable a variety of voice-controlled functions and operations, while supporting interactions specific to consumer-oriented fabrication processes. | 11-07-2013 |
| 20130329243 | DOWNLOADABLE THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELS - A server is configured to store a number of different models of an object in machine-ready form corresponding to a number of different three-dimensional printers having differing capabilities and/or hardware configurations. When a user at a client device or a printer requests the object, the server automatically determines a printer type and selects a suitable, corresponding machine-ready model for immediate fabrication by the printer. | 12-12-2013 |
| 20130329257 | DOWNLOADABLE THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELS - A server is configured to store a number of different models of an object in machine-ready form corresponding to a number of different three-dimensional printers having differing capabilities and/or hardware configurations. When a user at a client device or a printer requests the object, the server automatically determines a printer type and selects a suitable, corresponding machine-ready model for immediate fabrication by the printer. | 12-12-2013 |
| 20130329258 | DOWNLOADABLE THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELS - A server is configured to store a number of different models of an object in machine-ready form corresponding to a number of different three-dimensional printers having differing capabilities and/or hardware configurations. When a user at a client device or a printer requests the object, the server automatically determines a printer type and selects a suitable, corresponding machine-ready model for immediate fabrication by the printer. | 12-12-2013 |
| 20140036034 | THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTER WITH LASER LINE SCANNER - A three-dimensional printer includes a laser line scanner and hardware to rotate the scanner relative to an object on a build platform. In this configuration, three-dimensional surface data can be obtained from the object, e.g., for use as an input to subsequent processing steps such as the generation of tool instructions to fabricate a three-dimensional copy of the object, or various surfaces thereof. | 02-06-2014 |
| 20140036035 | PRINTER WITH LASER SCANNER AND TOOL-MOUNTED CAMERA - A three-dimensional printer includes a laser line scanner and hardware to rotate the scanner relative to an object on a build platform. In this configuration, three-dimensional surface data can be obtained from the object, e.g., for use as an input to subsequent processing steps such as the generation of tool instructions to fabricate a three-dimensional copy of the object, or various surfaces thereof. | 02-06-2014 |
| 20140043441 | MOBILE DEVICE ACCESSORY FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL SCANNING - A variety of techniques are disclosed for enabling three-dimensional scanning with mobile devices. In general, an accessory provides additional optics, image sensors, lighting and/or processing to complement preexisting device hardware in support of a variety of three-dimensional imaging techniques. | 02-13-2014 |
| 20140043442 | MOBILE DEVICE ACCESSORY FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL SCANNING - A variety of techniques are disclosed for enabling three-dimensional scanning with mobile devices. In general, an accessory provides additional optics, image sensors, lighting and/or processing to complement preexisting device hardware in support of a variety of three-dimensional imaging techniques. | 02-13-2014 |
| 20140265035 | THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING WITH CONTROL OF THERMOALTERABLE BUILD MATERIALS - A variety of thermoalterable build materials are disclosed for use in three-dimensional printing, along with techniques for controlling properties of such materials in a fabricated object. In particular, changes in material flow rate permit instantaneous changes in heat transfer and resulting variations in the amount of thermoalteration, without requiring any changes to the temperature of a heater or extruder used to extrude the material. In this manner, flow rate facilitates spatial control of properties within a fabricated object. | 09-18-2014 |
