Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 3:
4. The apparatus of claim 1, operated by performing a computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, three-dimensional (3D) image data of an from a 3D scan of the object;
transposing, by the one or more processors, the 3D image data into an aggregate of layers of pixelated data;
receiving, by the one or more processors, an initial position of a light-emitting robot inserted within photosensitive material included in a container;
communicating, by the one or more processors, with the light-emitting robot by wireless transmissions;
navigating, by the one or more processors, the light-emitting robot through the photosensitive material, based on the aggregate of layers of the pixelated data of the object scan and feedback of the position of the light-emitting robot within the photosensitive material; and
activating, by the one or more processors, light emission from the light-emitting robot, based on the wireless communication with the light-emitting robot and a position of the light-emitting robot within the photosensitive material corresponding to the aggregate of layers of pixelated data of the 3D image data, wherein the light emission from the light-emitting robot solidifies the photosensitive material.
