Claim 13:
14. A computer program product for three-dimensional (3D) printing of an object, the computer program product comprising:
at least one computer-readable storage medium;
program instructions stored on the at least one computer-readable storage medium, the program instructions causing a processor(s) set to:
receive 3D image data from a scan of an object to print;
transpose the 3D image data from the scan of the object into an aggregate of layers of pixelated data;
receive an initial position of a light-emitting robot inserted within photosensitive material;
navigate the light-emitting robot through the photosensitive material, based on the aggregate of layers of the pixelated data from the object scan and feedback of a position of the light-emitting robot within the photosensitive material and the 3D image data from the scan of the object to print; and
activate light emission from the light-emitting robot, based on the 3D image data of the object to print, wherein the light emission from the light-emitting robot solidifies the photosensitive material.
