Abstract:
In one aspect, methods of printing a color 3D article are described herein. In some embodiments, a method described herein comprises receiving data representing a surface colorization of the article, and transforming the data representing the surface colorization of the article into voxel data of the article. The voxel data comprises (a) location values and at least one of (b) color values and (c) transparency values for a plurality of columns of voxels normal or substantially normal to a surface of the article. The method further comprises selectively depositing layers of one or more build materials onto a substrate to form the article in accordance with the voxel data. In addition, at least one column of the plurality of columns of voxels exhibits a surface color resulting from a combination of colors of a plurality of voxels of the column.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of printing a three-dimensional article with a surface colorization, the method comprising:\n receiving data representing the surface colorization of the article; transforming the data representing the surface colorization of the article into voxel data of the article, the voxel data comprising (a) location values and at least one of (b) color values and (c) transparency values for a plurality of columns of voxels normal to a surface of the article; and selectively depositing layers of one or more build materials onto a substrate to form the article in accordance with the voxel data, wherein at least one column of the plurality of columns of voxels exhibits a surface color resulting from a combination of colors of at least two voxels of the column, wherein the at least two voxels of the column each contribute to the surface color of the column, and wherein the at least two voxels have different color values and/or different transparency values.
