Embodiment Construction

[0046] An exemplary setup of a layered object manufacturing (LOM) system provided in accordance with the present teachings will be described below in order to understand the benefits of the present teachings. These arrangements are to be understood as examples of such systems that may be provided, and it is not intended that the present teachings be limited to any one particular arrangement, since, without departing from the scope of the present teachings, modifications to the arrangements described herein may be made. Make various modifications.

[0047] In one aspect of the present teachings, a layered object manufacturing (LOM) system configured to assemble a plurality of individual dielectric layers to form a colored three-dimensional (3D) object is provided. In the context of the present teachings that these layers are dielectric layers, the individual dielectric layers may be considered distinct physical elements or entities. In this way, these individual media layers c...

Abstract

Provided is a Layered Object Manufacturing, LOM, system configured to assemble a plurality of individual media layers to form a colored three-dimensional (3D) object, the system comprising a printer configured to color print at least a portion of a first surface of each of a plurality of media layers, and color print a corresponding portion of a second surface of the media layer, the second surface being opposite to the first surface, such that on operably printing the second surface a print-through region in the media layer is provided, and a collator configured to assemble the plurality of the individual media layers to form the 3D object. Also provided is a color 3D object media layer printing module for providing a print-through region in a 3D object media layer. Also provided is an ink for use in a Layer Object Manufacturing (LOM) system including the printing module.

Description

technical field [0001] The present teachings relate to layered object manufacturing (LOM) systems for rapid prototyping (RP), and more particularly to a printing module and method for printing three-dimensional (3D) object media layers in a LOM system to form colored 3D objects. The present teachings also provide an ink for use in the LOM system. Background technique [0002] Rapid prototyping is defined as computer-controlled additive manufacturing in that objects are manufactured by adding material rather than by removing or subtracting it from conventional machining methods. It is to be understood that the term "rapid" is a relative term, but one that has a specific meaning in the art, since the construction of a finished three-dimensional article can take anywhere from hours to days, depending on the method and the size and complexity of the model. A number of methods are known to be employed in the field of rapid prototyping. Layered object manufacturing (LOM) is a f...
