다양한 텍스쳐 표현을 통한 3D 프린팅 기술의 상용화

Abstract

With the proliferation of affordable 3D printing technology, we are entering a new era in manufacturing. Nowadays, consumers are able to fabricate plastic objects at home using digital 3D models. However, designing 3D products is not easy, and the current consumer 3D modeling softwares only allow for simple objects with limited expression. In this project, we developed a novel design tool that helps people personalize 3D printed objects by the application of custom surface texture to arbitrary objects. We studied the possibilities of enhancing user experience with surface texture. We tested several materials and introduce a concept of a user interface.
