Abstract

See full text

A computer implemented method and an object development system (ODS) for developing a three-dimensional (3D) object are provided. The ODS receives a 3D image in one or more image formats from one or more sources. The ODS determines object development requirements and a display type of the received 3D image. The ODS creates a support structure based on the object development requirements and the display type. The support structure includes one or more branching elements movably attached to each other and/or a support element for facilitating movement in the 3D object. The ODS fits the received 3D image on the support structure and constructs a multi-layered volumetric 3D image therefrom. The ODS segments the multi-layered volumetric 3D image into multiple 3D printable units. The ODS transmits the 3D printable units to one or more 3D printing devices for printing each 3D printable unit for assembling and developing the 3D object.
