DESCRIPTION
[0001]The present invention relates to a 2D/3D scan and printing
system called 3DU in this document, which allows the end user to
get an advantage of the latest technology of Hardware and Software,
Multi core processors and 2D/3D IR camera to make an accurate 3D
scan of a person's body with all the details including textures
with an automated design.
This created 3D scan called 3D mesh and the software could export
either an .obj or .ply or .stl format. This file will be send to a
3D printer for a print the object in full color including textures.
BREIF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0002] FIG.1 is a three dimensional view of 3DU (1).
[0003] FIG.2 is a block diagram of PC program architecture used in
3DU (1).
RAM GROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004],For the last couple of years the technology had so many new
inventions in 3D scanning and 3D printing so it would be valuable
to use the technology of hardware and software to design a complete
system for end user with the minimal experience in those technology
in order to scan an object or person and 3D print them in full
color and complete texture.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0005]In the following description, for the purpose of the
explanation, specific details are set in order to provide a good
understanding of a 2D/3D scan and print system (3DU)(1). The
following description provides drawings, application examples which
should not be construed in a limiting sense as they are just some
of the possible implementation of 3DU (1).

[0006]Referring to FIG. 1, a 3DU (1) of the present invention is
illustrated. A regular 3DU (1) may be is made of wood, metal (6)
and Plexiglas (3). The scanner or multi scanners for capture the 3D
image in very short time (2), a PC with 64 bit processor, a full
color 3D printer (5), a motorized turning table (4), an IR camera,
an Embedded controller board with built in USB or WiFi to
communicate with PC (7).
[0007]The PC includes a main metal case, a Motherboard, a hard
drive, a power supply and may be a wireless card for remote
management and maintenance via WLAN. The PC has at least five USB
3.0 connections for communicating with the other part of the system
such as scanners (2), 3D Printer (5) and an embedded controller
board.
[0008]Shown in FIG. 1 is one method of remote communication for
management or maintenance purpose. The authorize admin have full
access to setup the application, different functions,
configurations and process anytime from anywhere and also capable
of getting fully report of the system in use .
[0009]Another aspect of the 3DU (1) is a method to turn on and turn
off the system which makes 3DU (1) easy to use for commercial
purposes. The system is intelligently turn- on after plug into the
[0010]Another aspect of the 3DU (1) is the 3D printer (5). The 3D
printer (5) prints is able to print in one color or full color with
option of choosing the right material for the print.
[0011]The 3DU (1) includes a motorized turning table (2). The
turning table (2) includes at least a brushless motor a speed
control and metal or wood/ hard plastic case. =The RF signal is
coming from the PC will turn the turning table on/off. The 3DU (1)
is capable to turn on/off the turning table synchronized with the
software (2), change the volume of potentiometer change the speed
of rotation for more control and comfort.
[0012]The 3DU (1) has been described with reference to flow chart
illustrations and block diagrams of methods and PC program products
according to embodiments of the invention. The program execute via
the 64 bit processor of the PC.

[0013]The PC program may also be stored in PC hard drive that can
function in a particular manner (FIG. 2). The PC program is written
in C#.NET with some 3D calculation and algorithm with Math Lab.
