Shaping system
A shaping system is provided and includes: a shaping executing part configured to execute shaping of a three-dimensional object and including multiple inkjet heads that respectively discharge ink droplets of colors different from each other; and a shaping controlling part configured to control an operation of the shaping executing part. The shaping controlling part accepts a designation of a shaping color being a color of the three-dimensional object to be shaped based on a shaping data from an user, and causes the shaping executing part to shape the three-dimensional object so that at least an outer appearance of the three-dimensional object is colored in the shaping color which is designated. The shaping executing part shapes the three-dimensional object according to a control by the shaping controlling part, and colors at least an outer appearance of the three-dimensional object in the shaping color designated by the user using multiple inkjet heads.
1. A shaping system configured to shape a three-dimensional object based on a shaping data that expresses the three-dimensional object, the shaping system comprising:
a shaping executing part being a section for executing shaping of the three-dimensional object, and the shaping executing part including a plurality of inkjet heads that respectively discharge ink droplets of colors different from each other; and
a shaping controlling part configured to control an operation of the shaping executing part,
wherein the shaping controlling part accepts a designation of a shaping color being a color of the three-dimensional object to be shaped based on the shaping data from an user, and causes the shaping executing part to shape the three-dimensional object so that at least an outer appearance of the three-dimensional object is colored in the shaping color which is designated, and
the shaping executing part shapes the three-dimensional object according to a control by the shaping controlling part, and colors at least an outer appearance of the three-dimensional object in the shaping color designated by the user using the plurality of inkjet heads.
2. The shaping system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein
the shaping color is a color to be applied to an entirety of a surface of the three-dimensional object.
3. The shaping system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein
the shaping controlling part accepts the designation of the shaping color from the user via an user interface operated by the user.
4. The shaping system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein
the shaping data is data that expresses at least a shape of the three-dimensional object to be shaped, and
the shaping controlling part generates data that expresses at least the color of the outer appearance and the shape of the three-dimensional object as shaping control data for controlling the operation of the shaping executing part, the shaping control data being generated based on the shape of the three-dimensional object expressed by the shaping data and the shaping color designated by the user, and
the shaping executing part shapes the three-dimensional object having at least the outer appearance colored in the shaping color by executing the shaping based on the shaping control data.
5. The shaping system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein
the shaping controlling part receives a designation of a plurality of shaping colors that are different from each other from the user, and causes the shaping executing part to shape a plurality of three-dimensional objects, each three-dimensional object having at least an outer appearance colored in a corresponding color, and
the shaping executing part shapes the plurality of three-dimensional objects having the same shape but different colors according to the control by the shaping controlling part.
6. The shaping system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein
the shaping data is data that does not include a color designation and that expresses the shape of the three-dimensional object to be shaped.
7. The shaping system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein
the shaping data is data that includes a color designation and expresses the shape of the three-dimensional object to be shaped,
in a case where the shaping color is not designated by the user, the shaping controlling part causes the shaping executing part to shape the three-dimensional object using a color designated by the shaping data, and
in a case where the shaping color is designated by the user, the shaping controlling part causes the shaping executing part to shape the three-dimensional object having at least the outer appearance colored in the shaping color.
