Abstract:The conventional approach to appearance prediction for 3D printed parts is to print a thin slab of material and measure its reflectance or transmittance with a spectrophotometer. Reflectance works for opaque printing materials. Transmittance works for transparent printing materials. However, the conventional approach does not work convincingly for translucent materials. For these, we need to separate scattering and absorption. We suggest printing a collection of thin slabs of different thicknesses and using th… Show more
