Abstract
A method for generating a material for a partial replacement includes receiving an image of a sample of an original material needing to be replaced, generating a representative data set for the original material based on the image received, accessing a reference database comprised of a plurality of different materials and including reference texture data or reference characteristic data for each of the plurality of different materials, comparing the representative data set to the reference data in the reference database, identifying at least one of the plurality of different materials correlated to the representative data set, determining the identified correlated material is not available, sending a request to generate a replacement material, and generating the replacement material.
