Abstract
The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for mapping an image to a three-dimensional pattern of relief features on a surface of an object for 3D printing. In some examples, a system may determine a pattern of relief features, including debossed relief features and/or embossed relief features, to create a shading pattern on the surface of 3D printed object that approximates the continuous halftones of an image.
