Abstract
A computer-implemented method for generating a color 3D model for a dental restoration. The method receives color information, a color distribution map, and shape for a tooth. The color information is assigned to the color distribution map. The color information and the color distribution map are then combined with the shape to generate a digital color 3D model. The resulting 3D model includes volumes for different color materials for the restoration to provide for color transition zones, which can be 3D printed from the 3D model to made a corresponding restoration.
