Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method for patterning internal and/or external doubly-curved surfaces by use of a light source, three-dimensional scanning optics, computer controller, and a multi-axis robot. The system is capable of digitally receiving shape, location, and pattern data of a three-dimensional doubly-curved surface and applying said pattern over large areas with high precision in a seamless fashion.
