ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING WITH CONTRAST AGENTS

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18704875 titled 'ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING WITH CONTRAST AGENTS

Original Abstract Submitted

In an example, a method includes defining, for an interior portion of an object to be generated in additive manufacturing, an imaging characteristic in a radiation environment. In some examples the method further includes deriving object model data for generating the interior portion of the object by determining an amount of a first contrast agent and an amount of a second contrast agent to deposit such that the object generated according to the object model data comprises the defined imaging characteristic apparent in an image of at least a part of the object comprising the interior portion captured in the radiation environment. The first contrast agent and the second contrast agent may have different imaging characteristics in the radiation environment.
