Mapping Images Onto Solids In Mathematica, Zachary Ash

Undergraduate Research

The goal of this research is to design a flexible method for mapping a two-dimensional grayscale image onto the surface of a three-dimensional solid. The approach used should be relatively easy to adapt to various solids without redesigning the entire process as well as able to map the entire image onto the entire object – partial coverage of the object and partial usage of the image are to be avoided. Having decided on an approach, the method is then to be designed in Mathematica to produce an STL file of the object with the desired grayscale image embossed or engraved …
