Abstract
An object replicator that replicates the physical form of an object in a polymer or the like by employing a Computed Tomography scanner or a Magnetic Resonance Imaging system, to digitize the physical features of the object to be copied. This data is used to form an electronic three-dimensional representation of the object. The electronic representation is then sectioned and provided to a three-dimensional printer to replicate a copy of those features by sequentially forming and joining laminae corresponding to the sections, to build up a physical replication of the object in a step-wise fashion whereby the three dimensional object is auto-matically formed from a composite of laminae.
