Abstract

An apparatus for generating a 3D printing model using multiple textures includes a template model storage unit configured to store template models that are 3D models previously manufactured to be printable, a 3D model conversion unit configured to, upon receiving a 3D input model and a texture image, perform mesh deformation on the template model stored in the template model storage unit by using geometric information about the 3D input model, a texture processing unit configured to assign the texture image to the 3D model having being subjected to the mesh deformation, and a 3D printing model output unit configured to output a geometric model and a texture image of the template model which are finally calculated.
