Abstract
An apparatus for correcting a defect in an object using three-dimensional (3D) printing. The apparatus includes a flexible wrapper-shaped printing module including an array of port openings adapted to allow a 3D printable material to move therethrough. The flexible wrapper-shaped printing module is configured to wrap around an object to allow the 3D printable material to move through a first set of selected port openings of the array of port openings and be injected into the defect in order to correct the defect.
