ABSTRACT:
A computer-controlled master reproducer for depositing a master reproduction on a substrate includes a master source containing in machine-readable format one or more masters each having a shape characteristic and a color characteristic. Also included is a curable-material source, and gun structure interconnected with the curable-material source for shooting the curable material toward the substrate to deposit the master reproduction on it. The gun structure is constructed to shoot the curable material in microdroplet form to deposit discrete dots of curable material on the substrate. Orientation structure is also included for orienting the gun structure with respect to the substrate, and a computer controller is in communication with the above components. Other features of the master reproducer include master-obtaining structure which may include one or all of the following: (1) a scanner constructed for scanning an image such as a photograph and storing the scanned image in a machine-readable format, (2) a CAD device to allow for a user-designed master, and (3) a modem for communication with another master source. The master reproducer may also include a curing device, such as a pulsating UV laser, for curing the curable-material after it is deposited on the substrate. The gun structure deposits the master reproduction on the substrate in a form that allows the entire master reproduction to be removed from the substrate in one piece after the curable material has cured. Other aspects of the invention include a master reproduction with a body formed using the above-described master reproducer, and a method of depositing a master reproduction on a substrate in a form that allows for removal of the master reproduction in one piece.
