摘要：
A printing system is used to selectively print a layer material on a surface that is initially in a planar or two-dimensional shape. After the layer material is printed onto the surface, it is exposed to an amount of radiation from a radiation source and partially cured. Several layer materials may be placed on top of one another and are also partially cured. The flat surface may be reshaped into a nonplanar or three-dimensional shape, and the layer materials are again exposed to an amount of radiation and fully cured.
技术问题语段：
The patent text discusses three-dimensional printing systems and methods, and how they can be used to create objects such as apparel and footwear. The technical problem addressed in the patent is how to design and print a complex three-dimensional pattern onto a shoe or footwear to create a unique and customizable appearance.
