1. A method for forming a color-accurate physical object from a three-dimensional (3D) computer-based model comprising: forming page images for a 3D computer-based model, the page images corresponding to cross-sectional segments of the 3D computer-based model, the 3D computer-based model including an image color that is different than a media color to be used to form the physical object; printing the page images on sheets of substrate media to form a plurality of printed documents; each printed document having the image color printed thereon based on a location of the image color in the 3D computer-based model, wherein each printed document comprises an inner perimeter and outer perimeter, the image color based on the location of the color in the 3D computer-based model being printed between the inner and outer perimeter to form a band of printed color so that interior portions of the printed documents that will not be visible when the physical object is formed do not include printed color; trimming the printed documents along a trim path between the inner and outer perimeters in the band of printed color so that the printed color on the document is revealed along the trim path; and stacking the printed documents to form the color accurate physical object.
