Title:
SHAPE PLANNING SUPPORT APPARATUS AND SHAPING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3516860
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shape planning support apparatus capable of clearly deciding the position of a three-dimensional article in a measuring device even with respect to a three-dimensional article having any shape when the shape of the shaped three-dimensional article is measured, facilitating the setting of a measuring route, making the distance of the measuring route shortest and making a measuring time shortest and a shaping method.
SOLUTION: A shape data forming apparatus 1 adding the shape data of a support supporting a three-dimensional article to be shaped and having at least two reference surfaces to the shape data of the three-dimensional article to form synthetic shape data, a shaping device 2 for shaping the three- dimensional article and the three-dimensional article support on the basis of synthetic shape data, a reference position determining stand 3 having the decided reference surfaces at least at two positions and aligning the reference surfaces of the three-dimensional article support with the reference surfaces to arrange the three-dimensional article support to decide the position of the three- dimensional article support and a three-dimensional article measuring device 4 measuring the shape of the three-dimensional article are provided.
