  • Publication number: 20230088176
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a design support device refers to a database. The database stores a graph structure. The graph structure includes a specification item, a unit item, a first item, and a second item. The unit item is of a unit included in a product. The unit item is associated with the specification item. The first item is tied to a system simulation model and associated with the unit item. The second item is tied to a three-dimensional model and associated with the unit item and the first item. The design support device transmits a first notification to a first processing device when the three-dimensional model is updated. The first processing device is tied to the first item.

  • Patent number: 11203158
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, of the present disclosure, a stereolithography apparatus is a 3D printer of various kinds used to form a solid object (a mockup of a tennis racket or a golf club) on the basis of original design data (CAD data). In this apparatus, markers (MKa, or MKb1 to MKb4) corresponding to one or more sinkers are disposed at one or more positions of an object formed to be lighter than a design weight of the solid object formed on the basis of the original design data. In the structure, one or more sinkers having a certain weight, size, and shape, are disposed in one or more marker positions of the object.
