Abstract: In an information processing device, an information acquisition means acquires a first data subset created by extracting a partial data group included in a first data set, a first distance corresponding to a distance between the first data subset and the first data set, a second data subset created by extracting a partial data group included in a second data set, and a second distance corresponding to a distance between the second data subset and the second data set. An information generation means calculates a third distance corresponding to a distance between the first data subset and the second data subset, and to generate an estimation distance information which is information capable of estimating a fourth distance corresponding to a distance between the first data set and the second data set based on the first distance, the second distance, and the third distance.

Abstract: A machining direction determination unit determines a machining direction, i.e., whether to orient a product in a first direction along a material axis or a second direction opposite to the first direction, on the basis of constraint condition data indicating constraint conditions of front machining (first machining) and/or back machining (second machining), and product data. A time estimate output unit calculates a first time estimate required for the front machining and a second time estimate required for the back machining in accordance with the machining direction on the basis of machining condition data indicating machining conditions (including a machining speed) corresponding to tools used respectively for the front machining and the back machining, as well as material data and the product data, and outputs an estimate of a time required to manufacture the product on the basis of the first time estimate and the second time estimate.
