  • Publication number: 20220203455
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus, method, and reference sample for searching for molding conditions of an additive manufacturing apparatus based on a powder bed fusion method, and provides a search apparatus, a search method, and a reference sample that are remarkably more efficient and accurate than conventional counterparts. The reference sample for searching for the molding conditions is shaped so that it has a surface having aggregated punched holes formed by straight lines and curved lines involved in a fill region of a molding region (in-skin), a region for forming an overhang (down-skin), and a region for forming an outermost surface in the direction of molding height (up-skin). Slice data of the reference sample has at least two independent regions in an optional layer at a center in a lamination direction, and includes a small region and a large region. The small region has a width of 1 mm or less and is cut off from the outer edge of the reference sample.

  • Patent number: 11189470
    Abstract: The efficiency of operation in a semiconductor processing apparatus is improved. In order to search an input parameter value to be set in a semiconductor processing apparatus for processing into a target processed shape, a predictive model indicating a relationship between an input parameter value and an output parameter value is generated based on the input parameter value and the output parameter value which is a measured value of a processing result processed by setting the input parameter value in the semiconductor processing apparatus. In this case, when the measured value of the processing result processed by the semiconductor processing apparatus is the defective data, the predictive model is generated based on the input parameter value causing defective data and defective substitute data obtained by substituting the measured value which is the defective data.
