Abstract: A device management apparatus is connectable to devices of many types. A first device-name-creation section creates symbols indicative of drivers corresponding to connected devices as device names of the connected devices. A second device-name-creation section adds symbols each indicative of a connection method with the device management apparatus to the symbols created by the first device-name-creation section. A first determination section determines whether or not there is a duplicate symbol among the symbols created by the second device-name-creation section. A third device-name-creation section adds identification symbols to the symbols each being determined to be the duplicate symbol by the first determination section.

Abstract: A sliced model generating apparatus includes a storage, a generator, an information adder, a converter, an area setter, and a color adder. The storage stores a three-dimensional model that includes attribute information including at least color information. The generator generates a contour polyline including a plurality of line segments. The information adder associates the line segments with the attribute information of the three-dimensional model. The converter converts the contour polyline whose line segments are associated with the attribute information into an image coordinate system. The area setter sets, in a region surrounded by the contour polyline converted into the image coordinate system, each of areas targeted for coloring adjacent to a corresponding one of the line segments. The color adder colors each of the areas targeted for coloring with a color based on the attribute information associated with a corresponding one of the line segments, thus generating a sliced model.
