  • Patent number: 11642834
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for manufacturing a colored product, where using inkjet heads which are a plurality of color ink heads, and an inkjet head, which is a colorless ink head, a plurality of coloring regions are formed in an overlapping manner in a normal direction, a surface side colored region, which is a region located closest to the surface of the colored product is formed using at least the color ink ejected from any of the inkjet heads, and an inner colored region, which is a region located farther from the surface of the colored product than the surface side colored region is formed using at least the color ink ejected from any of the inkjet heads and the colorless ink ejected from the inkjet head.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11573538
    Abstract: A layer configuration prediction method is provided and includes: a specimen production step of producing multiple specimens by depositing layers of a material in configurations different from each other; a specimen measurement step of performing, on each specimen, measurement to acquire a texture parameter corresponding to a texture; a learning step of causing a computer to perform machine learning of a relation between each of the specimens and the texture parameter; a setting parameter calculation step of calculating a setting parameter corresponding to the texture set to a computer graphics image; and a layer configuration acquisition step of providing the setting parameter as an input to the computer having been caused to perform the machine learning, and acquiring an output representing the layering pattern of layers of the material corresponding to the setting parameter.
