  • Patent number: 11250174
    Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for forming a prescribed three-dimensional shape from a material member having a prescribed thickness. A CAD device creates a mold for cutting out at least one component for forming a prescribed three-dimensional shape from a material member. A developed view generation unit creates a developed view or an isolated plan view of the prescribed three-dimensional shape. On the basis of the developed view or the isolated plan view, a mold creation unit creates a mold for a component having a fitting part for fitting with an other, adjacent component. A cut-out order determination unit attaches a symbol indicating the cut-out order to each component or to each of a plurality of isolated elements in the component.

  • Patent number: 10674216
    Abstract: A graphical user interface is disclosed which achieves an easy search for a desired item. When an operation inputting section accepts a selective operation input for selection of one of plural processing functions, plural representation images individually representing plural processing object items of the processing function are displayed in an array along one direction of a display screen such that one of the representation images can be selected as a noticed representation image by an inputting operation through the operation inputting section. A decision section decides whether or not plural processing object items of the selected processing function are divided in a plurality of groups. If the processing object items are divided in groups, then the group name of the group to which the processing object item of the noticed representation image belongs is displayed in the proximity of the noticed representation image.

  • Publication number: 20190168327
    Abstract: A method for producing a turbine blade includes performing brazing treatment, performing annealing, and subjecting a base material to solutionizing treatment. In the brazing treatment, a brazing material is welded to be joined to the base material of a turbine blade by operating a heater to perform heating at a first temperature under a state in which the base material having the brazing material arranged thereon is placed in a predetermined heating furnace including the heater. In annealing, the base material is cooled by stopping the heater and lowering a furnace internal temperature after the brazing treatment. In the solutionizing treatment, ductility of the base material is improved through heating at a second temperature lower than the first temperature after the annealing.
