Abstract: A printing pattern creation device includes an input to which information regarding a type of ink to be used to perform printing on a printing target, and information regarding the surface on which the printing is to be performed, are to be provided; a storage having stored thereon a plurality of predefined printing modes each to be executed as one printing process; a main creator to select one or at least two printing modes among the plurality of printing modes based on the information supplied to the input, and to arrange the selected printing modes in the order of execution, to create a printing pattern; and an output to output the created printing pattern to a recording device.

Abstract: A web catalog generator generates a web catalog including content to be presented on a customer terminal. The web catalog generator includes a memory, an input receiver, and a main generator. The memory stores at least one template file that specifies the content and a presentation position where the content is to be presented. The template file includes at least one template. The input receiver receives content information that is information on the content. The main generator replaces content information already included in the template file with the content information received by the input receiver, and causes the memory to store the template file including the content information received by the input receiver.

Abstract: A candidate point selection processor selects, as candidate points, vertices on an outline. A search point selection processor selects, from the candidate points, a reference search point to be used to search for a point that serves as a cutting line endpoint. A reference line setting processor sets a reference line connecting a reference point with the search point. A candidate line setting processor sets candidate lines connecting the search point with the candidate points other than the search point. A candidate line selection processor selects, as a selected candidate line, the candidate line located only within a non-effective region. An angle calculation processor calculates an angle between the reference line and the selected candidate line. A cutting line setting processor sets a cutting line connecting the search point with the candidate point of the selected candidate line defining an angle with the reference line that is the smallest angle calculated.

Abstract: A positioning apparatus includes a cutting line setting processor to set a cutting line to extend in a predetermined direction from a first endpoint on an outline of a target object located on a top sheet and to be located within a non-effective region, a first determination processor to determine whether a first angle between the outline of the target object and the cutting line, with the first endpoint located at an intersection of the outline and the cutting line, is equal to or smaller than a predetermined determination angle that is an acute angle, and a shape change processor to, when the first angle is determined to be equal to or smaller than the determination angle by the first determination processor, change the shape of the cutting line such that the first angle is greater than the determination angle.

Abstract: A printing information management device includes a model storage that stores a plurality of product models each included in one file linked with information on a printing target and printing setting information used to control a recording device, a model selector that selects one product model from the plurality of product models, and an output that provides the printing setting information included in the selected product model to the recording device.

Abstract: A three-dimensional printing device includes a base, a holder disposed above the base, a printing head fixed on the holder and including a nozzle configured to discharge a resin material, a stage disposed in the base below the printing head configured to hold the resin material discharged from the nozzle, and a stage moving mechanism configured to move the stage with five or more degrees of freedom.

Abstract: A three-dimensional processing device includes a printing head that discharges a resin material based on three-dimensional data of a three-dimensional object, a scan head that measures a surface shape of the three-dimensional object printed with the resin material, a processing head that processes a surface of the printed three-dimensional object, and a controller that includes a printing head controller that controls the printing head, a scan head controller that controls the scan head, a specifier that specifies an extra portion, which is a difference between the measured surface shape of the three-dimensional object and a surface shape of a three-dimensional object theoretically printed based on the three-dimensional data, and a processing head controller that controls the processing head such that the processing head cuts the extra portion.
