  • Patent number: 10584798
    Abstract: In a seat component received in a receiving region of a first body of a body, one surface of a contacting portion and one surface of an engaging portion are planar and are flush with each other, and the other surface of the contacting portion and the other surface of the engaging portion are planar and are flush with each other. The engaging portion engages two portions of the first body, which form one opening of the receiving region, in a state where a distal end of the seat component reaches another opening of the receiving region. Furthermore, in the state where the engaging portion engages the portions of the first body, a second body of the body covers the one opening and contacts the engaging portion. Thereby, the engaging portion engages the three portions of the body, so that movement of the seat component is effectively limited.

    Abstract: A desired whole slice image corresponding to a whole object is created in a slice image creation device, in which a synthesis processor overlaps a target slice image created by a target slice image creation processor and a support slice image created by a support slice image creation processor. The synthesis processor determines a portion of the overlap region corresponding to a target printing region of the target slice image and/or a support printing region of the support slice image as a whole printing region to be printed, and determines a portion of the overlap region corresponding to both of a target non-printing region of the target slice image and a support non-printing region of the support slice image as a whole non-printing region not to be printed. The synthesis processor colors the whole printing region and the whole non-printing region with different colors to create the whole slice image.

  • Patent number: 10169494
    Abstract: In a slice image creation device, a topology construction processor constructs a topology to create a topology list of a target object model. A division determination processor determines whether or not there is a ridgeline or an apex at which the target object model is divisible in correspondence with topology groups. A division processor, in a case that, for example, there is a ridgeline that is in contact with 4 planes, divides the target object model into at least a first divided object model and a second divided object model along the ridgeline that is in contact with 4 planes. A slice image creation processor creates a first divided slice image and a second divided slice image respectively corresponding to the first divided object model and the second divided object model. A synthesis processor synthesizes the first divided slice image and the second divided slice image to create a target slice image.
