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.

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.

Abstract: In a region determination device and method, when a set target contour is an island contour representing an outer profile of a three-dimensional printing object, it is determined whether a closest enclosing contour Lmin enclosing the target contour at a closest position thereto has been set for the slice model or not. When closest enclosing contour Lmin is determined to have been set, it is determined whether the closest enclosing contour Lmin is an island contour or not. When the closest enclosing contour Lmin is determined to be an island contour, the target contour is deleted from the slice model. Then, the region of the post-deletion slice model is divided into a printing region and a non-printing region.

Abstract: In a region determination device and method, when an island contour of a slice model crosses a scanning line in a first direction, the value of an internal level n is increased by a predetermined value. When the island contour crosses the scanning line in a second direction different the first direction, the value of the internal level n is decreased by the predetermined value. When a hole contour of the slice model crosses the scanning line in the second direction, the value of the internal level n is assigned to a temporary retain variable m and “0” is substituted for the internal level n. When the hole contour crosses the scanning line in the first direction, the value of the temporary retain variable m is assigned back to the internal level n. A region corresponding to a value of the internal level n, set as above, that is not 0 is determined to be a printing region, and a region corresponding to the value of the internal level n that is 0 is determined to be a non-printing region.

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 linear mark extending perpendicular to a primary step direction of stepped terrace for a three-dimensional memory device can be employed as a reference feature for aligning a trimming material layer before initiating an etch-and-trim process sequence. The linear mark can be formed as a linear trench or a linear rail structure. The distance between a sidewall of each trimming material layer and the linear mark can be measured at multiple locations that are laterally spaced apart perpendicular to the primary step direction to provide statistically significant data points, which can be employed to provide an enhanced control of the staircase patterning process. Likewise, locations of patterned stepped surfaces can be measured at multiple locations to provide enhanced control of the locations of vertical steps in the stepped terrace.
