Patent number: 7024264Abstract: The present invention aims at providing a method for designing a glass-plate-aimed bending mold making use of a 3-dimensional CAD application for solid models, in a short time with simple operations, by utilizing a previously designed solid model. To this end, there is modified a ring frame of a solid model of a mold stored in an existing-solid-model storing part, such that the ring frame conforms to the shape of a new glass plate, by glass shape replacing means. By using modified parameter reflecting means, the modification of the modifiable parameters inherited from the existing solid-model is reflected to the modified solid model, to thereby optimize the modifiable parameters of a new solid model.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2002Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Nippon Sheet Glass Company, LimitedInventors: Yoshimitsu Matsushita, Chie Sugishita, Koichi Tsujiuchi, Mitsuo Tanaka
