INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, STORAGE DEVICE, AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL SHAPING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18507174 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, STORAGE DEVICE, AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL SHAPING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an information processing system that controls three-dimensional shaping devices to shape a three-dimensional object. It includes units for acquiring information related to shaping plates, three-dimensional shaping devices, and underlayers, which are then stored and associated with each other by a control unit.

  • Explanation of the patent/innovation:
   * The system controls devices to shape three-dimensional objects.
   * It acquires and stores information related to shaping plates, shaping devices, and underlayers.
   * The information is associated with each other for efficient processing.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in industries such as manufacturing, prototyping, and product design where precise three-dimensional shaping is required.

Problems Solved

1. Streamlining the process of shaping three-dimensional objects by storing and associating relevant information. 2. Enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of shaping operations by controlling multiple shaping devices.

Benefits

1. Improved precision in shaping three-dimensional objects. 2. Increased efficiency in the shaping process. 3. Enhanced control over shaping devices and materials.

Potential Commercial Applications

      1. Optimizing Three-Dimensional Shaping Processes in Manufacturing

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to information processing systems for controlling shaping devices and storing associated information, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

      1. Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle different types of shaping plates and underlayers?

The abstract does not specify how the system distinguishes between various types of shaping plates and underlayers, or how it adapts to different materials and shapes.

What is the level of automation in the control of the shaping devices?

The abstract does not detail the extent to which the system automates the control of the shaping devices, such as whether it includes manual intervention or operates autonomously.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing system includes information processing devices configured to control three-dimensional shaping devices configured to shape a three-dimensional shaped object, a first acquisition unit configured to acquire first shaping plate identification information for identifying a first shaping plate, the first shaping plate having an upper surface on which the three-dimensional shaped object is to be shaped and being attachable to a stage of a first three-dimensional shaping device among the three-dimensional shaping devices, a second acquisition unit configured to acquire first three-dimensional shaping device identification information for identifying the first three-dimensional shaping device, a third acquisition unit configured to acquire first-underlayer-related information related to a first underlayer to be shaped on the first shaping plate; and a control unit. The control unit stores the first shaping plate identification information, the first three-dimensional shaping device identification information, and the first-underlayer-related information in association with one another.
