Repair system, repair-data providing apparatus and repair-data generation method

A repair-data providing apparatus for providing 3D-object repair data for repairing a damaged part of an object to be repaired, the repair-data providing apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory,
• wherein the processor is configured to perform:
• a damaged-part determining operation to determine a location of the damaged part of the object to be repaired by comparing 3D-object data obtained by 3D-scanning the object to be repaired and 3D-object data of an original of the object to be repaired;
• a mode selecting operation to select a repair mode from among a first repair mode of repairing only the damaged part of the object to be repaired and a second repair mode of repairing a range broader than the damaged part of the object to be repaired, the range including the damaged part, in accordance with a condition of a damaged surface of the object to be repaired;
• and
• a repair-data generating operation to generate the 3D-object repair data corresponding to the repair mode selected by the mode selecting operation.

A method of generating repair data for generating 3D-object repair data for repairing a damaged part of an object to be repaired with a 3D-object repair apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, the method comprising:

• a damaged-part specifying step of specifying, with the processor, the damaged part of the object to be repaired by comparing 3D-object data obtained by 3D-scanning the object to be repaired and 3D-object data of an original of the object to be repaired;
• a selecting step of selecting, with the processor, a repair mode from among a first repair mode of repairing only the damaged part of the object to be repaired and a second repair mode of repairing a range broader than the damaged part of the object to be repaired, the range including the damaged part, in accordance with a condition of a damaged surface of the object to be repaired;
• and
• a generating step of generating, with the processor, the 3D-object repair data corresponding to the repair mode selected in the selecting step.
