Abstract
An information processing method of designing a mold for molding a molded product, the method includes a processing of receiving data including a molded product area indicating a three-dimensional shape of the molded product, and a non-molded product area indicating a three-dimensional shape of a non-molded product space enclosing the molded product, and a processing of extracting, from the non-molded product area, a three-dimensional space that becomes an undercut portion in a state where a first mold and a second mold forming the molded product are opened.
Claims28
An information processing method of designing a mold for molding a molded product, the method comprising:
- a processing of receiving data including a molded product area indicating a three-dimensional shape of the molded product, and a non-molded product area indicating a three-dimensional shape of a non-molded product space enclosing the molded product;
- and
- a processing of extracting, from the non-molded product area, a three-dimensional space that becomes an undercut portion in a state where a first mold and a second mold forming the molded product are opened.
An information processing method comprising:
- a processing of extracting a plurality of undercut portions becoming an undercut when opening a first mold and a second mold to form a molded product;
- a processing of setting, for each of the plurality of undercut portions, a sliding direction of a slide mold arranged in the undercut portion;
- a processing of extracting, among the plurality of undercut portions, at least two undercut portions in which a single slide mold is arranged;
- and
- a processing of extracting a surface that may be molded by the single slide mold and that includes an area that does not adjoin any one of the plurality of undercut portions.
