Abstract
A process and device for simulating a product printed by a virtual press. The process implemented by the device includes creation of a three-dimensional object page, selection of at least one fold among a set of predetermined folds, with the selected folds corresponding to the folds produced on the product to be simulated, for each fold produced and selected, a modification of the three-dimensional object page by the addition of at least one fold line at a given position on the three-dimensional object page, construction of the simulated product starting from the modified three-dimensional object page, and a display of the simulated product constructed in this manner.
Claims19
A process for simulating a product printed by a press, the process comprising:
- creating a three-dimensional simulation of a page;
- selecting at least one fold among a set of predetermined folds, the selected folds corresponding to folds produced on the product to be simulated;
- for each of the selected folds, modifying the three-dimensional simulation by the addition of at least one fold line at a given position on the three-dimensional simulation,
- constructing a simulated product starting from the modified three-dimensional simulation, and
- displaying the simulated product on a display device.
A device for simulating a product printed by a press, comprising:
- a press console for controlling the press,
- a processor configured to simulate the press, the processor configured to create a three-dimensional simulation of a page,
- select at least one fold among a set of predetermined folds, with the selected folds corresponding to the folds produced by the press on the product to be simulated, and
- modify the three-dimensional simulation by adding at least one fold line at a given position on the three-dimensional simulation for each fold produced and selected, and
- construct a simulated product from the modified three-dimensional simulation, and
- a display device that displays the simulated product.
A device for simulating a product printed by a press, comprising:
- a press console to control the press, and
- means for simulating the press comprising:
- means for creating a three-dimensional simulation of an object page,
- means for selecting at least one fold among a set of predetermined folds, with the selected folds corresponding to the folds produced by the press on the product to be simulated, and
- means for modifying the three-dimensional simulation of the object page by adding at least one fold line at a given position on the three-dimensional simulation of the object page for each fold produced and selected,
- means for constructing a simulated product from the modified three-dimensional simulation of the object page, and
- means for displaying the simulated product.
