1Manufacturing precision
If a die model is formed by manually cutting a plaster model, then the process is simple, but the precision and user convenience are low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical cutting process with an automated digital processing system. The processor automatically determines the die insertion direction by analyzing scan data and generates the die model accordingly, eliminating the need for manual cutting operations while significantly improving both precision and user convenience
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically calculating the die insertion direction and generating the die model without requiring manual intervention. The processor autonomously processes the scan data and produces the final die model, making the process both precise and convenient
2Manufacturing precision
If a die model is formed by manually cutting a plaster model, then the process is straightforward, but the precision is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces simple manual cutting with an automated digital processing system that uses a processor to analyze scan data and automatically determine the die insertion direction. This substitution of mechanical processes with computational methods achieves high precision while managing complexity through software-based solutions
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the approach from physical manual cutting parameters to digital computational parameters. The processor analyzes geometric parameters from scan data and determines the optimal die insertion direction based on calculated parameters, achieving precision through mathematical computation rather than manual skill
3Extent of automation
