Solution Overview
Problem
It is challenging to visually compare design drawings, inspection results, and three-dimensional models of molded products to grasp the finished state, especially when multiple measurement spots and standards interact with each other.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that displays the positional relationship of multiple measurement spots on a three-dimensional model using relationship objects, such as three-dimensional lines, spheres, and arrows, allowing for visual representation of inspection results and deviations from design standards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple measurement spots and inspection results are displayed separately in tables or two-dimensional views, then detailed inspection data can be recorded and analyzed, but it becomes complicated to visually compare design drawings, inspection results, and three-dimensional models to grasp the finished state of the molded product
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms two-dimensional inspection data and design drawings into a three-dimensional coordinate system that overlays directly onto the molded product model. Measurement spots, inspection results, and design specifications are all represented in 3D space with coordinates (x, y, z), allowing users to visually compare multiple data types at the same spatial location without switching between separate tables or views.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines design drawings, inspection results, measurement spots, and three-dimensional models into a single integrated display. By using relationship objects to connect these elements in 3D space and showing them together on one screen, the system eliminates the need to separately view design drawings and inspection tables, enabling comprehensive visual comparison in one unified interface.
2Measurement precision
If inspection results for multiple measurement spots are analyzed individually, then detailed analysis of each spot is possible, but it is extremely difficult to grasp at a glance the relationship between the plurality of measurement spots in the molded product
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds spatial dimensionality to the display by showing measurement spots at their actual three-dimensional positions on the molded product model. Relationship objects connect these spots in 3D space, preserving and visualizing the spatial relationships between measurement locations while maintaining the ability to analyze individual spot data through interactive selection and detailed view options.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces relationship objects as intermediaries that connect measurement spots and visually represent their relationships. These relationship objects serve as mediators that link individual measurement spots to the overall product structure, enabling users to understand both individual spot characteristics and their relationships to other spots and product features simultaneously.
3Loss of information
If design drawings and inspection results are compared using traditional two-dimensional methods, then detailed data analysis is possible, but it is complicated to grasp the finished state of the molded product and the positional relationships between features
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional drawing comparisons to three-dimensional visual representation by displaying measurement spots, design features, and inspection results directly on the 3D molded product model. This allows users to grasp spatial configuration and finished state while maintaining access to detailed inspection data through the 3D interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a digital 3D copy of the molded product that integrates all inspection data and design information. This virtual replica allows users to examine the finished state and spatial relationships without physical prototypes, while preserving complete inspection data within the 3D model for detailed analysis when needed.
