(Outline of FAV format)
As the three-dimensional modeling information (modeling format data) for modeling the three-dimensional modeled object, voxel data stored in the FAV (fabricatable voxel) format is preferable.

The FAV format retains not only the external shape of the 3D model data, but also various attributes such as the internal structure, materials used, and joint strength. Regardless of the appearance and inside of the 3D model data, it is possible to design thoroughly, precisely and precisely in every corner as the designer expected, and it is guaranteed that it can be saved as data.

The FAV format is constructed based on voxel data.

A voxel is a three-dimensional pixel value. An object is formed by three-dimensionally arranging voxels, which are three-dimensional pixel values, so as to form an image by arranging pixels, which are two-dimensional pixel values, in a plane.

That is, the FAV format is three-dimensional model data having the following conditions.

(Condition 1) Information necessary for manufacturing such as shape, material, color, joint strength, etc. is clearly defined for each three-dimensional position regardless of the outside or inside of the three-dimensional model data.

(Condition 2) Design (CAD), analysis (CAE), and inspection (CAT) of 3D model data can be performed in a unified and bidirectional manner without data conversion.

Since the FAV format can have material information, it is easy to select a modeling method.

Here, in the present embodiment, sensory information for expressing through five senses (either taste, hearing, smell, or touch) other than vision is provided as a modeling capable of fully utilizing the features of the FAV format. Using it, we established a three-dimensional model that can be distinguished visually.

In the present embodiment, taste is taken as an example as a type of five senses other than vision, and as sensory information expressing taste, information on the presence or absence of sweetness, acidity, umami, bitterness, and saltiness, and the strength of sensory information of each taste are shown. Numerical information is expressed visually, that is, by color and density.

FAV data is basically voxel data, and by utilizing the fact that it can be defined as voxel data of not only the surface layer but also the internal state, sensory information related to taste (presence / absence information and numerical information described above) is incorporated into the definition. There is.

Therefore, when modeling a three-dimensional modeled object, if a target cross section is cut out after modeling, the state of taste divided by color and density can be visually recognized. When expressing a specific taste, by modeling the voxel data in which the specific taste does not exist with a transparent material, the internal taste distribution state can be grasped without breaking.

(Visual expression conversion function of sensory information in the modeling control device 10)
FIG. 2 shows the visually distinguishable modeling control using the sensory information for expressing through the five senses (either taste, hearing, smell, or touch) other than the visual sense, which is executed in the modeling control device 10. A block diagram for doing so is shown. It should be noted that each block of FIG. 2 is specialized for modeling control based on the sensory information of the modeling control device 10, and is classified by function, and does not limit the hardware configuration of the modeling control device 10.

The reception unit 74 receives, as voxel data represented by FAV data, three-dimensional modeling information in which sensory information of the five senses other than vision is defined, and instruction information including modeling condition information.

The reception unit 74 is connected to the extraction unit 76 and sends out the received instruction information.

The extraction unit 76 analyzes the instruction information and extracts the three-dimensional modeling information and the modeling condition information. The three-dimensional modeling information is information for normal three-dimensional modeling, and the modeling condition information is information indicating whether the normal modeling is modeling specialized for the five senses (here, taste).

In addition, "normally three-dimensional modeling" means, for example, modeling a modeled object that is similar to the original model, or a three-dimensional modeled object that is expressed based on a design image, photograph, or the like. .. It also includes duplicating the modeled three-dimensional model.

The modeling information is sent to the temporary storage unit 78 and temporarily stored.

The modeling conditions are sent to the determination unit 80. The determination unit 80 determines whether it is a normal model or a model that expresses the five senses other than the visual sense.

The determination unit 80 is connected to the modeling instruction unit 82 and the sensory information reading unit 84.

When the determination result of the determination unit 80 is normal modeling, the modeling instruction unit 82 is notified that it is normal modeling.

Further, when the determination result of the determination unit 80 is the five senses expression, the sensory information reading unit 84 is notified that the determination result is the five senses expression.

The sensory information reading unit 84 reads the sensory information from the modeling condition information and sends it to the color conversion unit 86.

The color conversion unit 86 takes in the three-dimensional modeling information stored in the temporary storage unit 78 and executes the color conversion process based on the sensory information. That is, in the case of FAV data, the color definition of each voxel data is converted by taste.

The color conversion unit 86 is connected to the modeling instruction unit 82. The color conversion unit 86 sends the color-converted three-dimensional modeling information to the modeling instruction unit 82.

The modeling instruction unit 82 receives three-dimensional modeling information from the temporary storage unit 78 in the case of normal modeling, and receives three-dimensional modeling information from the color conversion unit 86 in the case of five-sense expression modeling.

The modeling instruction unit 82 is connected to the three-dimensional modeling device 46 via the I / F 42, and controls the three-dimensional modeling device 46 based on the received three-dimensional modeling information to perform three-dimensional modeling (normal or five senses). Expression) is instructed.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In step 100, it is determined whether or not the modeling instruction (instruction information) has been accepted, and if a negative determination is made, this routine ends.

If an affirmative decision is made in step 100, the process proceeds to step 102, three-dimensional modeling information (here, voxel data) and modeling condition information are extracted, and the process proceeds to step 104.

In step 104, the three-dimensional modeling information is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 78 (see FIG. 2), and the process proceeds to step 106.

In step 106, it is determined whether or not the received modeling instruction is normal modeling.

If an affirmative determination is made in step 106, the process proceeds to step 108, the three-dimensional modeling information is read from the temporary storage unit 78, and the process proceeds to step 116.

If a negative determination is made in step 106, the process proceeds to step 110, the sensory information (color, density) of the expression target (five senses other than vision) is read from the modeling information, and then the process proceeds to step 112. The three-dimensional modeling information is read from the temporary storage unit 78, and the process proceeds to step 114.

In step 114, color (or density) information is read from the three-dimensional image information and converted into color (or density) information based on the sensory information. For example, when the type of the five senses is taste, the intensity of each of the sweetness, acidity, umami, bitterness, and saltiness expressing the taste is expressed by color or concentration (see details later in FIGS. 5 and 6), and the process proceeds to step 116. Transition.

In step 116, the three-dimensional modeling device 46 (see FIG. 2) is instructed to perform three-dimensional modeling. In the case of normal modeling, this instruction instructs three-dimensional modeling based on the three-dimensional modeling information read out in step 108, and in the case of modeling of the five senses, the three-dimensional modeling information converted in step 114. Instruct three-dimensional modeling based on.
