DESIGNING METHOD OF A GLASS-PLATE-AIMED BENDING MOLD MAKING USE OF A 3-DIMENSIONAL CAD APPLICATION FOR SOLID MODELS

摘要

The present invention aims at providing a method for designing a glass-plate-aimed bending mold making use of a 3-dimensional CAD application for solidmodels, in a short time with simple operations, by utilizing a previouslydesigned solid model. To this end, there is modified a ring frame of a solidmodel of a mold stored in an existing-solid-model storing part, such that thering frame conforms to the shape of a new glass plate, by glass shapereplacing means. By using modified parameter reflecting means, themodification of the modifiable parameters inherited from the existing solid-model is reflected to the modified solid model, to thereby optimize themodifiable parameters of a new solid model.
