Object forming method, object forming apparatus, and nonvolatile computer-readable recording medium on which program is stored

摘要

An object forming method executed by at least one processing unit for forming a three-dimensional shape on a surface of a material, the method including: generating height information specifying a height of the three-dimensional shape, so that the height of the three-dimensional shape in a protection area surrounding a symbol area subjected to symbols on the surface of the material is higher than the height of the three-dimensional shape in the symbol area on the surface of the material, the material is subjected to a design including the symbols on the surface; and forming the three-dimensional shape on the surface of the material based on the generated height information.

1. An object forming method executed by a processor-controlled apparatus, having at least one processing unit for forming a three-dimensional object on a surface of a material, the method comprising:
obtaining height information specifying a height of the three-dimensional object on the surface of the material, wherein the three-dimensional object has (i) a design area that includes printed symbols in a symbol area, and (ii) a non-symbol protection area surrounding the symbols; and forming the three-dimensional object based on said obtained height information, wherein the height of the three-dimensional object in said protection area is higher than in said symbol area.
