Abstract:
1. A system for creating three-dimensional shape data of a printed board, comprising: first storage means storing printed board three-dimensional simple shape data, each of the printed board three-dimensional simple shape data showing a three-dimensional simple shape of the printed board; second storage means storing electronic component three-dimensional detail shape data, each of the electronic component three-dimensional detail shape data showing a detailed perspective view of a three-dimensional detail shape of the electronic component; third storage means storing wiring data, the wiring data showing a two-dimensional wiring pattern shape and a two-dimensional via/land shape of the printed board; and generation means reading out the printed board three-dimensional simple shape data stored in said first storage means, the electronic component three dimensional detail shape data stored in said second storage means, and the wiring data stored in said third storage means, said generation means generating printed board three-dimensional detail shape data showing a three-dimensional detail shape of the printed board, where the two-dimensional wiring pattern shape and the two-dimensional via/land shape are three-dimensionalized by the generation means, the three-dimensionalized wiring pattern shape and the three-dimensionalized via/land shape being synthesized with a three-dimensional shape of the printed board, in which the electronic component shape constituting the three-dimensional simple shape of the printed board that the printed board three-dimensional simple shape data shows is replaced by the electronic component shape that the electronic component three dimensional detail data shows.
