Patent ID: 8121717

Claim:
A three-dimensional processing data setting system for setting three-dimensional processing data for driving a laser marking device to process a three-dimensional work surface in a specified processing pattern with a laser beam focused in a specified direction on the three-dimensional work surface, said three-dimensional processing data setting system comprising: pattern information input means for inputting pattern information representing a processing pattern in which a three-dimensional work surface is processed and a two-dimensional position for display of said processing pattern; two-dimensional display means for displaying thereon said processing pattern in two-dimensions at said two-dimensional position based on said pattern information; position adjusting means for adjusting said processing pattern in a desired two-dimensional coordinate position on said two-dimensional display means; profile information input means for inputting profile information representing at least a three-dimensional profile of the three-dimensional work surface for processing, said three-dimensional profile being selected from a plurality of predetermined different profiles of the three-dimensional work surface; coordinate data conversion means for converting coordinate data of said processing pattern from two-dimensional plane coordinate data to three-dimensional space coordinate data so as to match said processing pattern represented by said pattern information with said three-dimensional work surface represented by said profile information in said two-dimensional coordinate position; and three-dimensional display means for displaying thereon in three dimensions said three-dimensional work surface represented by said profile information and said processing pattern represented by said three-dimensional space coordinate data.
