Abstract
A process for producing a shaped material can be designed in parallel to product designing, thereby reducing a period between initiation of product designing and completion of design of the process for producing the shaped material. A shaped material production process designing device () comprises a CPU () which includes a design record retrieving section () for retrieving a past design record from a design record database (). Of the past process for producing the shaped material, design data of a standard portion independent from a shape of the product is acquired by a standard portion design data acquiring section (). A shape dependent portion designing section () designs the shaped material production process that depends on the shape of the product. The CPU further includes a process design data editing section () for editing the design data of the standard portion and a design result of the shape dependent portion.
