Abstract: An expansion device includes: a thermal distension unit configured to thermally distend a thermally-expandable sheet by irradiating the thermally-expandable sheet with predetermined energy; a reading unit configured to read identifiers provided at predetermined positions of the thermally-expandable sheet; and a setting unit configured to set an amount of energy per unit area to be emitted on the thermally-expandable sheet by the thermal distension unit depending on whether (i) a second identifier as well as a first identifier has been read, or (ii) whether a predetermined part of the first identifier has been read but another part has not been read, as a result of reading the identifiers by the reading unit.

Abstract: A three-dimensional image data reviewing device includes a processor that obtains first distension data for causing a thermally distensible layer of a thermally distensible sheet to distend from one of a front surface and a rear surface of the thermally distensible sheet and that obtains second distension data for causing the thermally distensible layer to distend from another of the front surface and the rear surface, a display unit connected to the processor, wherein the processor causes the display unit to display, on a preview screen, an appearance of the thermally distensible sheet after the thermally distensible layer is caused to distend in accordance with the first distension data and the second distension data, the processor also causing the display unit to identifiably display, in a prescribed manner, an abnormal region of the thermally distensible layer where the thermally distensible layer is predicted to distend abnormally.

Abstract: A print data creation device creates, from two-dimensional image data, three-dimensional print data to be printed on a thermally distensible sheet. The device includes a processor programmed to receive the two-dimensional image data of prescribed gradations; divide the two-dimensional image data of prescribed gradations into a plurality of density layers that expand to different respective expansion heights when printed on the thermally distensible sheet; create, from the plurality of density layers, an expansion data set having a plurality of layer images to be printed on the thermally distensible sheet; and causes the expansion data set to be output to a printing unit that prints on the thermally distensible sheet.
