A lapboard siding and trim system is provided in which trim siding components for board-and-batten siding and associated trim components are manufactured using a co-extrusion process, whereby wood/thermoplastic resin composite material and polyvinyl chloride thermoplastic resins are co-extruded through a single die assembly, thereby producing a trim piece having a plastic composite component, that will be visible following installation, fused under heat and pressure to the polyvinyl chloride standoff and attachment fins, that will be hidden following installation. Also provided is a lapboard siding and trim system in which siding components for clapboard siding are manufactured by extruding wood/thermoplastic resin composite material through a die. Associated trim components are manufactured using the co-extrusion process described above. The siding and trim components are completely waterproof, and installation proceeds with almost no face nailing and almost no caulk. |

A foil transfer device, a foil transfer method, and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute first, second and third processes. In the first process, an acute angle portion included in a contour of a predetermined shape is specified. In the second process, an approximation curve along a contour of the acute angle portion specified in the first process and is located inside the predetermined shape is obtained. In the third process, movement route data for the acute angle portion is created along the approximation curve obtained in the second process. The movement route data is usable for, for example, control of moving a heater of the foil transfer device. |
