Abstract (en)

The invention relates to integrated systems and corresponding computer interfaces and parts of such systems for manipulating 3D physical objects, such manipulating including (as part of pre-processing) orientating or positioning, (post-) processing of objects as part of a treatment of said objects, and in particular relates to devices such as holders, for use with such systems, the related methods and software (and related data structures) for use with and/or embedded in such systems to realize such methods. The invention provides for means and approaches for handling complex manipulation steps by enabling use of viewing methods suited therefore while providing an integrated approach wherein identification of holders whereon objects are fixed on gets combined with position data, exchanged to avoid human errors.
