Three-dimensional modeling apparatus, modeling material discharge member, and modeling material transfer method

摘要

A three-dimensional modeling apparatus models a three-dimensional model with a modeling material discharged into a processing space by a discharging unit, using a modeling material discharging member. The modeling material discharging member includes an entrance 13b from which the modeling material, such as filament 40, is loaded, the discharging unit that discharges the modeling material, through holes 12a, 13a serving as a transport channel through which the modeling material loaded from the entrance 13b is transported to the discharging unit, and a head heating unit 12 that heats the modeling material in the transport channel. The modeling material discharging member includes a cooling unit 13 that is provided adjacently to the transport channel between the entrance 13b and the head heating unit 12. A coolant path is formed inside the cooling unit 13. The three-dimensional modeling apparatus further includes a coolant supplying unit that supplies coolant into the coolant path.
