METHOD FOR PRODUCING STEREOSCOPICALLY SHAPED ARTICLE, THE STEREOSCOPICALLY SHAPED ARTICLE, AND STEREOSCOPICALLY SHAPING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a stereoscopically shaped article, by which the stereoscopically shaped article can be shaped to a desired shape by using an inkjet head and to provide the stereoscopically shaped article and a stereoscopically shaping apparatus.;SOLUTION: In the stereoscopically shaping apparatus, stereoscopically shaping powder containing a water-soluble polymer is fed onto a placing belt (S2). In the stereoscopically shaping apparatus, shaping liquid is ejected to the stereoscopically shaping powder from the inkjet head to produce a layer which includes a material produced by dissolving the stereoscopically shaping powder in the shaping liquid (S3). Lamination of the layers forms the stereoscopically shaped article of the desired shape. The shaping liquid contains a surfactant and a thickening wetting agent for suppressing evaporation of water and for thickening the shaping liquid and has a pH value of 7 to 9.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
