The present invention relates to a modeled object manufacturing apparatus, a modeled object manufacturing method, and a modeled object.

As a method for producing an interior material having an appearance in the shape of a woven fabric, a method of directly printing an interior pattern on a medium such as a film-shaped or plate-shaped material with an inkjet printer is known.

Here, when an interior material is produced by directly printing an interior pattern on a woven fabric, it is necessary to print using a water-based printing pigment ink or an ultraviolet curable ink. When a water-based printing pigment ink is used, the water-based printing pigment ink easily bleeds, so it is necessary to apply an anti-bleeding image-receiving layer coating to the fabric of the woven fabric in advance before printing the ink. .. Therefore, there is a possibility that the manufacturing cost of the interior material becomes high. In addition, since the image receiving layer may adhere to sewage or the like, the interior material may be easily contaminated, and the contamination may be difficult to remove. Further, when printing with an ultraviolet curable ink, the ink layer formed on the woven fabric becomes thick and hard, which may impair the texture of the woven fabric.

Further, when the interior material is manufactured by directly printing the appearance pattern of the shape of the woven fabric on the plastic base material, it is necessary to print using the ultraviolet curable ink. This method produces a fabric that is resistant to contamination because the appearance pattern of the woven fabric is represented by ridges of ink, but it is difficult to reproduce the fine mesh in the shape of the woven fabric. It was difficult to reproduce the appearance and texture of the shape of a real woven fabric.

Each information of a plurality of weft shaped objects 34 and is included. Here, the plane formed in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction in FIG. 2 is a plane in the direction along the plane formed by the X-axis and the Y-axis in FIG. In the present embodiment, a case where the vertical direction in FIG. 2 and the X-axis in FIG. 1 coincide with each other and the horizontal direction in FIG. 2 and the Y-axis in FIG. 1 coincide with each other is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. ..

Both the information of the warp thread model 32 and the weft thread model 34 is based on the thread information received by the thread information receiving unit 18. In the present embodiment, two types of thread shaped objects, a warp thread model 32 and a weft thread model 34, are used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and one type of thread model is used. However, three or more kinds of thread shaped objects may be used. Further, as the warp thread model 32 and the weft thread model 34, any thickness may be used. Further, the thread model is not limited to the warp thread model and the weft thread model, and a thread model extending in an oblique direction may be used.

The knitting method of the warp thread model 32 and the weft thread model 34 is based on the information of the thread knitting method that the knitting method reception unit 19 has received the input. In the present embodiment, in the method of knitting the warp model 32 and the weft model 34, the plurality of warp model 32 and the plurality of weft model 34 are arranged so as to be orthogonal to each other, and the warp model is formed. The objects 32 are arranged to extend in a wavy shape so as to alternately pass through the upper side and the lower side of each weft model 34, and the weft model 34 alternately alternates between the upper side and the lower side of each warp model 32.

Further, the cross-sectional shape of the warp yarn model 32 may be a cross-sectional shape obtained by twisting a plurality of yarns, that is, a shape in which a plurality of circular shapes, elliptical shapes, and the like are combined. It is preferable that the weft model 34 also has the same cross-sectional shape as the warp model 32. Information on the cross-sectional shape of the warp thread model 32 and the weft thread model 34 is included in the three-dimensional model information 30 of the model.

When the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object received by the control unit 28 includes information on the cross-sectional shape of the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread modeled object 34, the modeling unit 16 forms the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread. The modeled object is modeled so that the cross-sectional shape with the object 34 is the cross-sectional shape included in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object. For example, when the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object includes information that the cross-sectional shapes of the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread modeled object 34 are rounded, the modeling unit 16 may refer to the warp thread modeled object 32. The modeled object is modeled so that the cross-sectional shape of the weft thread with the modeled object 34 is rounded.

It has a rectangular shape that is the same as the width of the warp thread model 32. In the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object, the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b are alternately arranged in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction with the non-overlapping portion interposed therebetween.

The weft shaped object visible portion 36d has a rectangular shape in which the length in the vertical direction is the same as the width of the weft shaped object 34 and the length in the horizontal direction is the same as the distance between the two overlapping portions 36a. The warp-shaped object visible portion 36c and the weft-shaped object visible portion 36d are arranged alternately in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction so that the longitudinal directions are orthogonal to each other.

As shown in FIG. 3, the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object includes the gap portion 38a and the gap portion 38b. The gap portion 38a is arranged between the medium 31 and the warp model 32 at a position adjacent to the weft model 34 under the warp model 32. The gap portion 38b is arranged in a region above the warp model 32 and adjacent to the weft model 34 above the warp model 32. Similarly, the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object is also provided between the medium 31 and the weft modeled object 34 at a position adjacent to the warp thread modeled object 32 under the weft thread modeled object 34. , Including voids. Further, the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object includes a gap portion in the region above the modeled object 34 of the weft thread and also in a portion adjacent to the modeled object 32 of the warp thread on the upper side of the modeled object 34 of the weft thread.

It is preferable to include information that is formed thicker than the thickness. In this case, since the modeling unit 16 models the modeled object based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object in which the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b are emphasized, it is possible to model the modeled object with a more three-dimensional effect. can.

The three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object is such that the thickness of the modeled object of the upper thread in the overlapping portion is thicker than the thickness of the modeled object of the upper thread other than the overlapping portion, for example, the ratio of the thickness is doubled or more.

Specifically, in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object, the thickness of the upper warp modeled object 32 in the overlapping portion 36a is formed to be thicker than the thickness of the warp threaded modeled object 32 other than the overlapping portion 36a. It is preferable to include information that the thickness of the upper weft model 34 in the overlapping portion 36b is formed to be thicker than the thickness of the weft model 34 other than the overlapping portion 36b. In this case, since the modeling portion 16 models the modeled object based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object in which the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b are further emphasized, the modeled object having a more three-dimensional effect is modeled. Can be done.

The three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object is formed by the thickness of the modeled object of the upper thread in the overlapping portion being the thickness obtained by laminating the thickness of the modeled object of the lower thread in the overlapping portion, and the lower side in the overlapping portion. It is preferable to include information that does not form a model of the thread. Specifically, the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object is formed by the thickness of the modeled object 32 of the upper warp thread in the overlapping portion 36a and the thickness of the modeled object 34 of the lower weft thread in the overlapping portion 36a. The thickness of the upper weft molding 34 in the overlapping portion 36b is the thickness of the lower warp molding 32 in the overlapping portion 36b, while the lower weft molding 34 is not formed in the overlapping portion 36a. It is preferable to include information that the overlapped portion 36b is formed with a thickness in which the lower warp threads 32 are not formed. In this case, since the modeling portion 16 models the modeled object based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object in which the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b are further emphasized, the modeled object having a more three-dimensional effect is modeled. Can be done.

The three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object includes information that the upper thread modeled object in the overlapping portion is tapered from the overlapping portion toward the portion where the warp thread modeled object and the weft thread modeled object do not overlap. Is preferable. Specifically, the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object is directed to the portion where the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread modeled object 34 do not overlap with the upper warp thread modeled object 32 in the overlapping portion 36a. A taper is formed on the upper weft molding 34 in the overlapping portion 36b from the overlapping portion 36b toward a portion where the warp molding 32 and the weft molding 34 do not overlap. It is preferable to include information. In this case, since the modeling portion 16 models the modeled object based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object in which the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b are further emphasized, the modeled object having a more three-dimensional effect is modeled. Can be done.

It is preferable that the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object includes information such as the order in which the modeled object 16 is modeled. For example, when the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object includes the information of the overlapping portion, the order of modeling by the modeling unit 16 is such that the modeled object of the lower thread in the overlapping portion is modeled and then the upper side in the overlapping portion. It is to make a model of the thread of. That is, after modeling the thread model on the side of the work surface 21a with respect to the main thread model, which is the model of any one thread, the main thread model is used as the main thread. The model is modeled while scanning along the extending direction of the modeled object, and the thread modeled object on the opposite side of the work surface 21a from the main thread modeled object is modeled. Specifically, the order of modeling by the modeling unit 16 is such that the modeling is performed along the main scanning direction. Partially model the surrounding void portion 38a, then form the warp model 32 on top of them, and then partially shape the weft model 34 near the overlapping portion 36b. An example is that a modeled object 34 of a partially formed weft thread is connected and integrated by modeling. However, in this case, the void portion 38b is not modeled. The three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object is not limited to the case where the information such as the order of modeling is included, and the information that the three-dimensional modeling information 30 is simply superposed on the upper surface of the medium 31 one layer at a time. May be included.

Based on the information included in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object, the modeling unit 16 determines the thickness of the modeled object of the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b when viewed from the surface, for example, the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread. It is preferable to form the modeled object 34 thicker than the thickness of the modeled object at the portion where the modeled object 34 does not overlap. In this case, since the modeling unit 16 models the modeled object based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object in which the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b are emphasized, it is possible to model the modeled object with a more three-dimensional effect. can.

Based on the information contained in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object, the modeling unit 16 also determines, for example, the thickness of the modeled object of the upper thread in the overlapping portion, and the thickness of the modeled object of the upper thread other than the overlapping portion. It is preferable to form the thickness so that, for example, the ratio of the thickness is doubled or more. Specifically, the modeling portion 16 forms the thickness of the upper warp model 32 in the overlapping portion 36a thicker than the thickness of the warp model 32 other than the overlapping portion 36a, and the upper weft in the overlapping portion 36b. It is preferable that the thickness of the modeled object 34 is thicker than the thickness of the modeled object 34 of the weft thread other than the overlapping portion 36b. In this case, since the modeling unit 16 models the modeled object based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object in which the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b are further emphasized, the modeling object has a more three-dimensional effect. Can be done.

Based on the information contained in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object, the modeling unit 16 also determines, for example, the thickness of the upper thread modeled object in the overlapping portion and the thickness of the lower thread modeled object in the overlapping portion. It is preferable that the above is formed with a laminated thickness and does not form a modeled object of the lower thread at the overlapping portion. Specifically, the modeling portion 16 is formed by laminating the thickness of the upper warp model 32 in the overlapping portion 36a and the thickness of the lower weft model 34 in the overlapping portion 36a, and the overlapping portion 36a. In addition to not forming the lower weft model 34 in the above, the thickness of the upper weft model 34 in the overlapping portion 36b is formed by laminating the thickness of the lower warp model 32 in the overlapping portion 36b. , It is preferable not to form the lower warp model 32 in the overlapping portion 36b. In this case, since the modeling unit 16 models the modeled object based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object in which the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b are further emphasized, the modeling object has a more three-dimensional effect. Can be done.

Based on the information included in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object, the modeling unit 16 also includes, for example, the upper thread modeled object in the overlapping portion, and the warp thread modeled object and the weft thread modeled object from the overlapping portion. It is preferable to form a taper toward the non-overlapping portion. Specifically, the modeling portion 16 forms a taper from the overlapping portion 36a toward the portion where the warp modeling object 32 and the weft thread modeling object 34 do not overlap with the upper warp thread modeling object 32 in the overlapping portion 36a. It is preferable that the upper weft model 34 in the overlapping portion 36b is tapered from the overlapping portion 36b toward a portion where the warp model 32 and the weft model 34 do not overlap. In this case, since the modeling unit 16 models the modeled object based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object in which the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b are further emphasized, the modeling object has a more three-dimensional effect. Can be done.

When the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object includes the overlapping portion of the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread modeled object 34 and includes information such as the order in which the modeled object 16 is modeled, the modeling unit 16 includes this information. Based on, for example, after modeling the thread model on the side with the work surface 21a from the main thread model, which is the model of any one thread, the main thread model is made the main. The thread is modeled while scanning along the extending direction of the thread model, and the thread model on the opposite side of the work surface 21a from the main thread model is modeled. Specifically, the modeling portion 16 is first modeled along the main scanning direction, and first, the modeled object 34 of the weft thread located near the portion 36a overlapping the upper surface of the medium (media) 31 and the gap portion 38a around it. And are partially modeled, then the warp thread model 32 is formed on top of them, and then the weft model 34 near the overlapping portion 36b is partially modeled to form a portion. The modeled object 34 of the weft thread that has been modeled is connected and integrated.

When modeling the void portion 38a, the modeling unit 16 uses an ink that uses white ink as the coloring ink, an ink that uses a transparent ink such as clear ink without using the coloring ink, and a medium (media) as the coloring ink. Ink that uses ink of almost the same color as 31 or ink that uses ink of almost the same color as the warp thread model 32 or weft thread model 34 that is immediately around the void portion 38a as the coloring ink, or , The opaque ink described later in the second embodiment is used for modeling. Further, the modeling portion 16 does not model the gap portion 38b. In this way, the modeling unit 16 properly processes the gap portion 38a and the gap portion 38b of the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object. The modeling unit 16 performs modeling on the side with the work surface 21a, that is, the gap portion 38a on the lower side to support the warp thread model 32 or the weft thread model 34, which is modeled on the uppermost side. The void portion 38b in the above is not shaped, and only the upper structure is reproduced like the structure of a real woven fabric.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a method of manufacturing a modeled object according to the first embodiment. A method of manufacturing a modeled object, which is an example of an operation method of the modeled object manufacturing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment, will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the method for manufacturing the modeled object according to the first embodiment includes a thread information receiving step (step S12), a knitting information receiving step (step S14), and a three-dimensional modeling information generation step (step S16). And the modeling step (step S18).

First, the thread information receiving unit 18 accepts input of information on one or more threads of an arbitrary number (step S12). Next, the knitting method reception unit 19 receives input of information on the knitting method of the yarn (step S14). The input receiving unit 12 transmits the thread information received by the thread information receiving unit 18 and the weaving method of the thread received by the knitting method receiving unit 19 to the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14.

The order of step S12 and step S14 may be which comes first and which comes later. That is, the input of the yarn information may be accepted in step S12, and then the input of the yarn knitting method information for which the input of information is accepted in step S12 may be accepted in step S14. Further, the input of the yarn knitting method information may be accepted in step S14, and then the input of the yarn information to be knitted by the yarn knitting method received in step S14 may be accepted in step S12.

Next, the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 generates three-dimensional modeling information of the modeled object based on the thread information received from the input reception unit 12 and the information on the thread weaving method (step S16). The three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 transmits the generated three-dimensional modeling information to the control unit 28 of the modeling unit 16. For example, the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 generates the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object and transmits it to the control unit 28 of the modeling unit 16.

In step S16, the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 generates the minimum unit three-dimensional modeling information generated based on the thread information and the thread weaving method information, and repeats the three-dimensional modeling information of the minimum unit. It is preferable to generate three-dimensional modeling information of a modeled object having a shape and size specified in advance by processing.

In step S16, it is preferable that the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 includes the information on the cross-sectional shape of the warp thread modeling object 32 and the weft thread modeling object 34 in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object. In step S16, the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 provides the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object with information on the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b, which are overlapping portions of the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread modeled object 34. It is preferable to include it. Further, in step S16, it is preferable that the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 includes the information of the warp thread modeled object visual recognition portion 36c and the weft thread modeled object visual recognition portion 36d in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object. Further, in step S16, it is preferable that the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 includes information such as the order in which the modeling unit 16 is modeled in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object.

Then, the modeling unit 16 ejects ultraviolet curable ink as a modeling agent toward the work surface 21a based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object received from the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14. By irradiating the ultraviolet curable ink with ultraviolet rays and curing it, a modeled object is formed on the work surface 21a (step S18). Specifically, the medium 31 is placed on the work surface 21a, and the warp model 32, which is included as information in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the model, is placed on the medium 31. And the model 34 of the weft thread is modeled.

In step S18, when the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object includes information on the cross-sectional shape of the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread modeled object 34, the modeling unit 16 includes the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread modeled object 34. The modeled object is modeled so that the cross-sectional shape of and is based on this information. In step S18, the modeling unit 16 includes information on the overlapping portion of the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object between the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread modeled object 34, and provides information such as the order in which the modeled object 16 is modeled. If included, the modeled objects are modeled in order based on this information.

In step S18, an ultraviolet curable ink is used as a modeling agent. Therefore, in step S18, it is not necessary to use a coating of the image receiving layer to prevent bleeding from which sewage or the like may adhere. As a result, it is possible to manufacture a modeled product that is resistant to contamination.

Since the modeled object manufacturing apparatus 10 and the modeled object manufacturing method based on the modeled object have the above configurations, the modeled object is manufactured based on the thread information and the thread weaving method information, so that it is resistant to contamination. And, visually and / or tactilely, it is possible to produce a model having the appearance texture of the shape of a real woven fabric. For this reason, the modeled object manufacturing apparatus 10 and the modeled object manufacturing method using the modeled material give a texture like a real cloth, such as a plastic film, a plastic plate, a metal plate, a glass plate, a plywood, and wood. , Synthetic building materials, non-laying cloth, plastic membranes, etc. As a result, the modeled object manufacturing apparatus 10 and the modeled object manufacturing method based on the modeled object can provide a luxurious and calm space.

Further, the model manufacturing apparatus 10 and the method for manufacturing the model by the model can manufacture an interior material made of the model that is easy to clean and resistant to contamination. The interior material produced in this way is required to be constantly cleaned to maintain a clean feeling, and can be suitably used in a space such as a restaurant or a restaurant where the influence of pollution by oil or the like is strong. Further, the interior material produced in this way can be suitably used in a space such as a room or a car where actual contact with a person is expected.

Further, in the model manufacturing apparatus 10 and the method for manufacturing the model, the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the model includes the cross-sectional shape of the thread model, and the cross-sectional shape of the thread model is rounded. Since the shaped object is shaped so that the cross-sectional shape of the shaped object of the thread is rounded, the cross-sectional shape of the shaped object of the thread is rounded like the actual thread. It is possible to manufacture a modeled object with a texture.

Further, the manufacturing apparatus 10 of the modeled object and the method of manufacturing the modeled object by the method are based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object, for example, when viewed from the surface, the thickness of the modeled object of the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b. Is preferably formed to be thicker than the thickness of the modeled object at the portion where the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread modeled object 34 do not overlap. Further, the manufacturing device 10 of the modeled object and the manufacturing method of the modeled object by the method are based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object, for example, the thickness of the modeled object of the upper thread in the overlapping portion is set to the upper side other than the overlapping portion. It is preferable to form the thread so that it is thicker than the thickness of the modeled object, for example, the ratio of the thickness is doubled or more. Further, in the model manufacturing apparatus 10 and the method for manufacturing the model based on the model, for example, the thickness of the upper thread model in the overlapping portion is set to the lower side of the overlapping portion based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the model. It is preferable that the thickness of the shaped object of the thread is formed by the laminated thickness, and the shaped object of the lower thread is not formed in the overlapping portion. Further, the manufacturing apparatus 10 of the modeled object and the method of manufacturing the modeled object by the method are based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object, for example, to the modeled object of the upper thread in the overlapping portion, and the modeled object of the warp thread from the overlapping portion. It is preferable to form a taper toward a portion where the 32 and the shaped object 34 of the weft thread do not overlap. In these cases, in the model manufacturing apparatus 10 and the method for manufacturing the model, the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the model in which the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b are further emphasized or the shape is rich in variation. Since the modeled object is modeled based on the above, it is possible to model a modeled object having a more three-dimensional effect and a variety of shapes for overlapping portions.

Further, in the model manufacturing apparatus 10 and the method for manufacturing the model, the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the model includes information on the overlapping portion of the thread model, and the model is mainly one of the threads. After modeling the thread model on the side of the work surface 21a from the thread model, the main thread model is scanned while scanning along the extending direction of the main thread model. Then, the thread model on the side opposite to the work surface 21a from the main thread model is modeled. For this reason, the modeled object manufacturing apparatus 10 and the modeled object manufacturing method using the modeled object can continuously model the modeled object of any one thread, so that the shape is continuous in the longitudinal direction like an actual thread. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a modeled object having the appearance texture of the shape of a real woven fabric.

In addition, the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 generates the smallest unit of three-dimensional modeling information based on the thread information and the thread weaving method information in the modeled object manufacturing apparatus 10 and the modeled object manufacturing method. Is generated, and the three-dimensional modeling information of the smallest unit is repeatedly processed to generate three-dimensional modeling information of a modeled object having a shape and size specified in advance. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture shaped objects having various shapes and sizes.

Specifically, the model manufacturing device 10 and the method for manufacturing the model using the model include broad cloth (poplin), chintz, boil, muslin, amunzen, satin, beskin, cotton flannel, coulten, dobby cloth, and jacquard weave. , Gingham, denim, Burbury (registered trademark), cashmere, feather double (registered trademark), chiffon, grained fabric, velvet, etc. Can be made.

The three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 can perform a light-shielding process for setting a region in which opaque ink is used for the three-dimensional modeling information of the modeled object in order to give the modeled object a light-shielding property. That is, the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 can include the information of the region where the opaque ink is used in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object. Specifically, the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 prevents the medium 31 and the weft model 34 under the warp model 32 from passing through the warp model visual recognition portion 36c. A part of the warp thread model 32 includes an area using opaque ink, and in the weft model visual recognition portion 36d, the medium 31 and the warp model 32 under the weft model 34 are included. A process is performed in which a part of the weft thread model 34 is included in a region where opaque ink is used so that the ink does not pass through. The three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 generates, for example, the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of a modeled object as shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9 described below.

In the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, the modeled object 32 of the warp yarn includes two colored ink regions, a region 32a and a region 32b, and the weft yarn. The model 34 of the above includes two colored ink regions, a region 34a and a region 34b.

Specifically, in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 7, the region 32a is a region of the warp thread modeled object 32 on the side to be visually recognized, that is, on the side opposite to the medium 31. The region 32b is a region on the side of the warp thread shaped object 32 that is not visible, that is, on the side where the medium 31 is located. Further, in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 7, the area 34a is a region of the modeled object 34 of the weft thread on the side to be visually recognized, that is, the area opposite to the medium 31, and the area 34b. Is an area on the side of the weft shaped object 34 that is not visible, that is, on the side where the medium 31 is located.

The region 32a is a region where the coloring ink of the original color of the warp thread model 32 is used. The region 32b is a region in which an opaque ink is used to provide light-shielding properties so that the color of the warp yarn model 32 below, for example, the color of the medium 31 and the weft thread model 34 is not transmitted. be. Here, the opaque ink has a light-shielding property because it has a function of scattering light and not transmitting it.

The region 34a is a region in which the colored ink of the original color of the weft model 34 is used. The area 34b is a region in which an opaque ink is used to provide light-shielding properties so that the color of the weft thread model 34, for example, the color of the medium 31 and the warp thread model 32 does not pass through. be.

In the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 7, both the region 32a and the region 32b extend without interruption along the extending direction of the modeled object 32 of the warp threads. Further, in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 7, both the area 34a and the area 34b extend without interruption along the extending direction of the modeled object 34 of the weft thread. Therefore, in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 7, the region 32a covers the side of the modeled object 32 of the warp threads opposite to the medium 31 over the entire horizontal plane, and the region 32b covers the warp threads. One side of the medium 31 in the model 32 of the above is covered over the entire horizontal plane. Further, in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 7, the region 34a covers the side of the modeled object 34 of the weft thread opposite to the medium 31 over the entire horizontal plane, and the region 34b is the weft thread. A side of the medium 31 in the model 34 is covered over the entire horizontal plane.

In the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 8, the region 34b in the weft modeled object visual recognition portion 36d is expanded downward and penetrates the region 32a with respect to the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. It is changed so that it is connected to and integrated with the region 32b, and further, the region 32b in the warp model visual recognition portion 36c is expanded downward, penetrates the region 34a, and is connected and integrated with the region 34b. It has been changed.

The three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 9 is such that the area 32a and the area 32b are mixed with the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 7, and the area 34a and the area 34b are mixed. It has been changed to. That is, in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 9, the warp thread modeled object 32 has the region 32b distributed substantially uniformly in the region 32a, and the weft thread modeled object 34 has a region in the region 34a. 34b is in a state of being substantially uniformly distributed. Also in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 9, the region 32a covers the side of the warp thread modeled object 32 opposite to the medium 31 over the entire horizontal plane, and the region 34a is the weft thread modeling. The side of the object 34 opposite to the medium 31 is covered over the entire horizontal plane, and the region 32a and the region 34a are visible.

The opaque ink contains a white pigment. Therefore, the opaque ink has a light-shielding property. The opaque ink may be a white ink that does not contain a coloring pigment other than the white pigment, or a colored ink that contains a coloring pigment other than the white pigment. The white pigment contained in the opaque ink has a haze value representing opacity of 30% or more, preferably 70% or more, and more preferably 90% or more. The haze value is a value defined by the following equation 1.

Haze value [%] = (transmitted light of only scattered components / transmitted light of all rays) × 100 ・ ・ ・ Equation 1

The haze value of the target ink of the present invention is obtained by printing the target ink on a transparent polyester film or a glass plate twice in a solid pattern according to a printing method of a normal ultraviolet curable ink. Is a value measured by a haze meter (specifically, MDH-2000 manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.) by a measuring method based on JIS K7105. ..

The opaque ink has a white pigment. As the white pigment, any of hollow white pigment, microcapsulated titanium oxide, microcapsulated zinc oxide, and nanoparticles having an average particle size of 300 nm or less is exemplified as preferable. Here, the average particle size refers to the arithmetic mean of the diameters of spheres having the same volume as the particles.

The hollow white pigment is exemplified by a hollow or porous fine particle polymer. Since the hollow or porous fine particle polymer has large voids in its structure, it has low light transmittance, relatively high light shielding property against visible light, and its specific gravity is suppressed. The hollow or porous fine particle polymer uses an alkali swelling substance exemplified as a monomer containing a carboxylate, and an acid is added after heating by adding a base to particles in which unsaturated carboxylic acid is copolymerized. Swelled by neutralization, polymerized polystyrene seed particles followed by swelling with methyl methacrylate and crosslinkable monomer and added water-soluble initiator, foaming agent or volatile in polymer particles Those containing a substance and volatilized and foamed by drying, those in which the monomer of the oil layer of the Water / Oil / Water (W / O / W) type monomer emulsion is polymerized, and those in which monomers having different compatibility are polymerized in two steps. , Hydrophilic monomer, crosslinkable monomer and oily substance coexist in a certain ratio. The oily substance is removed from the polymer containing the oily substance synthesized by suspension polymerization or emulsification polymerization. , Etc. are exemplified.

The microcapsule titanium oxide is microencapsulated of titanium oxide pigment particles having an average particle size of 300 nm or less. The microcapsule zinc oxide is microencapsulated of zinc oxide pigment particles having an average particle size of 300 nm or less. Microencapsulation is to coat the periphery of the particles with a thin film to stabilize the dispersion of the particles, suppress the aggregation of the particles, and suppress the specific gravity.

All of the white pigments exemplified above have a lower specific gravity than the generally known white pigments such as titanium oxide and zinc oxide, and the colored pigments and other components contained in the colored inks. And so on. Therefore, such a white pigment is prevented from precipitating in the coloring pigment and other components contained in the coloring ink, so that it can stay more stably inside the modeled object. Further, since such a white pigment is less likely to cause separation due to a difference in specific gravity among the coloring pigment and other components contained in the coloring ink, the coloring pigment and other components contained in the coloring ink and the like are reduced. It is possible to maintain the state of being mixed with the ink, and it is possible to stabilize the ink ejection and the color tone. As a result, it is possible to produce a modeled object having the same degree of opacity as a real woven fabric.

It is sufficient for the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 to apply a minimum light-shielding treatment to the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object so that the colors of the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread modeled object 34 are not mixed. Specifically, the portion included in the warp model visual recognition portion 36c of the warp model 32 and the portion included in the weft model visible portion 36d of the weft model 34 are minimized from light. Treatment is sufficient. Therefore, the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object according to the second embodiment is not limited to that shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, and the colors of the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread modeled object 34 are not mixed. It includes the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of any kind of modeled object, which has been subjected to the minimum shading treatment as described above.

FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing another example of the distribution of the colored ink contained in the modeling agent of the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object according to the second embodiment. FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing another example of the distribution of the colored ink contained in the modeling agent of the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object according to the second embodiment. FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing another example of the distribution of the colored ink contained in the modeling agent of the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object according to the second embodiment. Hereinafter, a modified example of the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 13.

The three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 10 is obtained by providing a region 32a and a region 32b in the warp thread modeled object 32 with respect to the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9. Instead of providing the region 34a and the region 34b in the model 34 of the above, a white ink layer 35a is provided between the warp model 32 and the weft model 34 in the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b. .. Specifically, the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 10 shows that the side of the warp thread modeled object 32 with the medium (media) 31 and the weft thread modeled object 34 medium (media) 31 in the overlapping portion 36a. The white ink layer 35a provided between the opposite sides, the side with the medium 31 of the weft model 34 in the overlapping portion 36b, and the side opposite to the medium 31 of the warp model 32. It has a white ink layer 35a provided between the two.

The white ink layer 35a included in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 10 has the white pigment described above. The white ink layer 35a may be colored to such an extent that it does not affect the coloring of the warp thread model 32 and the weft thread model 34. Since the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 10 has the white ink layer 35a, the light-shielding treatment is applied in the same manner as the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9. It is in a state of being.

The three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 11 is based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. The white ink layer 35b is provided, and the white ink layer 35b is provided between the warp model 32 and the medium 31 in the overlapping portion 36b. That is, the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 11 includes a white ink layer 35a similar to the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. ) 31 and a white ink layer 35b provided between the warp model 32 and the medium 31 in the overlapping portion 36b.

The white ink layer 35b included in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 11 has the white pigment described above, similarly to the white ink layer 35a. The white ink layer 35b may be colored to such an extent that it does not affect the coloring of the warp thread model 32 and the weft thread model 34, similarly to the white ink layer 35a. Since the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 11 further has a white ink layer 35b, the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b are in a state where the medium 31 is also shielded from light. It has become.

The three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 12 is a method of dividing the region 32a and the area 32b in the warp thread modeled object 32 with respect to the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9. Is changed, and the method of dividing the region 34a and the region 34b in the weft model 34 is changed. Specifically, in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 12, the portion of the warp thread modeled object 32 that is included in the warp thread modeled object visual recognition portion 36c is set as a region 32a, and is included in the weft thread modeled object visible portion 36d. The portion is designated as a region 32b, and among the weft shaped objects 34, the portion included in the weft modeled object visible portion 36d is designated as the region 34a, and the portion included in the warp thread shaped object visible portion 36c is designated as the region 34b. Since the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 12 has such a configuration, similarly to the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIGS. 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. It is in a light-shielded state.

In the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 13, the area 32b is defined as a region using colored ink having the same coloring as the area 34a with respect to the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. It is a region using colored ink having the same coloring as the region 32a. In the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 13, even if the opaque ink is not included, the regions using the colored ink having the same coloring are laminated in the overlapping portion 36a and the overlapping portion 36b. , FIG. 8, FIG. 9, FIG. 10, FIG. 11, and FIG. 12, although the form is different from the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. There is. The three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object shown in FIG. 13 is the same as the above-described form in paragraphs 0066, 0071, and 0087.

The modeling unit 16 models the modeled object based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object that has been light-shielded by the three-dimensional modeling information generating unit 14. When the modeling unit 16 is based on, for example, the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object as shown in FIGS. 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12, the modeling of the warp thread modeled object 32 includes opaque ink. After modeling the area 32b with the modeling agent, the area 32a is modeled with the modeling agent containing the coloring ink of the original color, and for the modeling of the weft model 34, the area 34b is modeled with the modeling agent containing the opaque ink. The region 34a is modeled with a modeling agent containing coloring ink of the original color. Further, when the modeling unit 16 is based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object as shown in FIG. 9, for example, the warp thread is a modeling agent containing a mixture of opaque ink and colored ink of the original color of the modeled object 32 of the warp thread. The model 32 of the above is modeled, and the weft model 34 is modeled with a modeling agent containing a mixture of opaque ink and colored ink of the original color of the weft model 34. When the modeling unit 16 is based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object as shown in FIG. 13, for example, the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread modeled object do not use opaque ink, as in the first embodiment. 34 can be modeled.

A method for manufacturing a modeled object, which is an example of an operation method for the device for producing a modeled object according to the second embodiment, will be described. The method for manufacturing the modeled object according to the second embodiment is the same as the modeling method for the modeled object according to the first embodiment, that is, the thread information receiving step (step S12), the weaving information receiving step (step S14), and the three-dimensional modeling. The information generation step (step S16) and the modeling step (step S18) are included.

Step S12 and step S14 according to the second embodiment are the same as steps S12 and S14 according to the first embodiment. In step S16 according to the second embodiment, in addition to the step S16 according to the first embodiment, the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 adds the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object to the warp thread modeled object 32 and the weft thread modeled object 34. Light-shielding treatment is applied so that the colors of and do not mix. The three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 may further perform a light-shielding treatment so that the color of the medium 31 is not mixed with the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object.

In step S18 according to the second embodiment, in step S18 according to the first embodiment, the modeling unit 16 is modeled based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object that has been light-shielded by the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14. Model things. As a result, a modeled object that has been subjected to a light-shielding treatment is manufactured.

Since the device for manufacturing the modeled object and the method for manufacturing the modeled object according to the second embodiment have the above configurations, they are the same as the device 10 for manufacturing the modeled object according to the first embodiment and the method for manufacturing the modeled object by the device 10. Has the effect of. In addition to this, in the manufacturing apparatus for the modeled object and the manufacturing method for the modeled object according to the second embodiment, the three-dimensional modeling information generation unit 14 sets a region in which the opaque ink is used for the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object. The light-shielding treatment is applied in the above, and the modeling unit 16 forms the modeled object based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object that has been subjected to the light-shielding property. It is possible to manufacture a modeled object in which the color on the side is reduced to be transmitted to the upper side of the modeled object.

FIG. 14 is an example of a plan view showing a modeled object 100, which is an example of the modeled object according to the first embodiment. FIG. 15 is an example of a plan view showing a modeled object 110, which is an example of the modeled object according to the second embodiment. The modeled object 100 is modeled based on the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object according to the first embodiment, that is, the modeled object 100 is modeled without setting a region for using opaque ink in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object. be. The model 110 is modeled based on the three-dimensional model information 30 of the model according to the second embodiment, that is, after a region using opaque ink is set in the three-dimensional model information 30 of the model. be.

As shown in FIG. 14, the model 100 includes a plurality of first thread model 102 and a plurality of second thread model 104. The modeled objects 102 of the plurality of first threads are those obtained by discharging and curing the modeling agent. A plurality of first thread shaped objects 102 extend in the vertical direction of FIG. 14, which is one direction, and are arranged in a plurality of horizontal directions in FIG. The modeled objects 104 of the plurality of second threads are formed by discharging a modeling agent and curing the modeled objects 104. A plurality of second thread shaped objects 104 are arranged in the vertical direction of FIG. 14 extending in the left-right direction of FIG. 14 which is an other direction intersecting with the plurality of first thread shaped objects 102. In the present embodiment, the case of the model 100 in which the model 102 of the first thread and the model 104 of the second thread are orthogonal to each other will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first Any form may be used as long as the model 102 of the thread and the model 104 of the second thread are not parallel but intersect. The first thread model 102 and the second thread model 104 are woven together.

The first thread model 102 extends in a wavy shape so as to alternately pass the front side in FIG. 14 which is the upper side of the second thread model 104 and the back side in FIG. 14 which is the lower side. It is arranged as a target. The second thread model 104 is three-dimensionally arranged so as to extend in a wavy shape so as to alternately pass through the upper side and the lower side of the first thread model 102. The first thread model 102 passes above the second thread model 104 at the overlapping portion 106a. That is, the second thread model 104 passes below the first thread model 102 at the overlapping portion 106a. The first thread model 102 passes below the second thread model 104 at the overlapping portion 106b. That is, the second thread model 104 passes above the first thread model 102 at the overlapping portion 106b.

The first thread model 102 is modeled based on the warp model 32. The second thread model 104 is modeled based on the weft model 34. The overlapping portion 106a corresponds to the overlapping portion 36a. The overlapping portion 106b corresponds to the overlapping portion 36b.

The modeled object 100 is modeled without using opaque ink without setting a region for using opaque ink in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object. Therefore, in the modeled object 100, both the coloring of the modeled object 102 of the first thread and the coloring of the modeled object 104 of the second thread appear to be transparent in the overlapping portion 106a and the overlapping portion 106b, so that they are visually visible. In each case, a color in which the coloring of the modeled object 102 of the first thread and the coloring of the modeled object 104 of the second thread are mixed is shown. Therefore, the modeled object 100 can have three colors by coloring the modeled object of each thread with two different colors.

Further, when the modeled object 100 is modeled on the medium, the color and pattern of the medium can be seen through, so that the modeled object 102 of the first thread can be visually seen. It is possible to have a color and a pattern in which the color formed by the coloring and the coloring of the modeled object 104 of the second thread and the color and the pattern of the medium (media) overlap.

As shown in FIG. 15, the model 110 includes a plurality of first thread model 112 and a plurality of second thread model 114. Since the modeled object 110 has the same shape as the modeled object 100, the corresponding relationship will be described below, and detailed description of the shape will be omitted. The first thread model 112 corresponds to the first thread model 102. The second thread model 114 corresponds to the second thread model 104. The overlapping portion 116a corresponds to the overlapping portion 106a. The overlapping portion 116b corresponds to the overlapping portion 106b.

The model 110 is different from the model 100 in terms of coloring. The modeled object 110 is formed by setting a region for using opaque ink in the three-dimensional modeling information 30 of the modeled object and using the opaque ink. In the model 110, the model 112 of the first thread contains opaque ink in the overlapping portion 116a, and the model 114 of the second thread contains opaque ink in the overlapping portion 116b. For this reason, the model 110 is blocked from coloring the second thread model 114 by the opaque ink at the overlapping portion 116a, and visually shows the color due to the coloring of the first thread model 112. Further, in the modeled object 110, the coloring of the modeled object 112 of the first thread is blocked by the opaque ink in the overlapping portion 116b, and the color of the modeled object 114 of the second thread is visually shown. Therefore, the modeled object 110 can have a color woven so that threads of two colors are alternately overlapped by using opaque ink in a predetermined area.

Further, when the modeled object 110 is modeled on the medium, the color and pattern of the medium are further blocked by the opaque ink, so that the color and pattern of the medium do not depend on the color and pattern of the medium. , It is possible to have a color in which two colored threads are woven so as to be alternately overlapped, which is formed by coloring the model 112 of the first thread and coloring the model 114 of the second thread. ..

[Embodiment 3]
FIG. 16 is an example of a cross-sectional view showing an example of the modeled object 130 according to the third embodiment. The model 130 according to the third embodiment is obtained by changing the modeling agent used for the model with respect to the model 100 and the model 110 described in the second embodiment. In the description of the third embodiment, the same code group as that of the second embodiment is used in the same configuration as the description of the second embodiment, and the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 16, the model 130 includes a plurality of first thread model 132s and a plurality of second thread model 134s. The plurality of first thread shaped objects 132 are formed by ejecting a modeling agent composed of a single opaque color ink onto the upper surface of the medium 131 and curing the molding agent 132. A plurality of first thread shaped objects 132 extend in the left-right direction of FIG. 16 in one direction, and are arranged in a plurality of directions perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. The plurality of second thread shaped objects 134 are formed by ejecting and curing a modeling agent composed of a single opaque color ink. A plurality of second thread shaped objects 134 extend in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 16, which is an other direction intersecting with the plurality of first thread shaped objects 132, and are arranged in a plurality in the left-right direction of FIG. ing. In the present embodiment, the case of the model 130 in which the model 132 of the first thread and the model 134 of the second thread are orthogonal to each other will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first Any form may be used as long as the model 132 of the thread and the model 134 of the second thread are not parallel but intersect. The first thread model 132 and the second thread model 134 are woven together.

The first thread model 132 extends in a wavy shape so as to alternately pass through the upper side (upper side in FIG. 16) and the lower side (lower side in FIG. 14) of the second thread model 134, and is three-dimensional. It is arranged in. The second thread model 134 is three-dimensionally arranged so as to extend in a wavy shape so as to alternately pass through the upper side and the lower side of the first thread model 132. The first thread model 132 passes above the second thread model 134 at the overlapping portion 136a. That is, the second thread model 134 passes below the first thread model 132 at the overlapping portion 136a. The first thread model 132 passes below the second thread model 134 at the overlapping portion 136b. That is, the second thread model 134 passes above the first thread model 132 at the overlapping portion 136b.

The first thread model 132 is modeled based on the warp model 32. The second thread model 134 is modeled based on the weft thread model 34. The overlapping portion 136a corresponds to the overlapping portion 36a. The overlapping portion 136b corresponds to the overlapping portion 36b.

As shown in FIG. 16, the model 130 has a warp thread model visual recognition portion 136c in which the first thread model 132 can be visually recognized from above, and a weft thread model visual recognition in which the second thread model 134 can be visually recognized from above. Includes portions 136d and. The warp-shaped object visible portion 136c corresponds to the warp-shaped object visible portion 36c. The weft shaped object visible portion 136d corresponds to the weft shaped object visible portion 36d.

As shown in FIG. 16, the modeled object 130 includes a gap portion 138a and a gap portion 138b. The gap portion 138a corresponds to the gap portion 38a. The gap portion 138b corresponds to the gap portion 38b.

The modeling agent composed of a single opaque color ink forming the model 132 of the plurality of first threads is a kind of opaque ink, and the ultraviolet curable ink containing the coloring ink described in the first embodiment is used in the embodiment. An example is one in which the white pigment exemplified as preferable in 2 is mixed and uniformly dispersed. A molding agent consisting of a single opaque color ink forming a plurality of second thread shaped objects 134 is different from a molding agent consisting of a single opaque color ink forming a plurality of first thread shaped objects 132. An example has a configuration similar to that of a modeling agent composed of a single opaque color ink that has coloring and forms a plurality of first thread shaped objects 132 in a portion other than coloring.

The modeling object 130, the modeling apparatus of the modeling object 130, and the modeling method of the modeling object 130 according to the third embodiment are a plurality of first thread modeling objects 132 and a plurality of second threads using only two types of opaque color inks.
