Description

本発明は、三次元造形物の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional model.

従来、三次元造形物を製造するための印刷装置が知られている(たとえば、特許文献1参照)。特許文献1に記載の印刷装置は、インクを吐出する複数のインクジェットヘッドと、インクジェッドヘッドから吐出された紫外線硬化型のインクを硬化させるUV-LEDランプと、インクジェッドヘッドから吐出されたインクの表面を平坦化する平坦化ローラと、三次元造形物が載置される載置部とを備えている。インクジェットヘッドとUV-LEDランプと平坦化ローラとは、キャリッジに搭載されている。 Conventionally, a printing device for manufacturing a three-dimensional model has been known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The printing apparatus described in Patent Document 1 includes a plurality of inkjet heads for ejecting ink, a UV-LED lamp for curing ultraviolet curable ink ejected from the ink jet head, and ink ejected from the ink jet head. It is equipped with a flattening roller that flattens the surface and a mounting portion on which a three-dimensional model is placed. The inkjet head, the UV-LED lamp, and the flattening roller are mounted on the carriage.

特許文献1に記載の印刷装置で三次元造形物を造形するときには、三次元造形物を載置部から分離するための分離層が三次元造形物と載置部との間に形成される。分離層は、サポート材用のインクによって形成されており、三次元造形物を下側から支持する機能も果たしている。また、特許文献1に記載の印刷装置で三次元造形物を造形するときには、三次元造形物を支持するためのサポート材が三次元造形物の外周面を囲むように形成される。サポート材は、サポート材用のインクによって形成されており、三次元造形物のオーバーハング部分を下側から支持している。 When the three-dimensional model is modeled by the printing apparatus described in Patent Document 1, a separation layer for separating the three-dimensional model from the mounting portion is formed between the three-dimensional model and the mounting portion. The separation layer is formed of ink for a support material, and also functions to support the three-dimensional model from below. Further, when modeling a three-dimensional model with the printing apparatus described in Patent Document 1, a support material for supporting the three-dimensional model is formed so as to surround the outer peripheral surface of the three-dimensional model. The support material is formed of ink for the support material, and supports the overhang portion of the three-dimensional model from below.

特許文献1に記載の印刷装置では、三次元造形物の形状によっては、三次元造形物を造形しているときに、三次元造形物が変形して、図5に示すように、造形中(造形途中)の三次元造形物101が分離層102やサポート材103から剥離(または破断)するおそれがあることが本願発明者の検討によって明らかになった。たとえば、三次元造形物101が平板状に形成されている場合には、特許文献1に記載の印刷装置で三次元造形物101を造形しているときに、三次元造形物101に反りが生じて、造形中の三次元造形物101が分離層102やサポート材103から剥離する場合があることが本願発明者の検討によって明らかになった。 In the printing apparatus described in Patent Document 1, depending on the shape of the three-dimensional model, the three-dimensional model is deformed during modeling, and as shown in FIG. 5, the three-dimensional model is being modeled (as shown in FIG. 5). It has been clarified by the study of the inventor of the present application that the three-dimensional modeled object 101 (in the middle of modeling) may be peeled off (or broken) from the separation layer 102 or the support material 103. For example, when the three-dimensional model 101 is formed in a flat plate shape, the three-dimensional model 101 is warped when the three-dimensional model 101 is modeled by the printing apparatus described in Patent Document 1. Therefore, it has been clarified by the study of the inventor of the present application that the three-dimensional model 101 being modeled may be peeled off from the separation layer 102 and the support material 103.

また、造形中の三次元造形物101が分離層102やサポート材103から剥離すると、キャリッジが移動するときに、インクジェットヘッドのノズル面や平坦化ローラと三次元造形物101の積層表面とが接触して、三次元造形物101の造形不良が発生したり、印刷装置が故障したりするおそれがあることが本願発明者の検討によって明らかになった。 Further, when the three-dimensional model 101 being modeled is peeled off from the separation layer 102 or the support material 103, the nozzle surface or flattening roller of the inkjet head comes into contact with the laminated surface of the three-dimensional model 101 when the carriage moves. As a result, it has been clarified by the study of the inventor of the present application that there is a risk that a modeling defect may occur in the three-dimensional modeled object 101 or the printing apparatus may break down.

そこで、本発明の課題は、造形中の三次元造形物が、三次元造形物を支持するサポート材から剥離するのを抑制することが可能となる三次元造形物の製造方法を提供することにある。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional model that can prevent the three-dimensional model being modeled from peeling off from a support material that supports the three-dimensional model. be.

As a result, the inventor of the present application makes the thickness of the support material thicker than the normal thickness to a predetermined thickness, so that the support material can follow the deformation of the three-dimensional model during modeling without peeling.

The upper surface 4a of the modeling table 4 is a plane orthogonal to the vertical direction. An elevating mechanism for raising and lowering the modeling table 4 is connected to the modeling table 4.

本形態の三次元造形物の製造方法は、インクを造形台4の上に積層して、三次元造形物1と、三次元造形物1を支持するためのサポート材3とを形成する造形物形成工程を備えている。サポート材3は、三次元造形物1と造形台4との間に配置されるとともに、三次元造形物1の外周面を囲んでいる。また、サポート材3は、インクジェッドヘッド5から吐出されるサポート用のインクによって形成されている。三次元造形物1は、主として、インクジェットヘッド6から吐出される造形用のインクによって形成されているが、三次元造形物1の一部は、必要に応じて、インクジェットヘッド7~12から吐出される白色のインク、カラーインク、クリアインクによって形成されている。 In the method for manufacturing a three-dimensional model of this embodiment, ink is laminated on a modeling table 4 to form a three-dimensional model 1 and a support material 3 for supporting the three-dimensional model 1. It has a forming process. The support material 3 is arranged between the three-dimensional model 1 and the model table 4, and surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the three-dimensional model 1. Further, the support material 3 is formed of support ink discharged from the ink jet head 5. The three-dimensional model 1 is mainly formed of ink for modeling ejected from the inkjet head 6, but a part of the three-dimensional model 1 is ejected from the inkjet heads 7 to 12 as needed. It is formed of white ink, color ink, and clear ink.

造形物形成工程では、まず、インクジェットヘッド5が1層分のサポート材用のインクを吐出する。また、吐出されたインクに紫外線照射器14が紫外線を照射しインクを硬化させて、1つのインク層を形成した後、造形台4がインク層の厚さに相等する量、下降する。厚さt1のサポート材3が形成されるまで、この動作が繰り返されると、その後、インクジェッドヘッド5~12が1層分のインクを吐出する。吐出されたインクに紫外線照射器14が紫外線を照射しインクを硬化させて、1つのインク層を形成した後、造形台4がインク層の厚さに相等する量、下降する。この動作は、三次元造形物1が形成されるまで繰り返される。1層分のインクの厚さ(インク層の厚さ)は、たとえば、20~40(μm)となっている。 In the modeling object forming step, first, the inkjet head 5 ejects one layer of ink for a support material. Further, after the ejected ink is irradiated with ultraviolet rays by the ultraviolet irradiator 14 to cure the ink to form one ink layer, the modeling table 4 is lowered by an amount equal to the thickness of the ink layer. This operation is repeated until the support material 3 having a thickness of t1 is formed, and then the ink jet heads 5 to 12 eject one layer of ink. After the ejected ink is irradiated with ultraviolet rays by the ultraviolet irradiator 14 to cure the ink to form one ink layer, the modeling table 4 is lowered by an amount equal to the thickness of the ink layer. This operation is repeated until the three-dimensional model 1 is formed. The thickness of the ink for one layer (thickness of the ink layer) is, for example, 20 to 40 (μm).

三次元造形物1と造形台4との間のサポート材3の厚さ(具体的には、三次元造形物1の下面と造形台4の上面4aとの間のサポート材3の上下方向の厚さ)t1は、造形中の三次元造形物1の、サポート材3からの剥離を抑制できる厚さとなっている。あるいは、三次元造形物1の外周面とサポート材3の外周面との水平方向の距離であるサポート材3の厚さt2は、造形中の三次元造形物1の、サポート材3からの剥離を抑制できる厚さとなっている。 The thickness of the support material 3 between the three-dimensional model 1 and the model table 4 (specifically, the vertical direction of the support material 3 between the lower surface of the three-dimensional model object 1 and the upper surface 4a of the model table 4). Thickness) t1 is a thickness capable of suppressing peeling of the three-dimensional modeled object 1 during modeling from the support material 3. Alternatively, the thickness t2 of the support material 3, which is the horizontal distance between the outer peripheral surface of the three-dimensional model 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the support material 3, is the peeling of the three-dimensional model 1 during modeling from the support material 3. It is a thickness that can suppress.

ここで、図3の表に、三次元造形物の造形時に三次元造形物がサポート材から剥離する条件を試験した結果を示す。造形時に反りが生じてサポート材からの剥離が生じやすい三次元造形物の形状は、水平方向に造形される平板形状である。これは、紫外線照射器から照射される紫外線が、各インク層においてインク層の上部であるほど強くなるため、インク層の上部の、紫外線硬化による収縮が、インク層の下部の、紫外線硬化による収縮よりも大きくなるためと考えられる。 Here, the table of FIG. 3 shows the results of testing the conditions under which the three-dimensional model is peeled off from the support material when the three-dimensional model is modeled. The shape of the three-dimensional modeled object, which is easily warped during modeling and easily peeled off from the support material, is a flat plate shape formed in the horizontal direction. This is because the ultraviolet rays emitted from the ultraviolet irradiator become stronger toward the upper part of the ink layer in each ink layer, so that the shrinkage of the upper part of the ink layer due to ultraviolet curing is the shrinkage of the lower part of the ink layer due to ultraviolet curing. It is thought that it will be larger than.

試験では、水平方向に100mm角(縦幅および横幅が100mm)で垂直方向の厚さが4mmの平板を三次元造形物として造形するとともに、三次元造形物と造形台との間のサポート材の厚さ(サポート材の垂直方向寸法)t1と、三次元造形物の外周面とサポート材の外周面との水平方向の距離であるサポート材の厚さ(水平方向寸法)t2とをパラメータとして、三次元造形物の、サポート材からの剥離の発生具合を確認した。図3に示す表では、三次元造形物がサポート材から剥離しなかった条件の判定の欄には、「OK」を記載し、三次元造形物がサポート材から剥離した条件の判定の欄には、「NG」を記載した。図4は、図3に示す表をグラフ化したものである。図4から明らかなように、サポート材の厚さt1または厚さt2のいずれかが10mm以上であれば、三次元造形物の、サポート材からの剥離が回避されることがわかる。 In the test, a flat plate of 100 mm square (vertical and horizontal widths of 100 mm) in the horizontal direction and a thickness of 4 mm in the vertical direction was modeled as a three-dimensional model, and the support material between the three-dimensional model and the model table was formed. Using the thickness (vertical dimension of the support material) t1 and the thickness of the support material (horizontal dimension) t2, which is the horizontal distance between the outer peripheral surface of the three-dimensional model and the outer peripheral surface of the support material, as parameters. It was confirmed that the three-dimensional model was peeled off from the support material. In the table shown in FIG. 3, "OK" is described in the column for determining the condition that the three-dimensional model does not peel off from the support material, and "OK" is entered in the column for determining the condition that the three-dimensional model has peeled from the support material. Described "NG". FIG. 4 is a graph of the table shown in FIG. As is clear from FIG. 4, if either the thickness t1 or the thickness t2 of the support material is 10 mm or more, it can be seen that peeling of the three-dimensional model from the support material is avoided.

本形態では、三次元造形物1の天板の縦幅W1および横幅W2は、100mm、三次元造形物1の天板の厚さTは、4mmとなっている。したがって、本形態では、造形中の三次元造形物1の、サポート材3からの剥離を抑制するために、サポート材3の厚さt1は、10mm以上となっている。あるいは、本形態では、造形中の三次元造形物1の、サポート材3からの剥離を抑制するために、サポート材3の厚さt2は、10mm以上となっている。具体的には、サポート材3の外周面は、図1に示すように、上側に向かうにしたがって外径がしだいに小さくなる円錐台面状に形成されており、サポート材3の上端部の厚さt2が10mm以上となっている。 In this embodiment, the vertical width W1 and the horizontal width W2 of the top plate of the three-dimensional model 1 are 100 mm, and the thickness T of the top plate of the three-dimensional model 1 is 4 mm. Therefore, in this embodiment, the thickness t1 of the support material 3 is 10 mm or more in order to suppress the peeling of the three-dimensional modeled object 1 during modeling from the support material 3. Alternatively, in this embodiment, the thickness t2 of the support material 3 is 10 mm or more in order to suppress the peeling of the three-dimensional modeled object 1 during modeling from the support material 3. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the outer peripheral surface of the support material 3 is formed in a conical base surface shape in which the outer diameter gradually decreases toward the upper side, and the thickness of the upper end portion of the support material 3 is formed. t2 is 10 mm or more.

なお、サポート材3の厚さt1が、造形中の三次元造形物1の、サポート材3からの剥離を抑制できる厚さとなり、かつ、サポート材3の厚さt2が、造形中の三次元造形物1の、サポート材3からの剥離を抑制できる厚さとなっていても良い。すなわち、本形態において、サポート材3の厚さt1が10mm以上となっており、かつ、サポート材3の厚さt2が10mm以上となっていても良い。 The thickness t1 of the support material 3 is a thickness that can suppress the peeling of the three-dimensional modeled object 1 during modeling from the support material 3, and the thickness t2 of the support material 3 is the three-dimensional object during modeling. The thickness may be such that the separation of the modeled object 1 from the support material 3 can be suppressed. That is, in the present embodiment, the thickness t1 of the support material 3 may be 10 mm or more, and the thickness t2 of the support material 3 may be 10 mm or more.

造形中の三次元造形物1がサポート材3から剥離するのか否かのサポート材3の厚さt1、t2の臨界点は、三次元造形物1の形状、インクの物性、インクの吐出方法、インクの硬化強度、キャリッジ13の走査速度等の種々の条件に応じて変わる。そのため、サポート材3の厚さt1、および/または、サポート材3の厚さt2は、操作者が設定可能となっていることが好ましい。あるいは、サポート材3の厚さt1、および/または、サポート材3の厚さt2は、三次元造形物1の形状の種々の条件に応じて自動的で変更されても良い。本願発明者の検討によると、サポート材3の厚さt1、t2が厚くなれば厚くなるほど、三次元造形物1のサポート材3からの剥離を抑制することは可能になるが、インク消費の観点から、サポート材3の厚さt1、t2を不必要に厚くすることは避けるべきである。 The critical points of the thicknesses t1 and t2 of the support material 3 as to whether or not the three-dimensional model 1 during modeling is peeled off from the support material 3 are the shape of the three-dimensional model 1, the physical characteristics of the ink, the ink ejection method, and the like. It varies depending on various conditions such as the curing strength of the ink and the scanning speed of the carriage 13. Therefore, it is preferable that the thickness t1 of the support material 3 and / or the thickness t2 of the support material 3 can be set by the operator. Alternatively, the thickness t1 of the support material 3 and / or the thickness t2 of the support material 3 may be automatically changed according to various conditions of the shape of the three-dimensional model 1. According to the study of the inventor of the present application, the thicker the thicknesses t1 and t2 of the support material 3, the more it is possible to suppress the peeling of the three-dimensional model 1 from the support material 3, but from the viewpoint of ink consumption. Therefore, it should be avoided to unnecessarily increase the thicknesses t1 and t2 of the support material 3.

ここで、サポート材3が三次元造形物1を支持するために必要な厚さは、種々の造形形状に対応するため、一般的には、2mm程度である。また、インクを造形台4の上に積層して、三次元造形物1を支持するためには、最初に少なくとも三次元造形物1と造形台4との間にサポート材3による一定厚さの層を形成する必要があり、この層の厚さは、造形台4の上面の平面度を超える厚さとなっている。ここで、造形台4の上面の平面度とは、造形台4の上面の幾何学的なうねりであり、たとえば、500mm角の造形台4の上面では、0.3mm程度である。したがって、三次元造形物1と造形台4との間のサポート材3の厚さt1が2mmであれば、サポート材3の厚さt1が造形台4の上面の平面度を超えるとともに、サポート材3は三次元造形物1のサポート機能を有することになるが、本形態では、サポート材3の厚さt1は、一般的な厚さである2mmを超えた厚さとなっている。 Here, the thickness required for the support material 3 to support the three-dimensional model 1 is generally about 2 mm in order to correspond to various modeling shapes. Further, in order to support the three-dimensional model 1 by laminating ink on the model table 4, first, at least a certain thickness of the support material 3 is provided between the three-dimensional model 1 and the model table 4. It is necessary to form a layer, and the thickness of this layer exceeds the flatness of the upper surface of the modeling table 4. Here, the flatness of the upper surface of the modeling table 4 is the geometrical undulation of the upper surface of the modeling table 4, and is, for example, about 0.3 mm on the upper surface of the modeling table 4 of 500 mm square. Therefore, if the thickness t1 of the support material 3 between the three-dimensional model 1 and the modeling table 4 is 2 mm, the thickness t1 of the support material 3 exceeds the flatness of the upper surface of the modeling table 4, and the support material is used. 3 has a support function for the three-dimensional model 1, but in the present embodiment, the thickness t1 of the support material 3 exceeds the general thickness of 2 mm.

本形態では、サポート材3の厚さt1が、造形中の三次元造形物1のサポート材3からの剥離を抑制できる厚さとなっているときには、サポート材3の厚さt1は、サポート材3が三次元造形物1を支持するために必要な厚さを超える厚さとなっている。また、サポート材3の厚さt2が、造形中の三次元造形物1のサポート材3からの剥離を抑制できる厚さとなっているときには、サポート材3の厚さt2は、サポート材3が三次元造形物1を支持するために必要な厚さを超える厚さとなっている。すなわち、サポート材3の厚さt2が、造形中の三次元造形物1のサポート材3からの剥離を抑制できる厚さとなっているときには、サポート材3は、本来サポート材3が三次元造形物1を支持するために必要な領域よりも、三次元造形物1の径方向の外側に広がっている。 In this embodiment, when the thickness t1 of the support material 3 is such a thickness that can suppress the peeling of the three-dimensional modeled object 1 from the support material 3 during modeling, the thickness t1 of the support material 3 is the support material 3. Is thicker than the thickness required to support the three-dimensional model 1. Further, when the thickness t2 of the support material 3 is such that the peeling of the three-dimensional model 1 during modeling from the support material 3 can be suppressed, the thickness t2 of the support material 3 is such that the support material 3 is tertiary. The thickness exceeds the thickness required to support the original model 1. That is, when the thickness t2 of the support material 3 is such a thickness that the peeling of the three-dimensional model 1 during modeling from the support material 3 can be suppressed, the support material 3 is originally a three-dimensional model. The area required to support 1 extends outward in the radial direction of the three-dimensional model 1.

(本形態の主な効果)
以上説明したように、本形態の三次元造形物の製造方法では、三次元造形物1と造形台4との間のサポート材3の厚さt1は、造形中の三次元造形物1の、サポート材3からの剥離を抑制できる厚さとなっている。あるいは、本形態の三次元造形物の製造方法では、三次元造形物1の外周面とサポート材3の外周面との水平方向の距離であるサポート材3の厚さt2は、造形中の三次元造形物1の、サポート材3からの剥離を抑制できる厚さとなっている。そのため、本形態の三次元造形物の製造方法で三次元造形物1を製造すると、造形中の三次元造形物1がサポート材3から剥離するのを抑制することが可能になる。
(Main effect of this form)
As described above, in the method for manufacturing a three-dimensional model of the present embodiment, the thickness t1 of the support material 3 between the three-dimensional model 1 and the model table 4 is the thickness t1 of the three-dimensional model 1 being modeled. The thickness is such that peeling from the support material 3 can be suppressed. Alternatively, in the method for manufacturing a three-dimensional model of the present embodiment, the thickness t2 of the support material 3, which is the horizontal distance between the outer peripheral surface of the three-dimensional model 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the support material 3, is the tertiary during modeling. The thickness is such that the peeling of the original model 1 from the support material 3 can be suppressed. Therefore, when the three-dimensional model 1 is manufactured by the method for manufacturing the three-dimensional model of the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the three-dimensional model 1 during modeling from peeling off from the support material 3.

特に本形態では、三次元造形物1と造形台4との間のサポート材3の厚さt1が10mm以上となっているため、あるいは、サポート材3の厚さt2が10mm以上となっているため、本願発明者の検討によれば、造形中の三次元造形物1の変形に追従可能なサポート材3の変形量をより大きくして、造形中の三次元造形物1がサポート材3から剥離するのを効果的に抑制することが可能になる。 In particular, in this embodiment, the thickness t1 of the support material 3 between the three-dimensional model 1 and the modeling table 4 is 10 mm or more, or the thickness t2 of the support material 3 is 10 mm or more. Therefore, according to the study of the inventor of the present application, the amount of deformation of the support material 3 capable of following the deformation of the three-dimensional model 1 during modeling is made larger, and the three-dimensional model 1 during modeling is transferred from the support material 3. It becomes possible to effectively suppress the peeling.

なお、本形態において、サポート材3が三次元造形物1の外周面を囲んでいなくても、三次元造形物1を造形することができるのであれば、サポート材3は、三次元造形物1の外周面を囲んでいなくても良い。すなわち、サポート材3は、三次元造形物1と造形台4との間のみに配置されていても良い。 In this embodiment, if the support material 3 can form the three-dimensional model 1 even if the support material 3 does not surround the outer peripheral surface of the three-dimensional model 1, the support material 3 is the three-dimensional model. It is not necessary to surround the outer peripheral surface of 1. That is, the support material 3 may be arranged only between the three-dimensional model 1 and the model table 4.

(三次元造形物の製造方法の変形例)
上述した形態では、造形物形成工程において、三次元造形物1の形状等によっては、造形中の三次元造形物1がサポート材3から剥離することが起こりうる。造形物形成工程において、サポート材3から三次元造形物1が剥離したときには、造形台4から三次元造形物1とサポート材3とを除去するとともに(除去工程)、除去工程後に、サポート材3の厚さt1が造形物形成工程におけるサポート材3の厚さt1よりも厚くなるように設定変更して、再度、インクを造形台4の上に積層して、三次元造形物1とサポート材3とを形成すれば良い(第2造形物形成工程)。
(Modification example of manufacturing method of 3D model)
In the above-mentioned form, in the modeling object forming step, depending on the shape of the three-dimensional modeling object 1, the three-dimensional modeling object 1 being modeled may be peeled off from the support material 3. When the three-dimensional model 1 is peeled off from the support material 3 in the model forming step, the three-dimensional model 1 and the support material 3 are removed from the modeling table 4 (removal step), and the support material 3 is removed after the removal step. The thickness t1 of the above is changed to be thicker than the thickness t1 of the support material 3 in the modeling object forming process, and the ink is laminated on the modeling table 4 again to form the three-dimensional modeling object 1 and the support material. 3 and 3 may be formed (second model formation step).

具体的には、造形物形成工程において、サポート材3から三次元造形物1が剥離したときには、第2造形物形成工程において、サポート材3の厚さt1をより厚く設定し、再度、インクを造形台4の上に積層して、三次元造形物1とサポート材3とを形成すれば良い。この場合には、第2造形物形成工程において、造形中の三次元造形物1の変形に追従可能なサポート材3の変形量を大きくして、造形中の三次元造形物1がサポート材3から剥離するのを抑制することが可能になる。 Specifically, when the three-dimensional model 1 is peeled off from the support material 3 in the model forming step, the thickness t1 of the support material 3 is set to be thicker in the second model forming step, and the ink is applied again. The three-dimensional model 1 and the support material 3 may be formed by laminating them on the modeling table 4. In this case, in the second modeled object forming step, the amount of deformation of the support material 3 that can follow the deformation of the three-dimensional modeled object 1 during modeling is increased, and the three-dimensional modeled object 1 during modeling is the support material 3. It becomes possible to suppress peeling from.

また、造形物形成工程において、サポート材3から三次元造形物1が剥離したときには、除去工程後に、サポート材3の厚さt2が造形物形成工程におけるサポート材3の厚さt2よりも厚くなるように設定変更して、再度、インクを造形台4の上に積層して、三次元造形物1とサポート材3とを形成すれば良い(第2造形物形成工程)。具体的には、造形物形成工程において、サポート材3から三次元造形物1が剥離したときには、第2造形物形成工程において、サポート材3の厚さt2をより厚く設定し、再度、インクを造形台4の上に積層して、三次元造形物1とサポート材3とを形成すれば良い。 Further, when the three-dimensional model 1 is peeled off from the support material 3 in the model forming step, the thickness t2 of the support material 3 becomes thicker than the thickness t2 of the support material 3 in the model forming step after the removal step. The setting may be changed as described above, and the ink may be laminated on the modeling table 4 again to form the three-dimensional modeling object 1 and the support material 3 (second modeling object forming step). Specifically, when the three-dimensional model 1 is peeled off from the support material 3 in the model forming step, the thickness t2 of the support material 3 is set to be thicker in the second model forming step, and the ink is applied again. The three-dimensional model 1 and the support material 3 may be formed by laminating them on the modeling table 4.

この場合であっても、第2造形物形成工程において、造形中の三次元造形物1の変形に追従可能なサポート材3の変形量を大きくして、造形中の三次元造形物1がサポート材3から剥離するのを抑制することが可能になる。すなわち、この場合であっても、造形中の三次元造形物1の変形に追従可能なサポート材3の変形量を大きくして、造形中の三次元造形物1がサポート材3から剥離するのを抑制することが可能になる。 Even in this case, in the second modeled object forming step, the amount of deformation of the support material 3 that can follow the deformation of the three-dimensional modeled object 1 during modeling is increased, and the three-dimensional modeled object 1 during modeling is supported. It becomes possible to suppress peeling from the material 3. That is, even in this case, the amount of deformation of the support material 3 capable of following the deformation of the three-dimensional model 1 during modeling is increased, and the three-dimensional model 1 during modeling is peeled off from the support material 3. Can be suppressed.

また、造形物形成工程において、サポート材3から三次元造形物1が剥離したときには、除去工程後に、サポート材3の厚さt1とサポート材3の厚さt2とをより大きく設定し、再度、インクを造形台4の上に積層して、三次元造形物1とサポート材3とを形成しても良い。この場合には、造形中の三次元造形物1の変形に追従可能なサポート材3の変形量をより大きくして、造形中の三次元造形物1がサポート材3から剥離するのを効果的に抑制することが可能になる。 Further, when the three-dimensional model 1 is peeled off from the support material 3 in the model forming step, the thickness t1 of the support material 3 and the thickness t2 of the support material 3 are set larger after the removal step, and the thickness t2 of the support material 3 is set to be larger again. Ink may be laminated on the modeling table 4 to form the three-dimensional modeling object 1 and the support material 3. In this case, it is effective to increase the amount of deformation of the support material 3 that can follow the deformation of the three-dimensional model 1 during modeling, and to separate the three-dimensional model 1 during modeling from the support material 3. It becomes possible to suppress it.
