- the proximal-side contour surface 50A When the proximal-side contour surface 50A 'has the same shape as the uneven surface 100A, heat transfer from the cooling medium path 50 to the cavity forming surface can be made more uniform. That is, when the three-dimensional shaped object 100 obtained by the manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention is used as a mold (see FIG. 2), heat transfer due to the cooling medium path 50 is more likely to be uniform, and molding is performed. The non-uniform heat removal of the raw material is effectively reduced. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent a decrease in shape accuracy in the final molded product.
- the separation distance between the proximal contour surface 50A 'and the uneven surface 100A is preferably constant. That is, the proximal-side contour surface 50A ′ of the cooling medium passage 50 has a shape in which the shape of the surface 100A of the three-dimensional shaped object 100 is “offset”.
- “the separation distance is constant” means a normal line connecting the “proximal side contour surface 50A ′ of the cooling medium passage 50” and the “uneven surface 100A of the three-dimensional shaped object 100” facing each other. Means that they have the same length at any point.

- the heat transfer from the cooling medium path 50 of the mold to the mold cavity portion is in a direction along the proximal side contour surface 50A ′. It will be uniform. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent a decrease in shape accuracy in the final molded product obtained from such a mold.
- the cooling medium path is formed in the middle of the lamination of the solidified layer. Specifically, in the course of laminating a solidified layer by alternately repeating powder layer formation and solid layer formation as a powder sintering lamination method, by not solidifying some local regions as non-irradiated parts A cooling medium path can be formed. Since the non-irradiated part corresponds to a portion where the light beam is not irradiated in the “region where the three-dimensional shaped object is formed” defined in the powder layer, the “non-irradiated part” is “powder not forming a solidified layer”. Remains after light beam irradiation.
- the cooling medium path is obtained by finally removing the remaining powder from the three-dimensional shaped object.

- the local portion 150 (see FIG. 3A) of the molding raw material located in the vicinity of the top side corner portion 100B ′ is particularly heat-removal. It will be hard to be done. When such a portion that is difficult to remove heat is present, local warping tends to occur in the finally obtained molded product. That is, there is a possibility that a phenomenon occurs in which the molded product partially warps from such a place where heat removal is difficult. Therefore, it is preferable to position the cooling medium path 50 at the top surface side corner portion 100B 'of the convex local portion 100B in order to positively exert a cooling action on the portion. This promotes uniform heat removal to the local portion 150 of the molding material and effectively reduces “local warpage” in the final molded product.
- the “convex local portion” refers to a portion that particularly forms a raised portion on the uneven surface 100A of the three-dimensional shaped object 100. Assuming the case where the three-dimensional shaped object 100 is used as a mold, the raised portion of the cavity forming surface that forms the mold cavity portion corresponds to the convex local portion 100B (see FIG. 3A).

- proximal side contour surface 50A ′ in addition to making the proximal side contour surface 50A ′ the same shape as the concavo-convex surface 100A macroscopically, in addition to microscopically, “a plurality of fine recesses” are formed on the proximal side contour surface 50A ′.
- a fine shape 51 "composed of 51 ' is formed. Therefore, the heat transfer from the cooling medium path 50 to the cavity forming surface can be made more uniform and efficient, and the shape accuracy of the final molded product can be improved when the three-dimensional shaped object 100 is used as a mold. Reduction can be prevented more effectively.
- the “fine recess” means a fine depression extending toward the center of the cooling medium path 50.
- the shape of the fine recess is not particularly limited, and may be any shape as long as the surface area of the proximal contour surface 50A 'is increased.
- Such a fine recess is formed by leaving a non-irradiated portion when forming the solidified layer, and is preferably obtained along with the formation of the cooling medium path. More specifically, the non-irradiated part is left locally when forming one or more solidified layers corresponding to the height level of the fine recess to be formed, and the locally non-irradiated part A fine recess can be obtained by finally removing the remaining powder.
- the fine shape 51 is composed of such a fine recess 51 ′, but different types of fine shapes 51 may be included in the proximal contour surface 50 ⁇ / b> A ′.

- the fine shape 51a and the fine shape 51b have different surface areas, resulting in a difference in the way heat is transferred from the cooling medium path 50 to the uneven surface 100A.
- “different types of fine shapes” means that the shapes of the fine recesses constituting the fine shapes (such as the depth of the recess and the width of the recesses) are different, and the pitches of the plurality of fine recesses are different. At least one of the differences is substantially meant.
- a heat transfer member is provided between the proximal contour surface of the cooling medium path and the uneven surface of the three-dimensional shaped object in the three-dimensional shaped object. Good.

によって粉末層形成および固化層形成を交互に繰り返し行って三次元形状造形物を製造する方法であって、
三次元形状造形物の製造において、冷却媒体路を三次元形状造形物の内部に形成すると共に、三次元形状造形物の表面を凹凸状に形成し、また、
冷却媒体路の輪郭面の一部と凹凸状の表面とを互いに同一形状にすることを特徴とする、三次元形状造形物の製造方法が提供される。
三次元形状造形物の表面が凹凸状を有し、冷却媒体路の輪郭面の一部と凹凸状の表面とが互いに同一形状になっていることを特徴とする三次元形状造形物も提供される。
まず、本発明の製造方法の前提となる粉末焼結積層法について説明する。特に粉末焼結積層法において三次元形状造形物の切削処理を付加的に行う光造形複合加工を例として挙げる。図6は、光造形複合加工のプロセス態様を模式的に示しており、図7および図8は、粉末焼結積層法と切削処理とを実施できる光造形複合加工機1の主たる構成および動作のフローチャートをそれぞれ示している。
本発明の製造方法は、上述した粉末焼結積層法のうち、固化層の積層化に関連した態様に特徴を有している。
本発明の一実施形態に係る製造方法では、三次元形状造形物の内部に形成する冷却媒体路の位置は、三次元形状造形物を金型として用いた際の“局所的な除熱”の観点から決めてよい。この点、本発明の一実施形態に係る製造方法では、凹凸状の表面100Aのコーナー部分に冷却媒体路50を位置付けることが好ましい(図3(A)および図3(B)参照)。より好ましくは、図3(A)に示されるように、「凹凸状に起因して形成される三次元形状造形物100の凸状局所部100Bの天面側コーナー部分100B’」に冷却媒体路50を位置付ける。
本発明の一実施形態に係る製造方法では、冷却媒体路50の輪郭面50Aに微細形状を付与してもよい。具体的には、図4に示すように、冷却媒体路50の近位側輪郭面50A’において複数の微細陥部51’から成る微細形状51を形成してよい。このような微細形状51が形成されると近位側輪郭面50A’の表面積を大きくすることができ、冷却媒体路50からの伝熱がより効率的となる。かかる態様では、巨視的には近位側輪郭面50A’を凹凸状の表面100Aと同一形状にすることに加えて、微視的には近位側輪郭面50A’に「複数の微細陥部51’から成る微細形状51」を形成する。従って、冷却媒体路50からキャビティ形成面への伝熱をより均一かつ効率的にすることができ、三次元形状造形物100が金型として使用される場合に最終的な成形品の形状精度の低下をより効果的に防止できる。
本発明の一実施形態に係る製造方法では、三次元形状造形物の内部において冷却媒体路の近位側輪郭面と三次元形状造形物の凹凸状の表面との間に伝熱部材を設けてよい。
本発明の一実施形態に係る製造方法では、粉末焼結積層法以外の手法を組み合わせて固化層形成を行ってよい。つまり、粉末焼結積層法とそれ以外の固化層形成手法と組み合わせたハイブリッド方式で固化層形成を実施してよい。
本発明の一実施形態に係る製造方法において、冷却媒体路は、その断面形状が延在方向に沿って相似変化するように設けてもよい。つまり、冷却媒体路の断面形状が冷却媒体路の延在方向において相似変化するように冷却媒体路を延在させてよい。特に本発明では、冷却媒体路の断面形状が延在方向に沿って相似変化する場合、任意の箇所における冷却媒体路の輪郭面の一部(好ましくは近位側輪郭面)と三次元形状造形物の凹凸状の表面との離隔距離を一定にすることが好ましい。ここでいう「任意の箇所」とは、具体的には延在方向に沿った冷却媒体路の任意の箇所を意味する。これによって、三次元形状造形物を金型として使用する場合、かかる任意の箇所における冷却媒体路の除熱効果をより均一にすることができる。
本発明の三次元形状造形物は上述の製造方法で得られるものである。従って、本発明の三次元形状造形物は、粉末層に対する光ビーム照射で形成される固化層が積層して構成されている。図1に示されるように、本発明の三次元形状造形物100は、その内部に冷却媒体路50を備えており、表面100Aが凹凸状を有すると共に、冷却媒体路50の輪郭面50Aの一部と凹凸状の表面100Aとが互いに同一形状になっている特徴を有している。かかる特徴に起因して、より適した除熱特性が呈され、特に三次元形状造形物100を金型として使用する場合、冷却媒体路50からキャビティ形成面への伝熱(冷却のための伝熱)がより均一となる。
