THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOLDING APPARATUS, THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOLDING METHOD, AND MOLDING MATERIAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a three-dimensional molding apparatus, in which a support material can be easily and rapidly removed without damaging or deforming a molded three-dimensional molded object, a three-dimensional molding method, and a molding material.SOLUTION: The three-dimensional molding apparatus forms a three-dimensional molded object by repeating a process of injecting at least one of first and second molding materials onto a molding stage to form a molding material layer comprising at least one of a model region and a support region so as to stack a plurality of molding material layers. The second molding material is a support material having thixotropic property that shows decrease in viscosity when a mechanical action is imparted to the material.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
