发明名称 THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING APPARATUS, THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
摘要 The color of object data that indicates the shape and the color of an object is reproduced faithfully when modeling an object. A model is formed by discharging droplets having the same color from droplet discharging units onto a medium, based on the same reference signal. Colorimetry is performed on the model, and a first-portion and a second-portion having a color with a higher density are specified. The liquid amount of droplets per unit area to be discharged from droplets discharging units that formed the first-portion and the liquid amount of droplets per unit area to be discharged from droplets discharging units that formed the second-portion are adjusted such that a difference in density of colors to be reproduced decreases. The object is modeled by repeating processing for discharging droplets from the droplet discharging units based on the object data.

主权项 1. A three-dimensional modeling apparatus for modeling an object by discharging droplets, the three-dimensional modeling apparatus comprising: a plurality of droplet discharging units capable of individually discharging droplets; a supporting unit that supports a structure made of the droplets; a scan unit capable of moving the plurality of droplet discharging units relative to the supporting unit in a first direction intersecting a discharging direction of the droplets, and in a second direction intersecting the discharging direction of the droplets and the first direction; and a control unit that controls the droplet discharging units, the supporting unit, and the scan unit, wherein the control unit includes: a model forming unit that forms a model by discharging droplets having the same predetermined color from the plurality of droplet discharging units based on the same reference signal; a colorimetry unit that performs colorimetry of the model and specifies a first portion of the model and a second portion of the model that has a color with a higher density than the first portion; an adjustment unit that adjusts at least one of the liquid amount of droplets per unit area to be discharged from, among the plurality of droplet discharging units, a first type droplet discharging unit that formed the first portion, and the liquid amount of droplets per unit area to be discharged from, among the plurality of droplet discharging units, a second type droplet discharging unit that formed the second portion, such that a difference in density of colors to be reproduced by the first type and the second type droplet discharging units decreases; and a modeling unit that models the object by repeating processing for discharging droplets from the plurality of droplet discharging units based on object data that indicates the shape and the color of the object and forming a plate-like structure to newly form the plate-like structure on a plate-like structure that has already been formed.
