METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOLDING

摘要

A manufacturing apparatus (10) fabricates three-dimensional moldings using additive layer fabrication following the shape of a support material provided on a shaping plate on the basis of modeling data stored in a storage unit (79). Next, multiple three-dimensional moldings on which support material is fixed are immersed in a solution, etc. to remove the support material. Then, various determining sections (83-85) of the manufacturing apparatus (10) perform respective comparisons of the external form, interior observation, and mass of the three-dimensional moldings after the support material has been removed on the basis of the modeling data to identify the three-dimensional moldings. As a result, when manufacturing multiple three-dimensional moldings, it is possible to identify individual three-dimensional moldings on the basis of the modeling data even if the multiple three-dimensional moldings are mixed in the step for removing the support material.
