APPARATUS FOR MODELING THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT AND METHOD FOR MODELING THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT

摘要

An apparatus for modeling a three-dimensional object configured to model a three-dimensional object by a lamination modeling method includes a head for coloring, a head for modeling, a pair of flattening rollers and a main scanning driving unit. The main scanning driving unit is configured to enable at least the head for modeling to perform a main scanning operation in a first direction, which is one side direction of a main scanning direction, and at least the head for coloring to perform the main scanning operation in a second direction, which is the other side direction of the main scanning direction. The one flattening roller of the pair of flattening rollers flattens the three-dimensional object being modeled when the main scanning operation in the first direction is performed, and the other flattening roller flattens the three-dimensional object being modeled when the main scanning operation in the second direction is performed.

1. An apparatus for modeling a three-dimensional object configured to model a three-dimensional object by a lamination modeling method, the apparatus comprising:
a head for coloring, which is an inkjet head configured to form an area of the three-dimensional object, which is to be colored with a predetermined color, by an ink for coloring; a head for modeling, which is an inkjet head configured to form at least an inner area of the three-dimensional object; at least a pair of flattening rollers configured to flatten the three-dimensional object being modeled, and a main scanning driving unit configured to enable the head for coloring and the head for modeling to perform a main scanning operation of ejecting ink droplets while moving in a preset main scanning direction, wherein the main scanning driving unit is configured to enable:
at least the head for modeling to perform the main scanning operation in a first direction, which is one side direction of the main scanning direction, andat least the head for coloring to perform the main scanning operation in a second direction, which is the other side direction of the main scanning direction, and wherein the one flattening roller of the pair of flattening rollers flattens the three-dimensional object being modeled when the main scanning operation in the first direction is performed, and the other flattening roller of the pair of flattening rollers flattens the three-dimensional object being modeled when the main scanning operation in the second direction is performed.
