THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To carry out desired printing to a surface for a printing object with the surface of a three dimensional shape.

SOLUTION: The printer is equipped with a first supporting member 10 supported on a base to be freely movable in the X-axis direction; a second supporting member 15 supported on the first supporting member 10 to be freely movable in the Z-axis direction; a third supporting member 20 supported sliding in contact with a cylindrical front surface of the second supporting member 15 to be freely rotatable centering a first rotation axis Y0 located on an internal space and extended in the Y-axis direction; a holding chuck 26 supported on the third supporting member 20 to be freely rotatable centering a second rotation axis X0 orthogonal at a predetermined point O1 on the internal space to the first rotation axis Y0, holding the printing object 80; and a printer head set on the base and supported to be movable in the Y-axis direction above the printing object 80. Ejection of an ink from the printer head is carried out by controlling movement and rotation of the first-third supporting members and holding chuck 26 and controlling movement of the printer head.
