1. A three-dimensional modeling apparatus, comprising:
a stage; a regulating body which has a surface including a linear region that extends along a first direction and is arranged to face the stage so that the linear region of the surface comes closest to the stage; a supply nozzle configured to supply a liquid material to be cured by energy of an energy beam to a slit region which is a region between the stage and the linear region; a movement mechanism configured to move the stage relative to the regulating body along a second direction to form a cured layer of the liquid material for at least one layer; an irradiation unit configured to irradiate the liquid material supplied from the supply nozzle to the slit region with the energy beam under a state in which the stage and the regulating body rest relative to each other; and an open top waste container positioned to capture uncured liquid material, wherein,
the stage includes a plane extending in the first and second directions,the energy beam is directed along a third direction,the second direction is a vertical direction,the waste container is positioned so that it is intersected by the plane of the stage, and the uncured liquid material can fall into the waste container, andthe first, second and third directions are orthogonal to each other. |
