<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for producing a three-dimensional molding by which production time is reduced and the flexibility of the production and the quality of the molding are improved. <P>SOLUTION: The three-dimensional molding is produced by continuously compacting the layers of a fine powder molding material (57). The fine powder molding material (57) is solidified by electromagnetic radiation or particle radiation at the positions corresponding to the respective cross-sections of each molding (52). The apparatus comprises: a beam source (16) for generating a beam; a beam deflection device (18) for deflecting the beam onto the layer to be solidified, and a carrier arranged inside a treatment chamber (21) for receiving the molding(52) to be formed. At least two working stations (21, 24) are formed inside one treatment chamber (28) each time. The treatment chamber (28) is designed so as to be hermetically sealed and locked for separating them each other, and the deviation device (18) and the at least two working stations (21, 24) are placed on working positions, respectively. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
