【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、インクジェット方式で立体造形物を容易に作製するの三次元造形装置及び造形方法に係るもので、更に詳しくは造形後のモデル材とサポート材の分離法に関して両者の界面での剥離を容易にする方法に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
三次元造形する方法として、インクジェット方式で固体インクを用いて三次元造形する方法が知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。また、サポート材に固体インクを使用し、モデル材（造形材）にＵＶインクを用いて製品化するといった報告がなされている（例えば、非特許文献１参照）。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
これまで、モデル材及びサポート材を用いて造形する三次元造形方法においては、製品となるモデル材を取り出すため、モデル材の周囲に存在する全サポート材を、有機溶媒を用いて溶解させるか、もしくは加熱して融解させなければならなかった。
【０００５】
例えば、図２に示すように、まず、サポート材用ノズル２４から固体インク２５を吐出させ、次いでモデル用ノズル２３からモデル材２７を吐出させる。そして、再度、サポート材用ノズル２４から固体インク１５を吐出させる。この工程を走査して、平面内に厚み数１０μｍの２．５次元の図形を描写させる。これを垂直軸方向に積層させて立体モデルを作製する。その後、モデル材２７と不用となるサポート材２５とを分離する。通常、サポート材２５は溶融させるか、薬液によって除去されるが、除去できなかった分、例えば図２のＡの領域は手作業で掻き取らなければならない。
【０００６】
しかしながら、昨今の環境負荷低減が叫ばれている状況下では、溶剤の使用を極力押さえこまなければならず、かつ省エネルギにも最大限注意を払わねばならなくなってきている。更に、手で掻き取るという効率の悪さを解消しない限り、三次元造形装置の普及は見込めない。
【０００７】
以上より、本発明は、三次元造形を行なった後、容易にモデル材とサポート材を分離させ得るアイディアの創生を課題とする。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
市販のインクジェットプリンタに見られるように当プリンタは４色から７色まで自由に吐出できる。このようにインクジェットは、特性の異なる液体を容易に吐出できる。この特徴を利用して、サポート材とモデル材の間に、離型性の特性を持った第２のサポート材を吐出、積層させた積層サポート材を考案し、従来のサポート材を全部融解又は溶解することなく、モデル材とサポート材の分離を容易にするものである。
【０００９】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明について図面を用いて説明する。
〔実施例１〕
まず、インクジェット方式の三次元造形装置について、図１の本発明の主要を構成する垂直断面図を用いて説明する。
【００１０】
図において、１はプリントヘッドである。このプリントヘッドの動作は、卑近な例として挙げれば、印刷に用いる市販の圧電素子方式のインクジェットプリントヘッドを想像すれば良い。そして、本発明では、市販のインクジェットプリンタで用いる水性インクの代わりに、室温ではクレヨンのように固体であるが、吐出時には加熱溶融させて融液にされることにより吐出可能な粘度となる固体インクや、紫外線硬化型インク等を用いる。
【００１１】
プリントヘッド１には、複数のノズルが設けられた３種類のノズル列が存在する。このうち、ノズル列２には離型性能を有する第２のサポート材、ノズル列３にはモデル材（造形材）、ノズル列４は造形物の型を形成する第１のサポート材となる液が蓄えられている。また、プリントヘッド１は図示しない移動手段により、図中、左右方向に往復移動し、この往復移動の過程で、夫々の材料を任意に吐出するよう制御されている。このプリントヘッド１によって作製された造形物８は、第２のサポート材７を介して第１のサポート材６に支持された状態で保持されている。
【００１２】
次に、インクジェット方式の三次元造形の製造方法について説明する。
【００１３】
図１において、最終的に製品となる部材はモデル材８である。三次元造形法では、造形前の事前準備として、対象とするモデルを水平面で薄くスライシングして２．５次元にデータ処理して積み上げていく手法を取っている。従って、形状が入り組んでいて出っ張っている個所には、その下側にサポート材６といわれる材料をあてがいながら積み上げていくようにデータ処理する。通常、スライシングする厚みは数１０μｍである。
【００１４】
図示しないコンピュータから、事前準備で２．５次元にスライスされたデータが送信されてくると、図示しない駆動手段でもって、ノズル列２、ノズル列３、ノズル列４の各ノズルから、夫々所定の液滴５が吐出されて、平面上に画像を描画する。ここで、各ノズル列の吐出液量は、液滴の凝固時に数１０μｍの厚みとなるように調整される。本発明のように、固体インクや紫外線硬化型インクを用いると、吐出した液滴が盛り上がった状態となり、これを積み重ねていくことで立体像を形成させる。
【００１５】
図３に、各液滴の吐出工程及び吐出された液滴の状態を示す。まず、第１のサポート材用ノズル列４から固体インク１５を吐出させる。次いで、第２のサポート材用ノズル２列から離型剤を含んだ液１６を吐出させる。本例では、離型剤としてフッ素系離型剤を用いた。更に、モデル材用ノズル列３からモデル材１７を吐出させる。そして、再度、第２のサポート材用ノズル列２から離型剤を含んだ液１６を吐出後、第１のサポート材用ノズル列４から固体インク１５を吐出させる。この工程により、平面内に厚み数１０μｍの２．５次元の図形を描写させる。これを垂直軸方向に積層させて立体モデルを作製すると、図１のような造形物が作られる。その後、不用となる第１のサポート材６とモデル材８を分離させるが、従来法と異なり、図３のＢの領域に示すように、第１のサポート材１５とモデル材１７との境界には離型剤１６が介在するので、何らの溶剤を使用することなく、手作業であっても容易に分離できるようになる。
〔実施例２〕
本例では第１のサポート材４６とモデル材４８との分離を、冷却により行なう方法を検討した。
以下、図４を用いて説明する。
実施例１と同様の方法で作製したモデル材４８と第１のサポート材４６が未分離の状態の造形物を、−２５℃で設定されている冷凍庫４０に入れて硬化させた。ここで、第１のサポート材としては、モデル材よりも低温で脆化し易い材料を選定しておく。本実施例では、第１のサポート材にカルナバワックス等を主成分としたワックス系の材料、モデル材にはプロピレン樹脂を用いた。十分に冷えたと確認できた後、冷蔵庫から造形物を取り出し、機械的打撃を加えた。すると、第１のサポート材４６に多数のクラック４１が形成された。このようにして離型層となる第２のサポート材４７を介して、第１のサポート材４６をモデル材４８から容易に分離できる。このとき、第１のサポート材４６が固体の断片のため、掃除等の後処理が極めて容易になる。なお、本例では冷凍庫を用いて冷却したが、液体窒素に入れたり、冷凍圧縮空気を吹き付ける手法でも同等の効果を期待できる。
〔実施例３〕
本例では第２のサポート材のみを熱で溶解する方法を検討した。
まず、実施例１と同様の方法で造形物を形成するが、このとき第２のサポート材５７には、モデル材５８と第１のサポート材５６よりも低融点の成分を含んだ材料を用いた。また、造形の際には、図５に示すように、第１のサポート材５６の一部に第２のサポート材と同質の材料でドレイン用溝５２を形成した。造形物を作製した後、受け皿５３に入れて加熱炉内で造形物を加熱すると、低融点の成分を含んだ第２のサポート材５７のみが溶解し、第１のサポート材５６に予め設けたドレイン用溝５２から流出させることができた。これにより、第２のサポート材５７のみ溶解して、モデル材５８と第１のサポート材５６との境界にギャップが形成される。このギャップにより、第１のサポート材５６とモデル材５８とを容易に分離できる。
〔実施例４〕
本例では第２のサポート材のみを薬剤で溶解する方法を検討した。
まず、実施例１と同様の方法で造形物を形成するが、このとき第２のサポート材５７にはアセトンで容易に溶解する成分を含んだ材料を用い、モデル材５８と第１のサポート材５６にはアセトンで容易に溶解する成分を含めないようにした。また、造形の際には、図５に示すように、第１のサポート材５６の一部に第２のサポート材と同質の材料でドレイン用溝５２を形成した。造形物を作製した後、図５に示す様に、受け皿１３に入れて表面からアセトンを流したところ、第２のサポート材５７のみ溶解して、モデル材５８と第１のサポート材５６との境界にはギャップが形成された。このギャップにより、第１のサポート材５６とモデル材５８とを容易に分離できる。なお、本例では溶解用の薬剤としてアセトンを用いたが、第２のサポート材を選択的に溶解させる液体であれば、本実施例の主旨を達成できる。
〔実施例５〕
本実施例では第１のサポート材とモデル材との熱膨張差を利用して分離する方法について検討した。
造形物を作製する方法は実施例１と同様である。ここでは第１のサポート材を低熱膨張材にする手法について述べる。第１のサポート材として、固体インクに直径０．１μｍのシリカからなるフィラーを１０％添加し、表面張力、粘度等インクジェットで吐出可能となるように調整した。この調整により、第１のサポート材はモデル材よりも熱膨張係数が７ｐｐｍ小さくなった。なお、第２のサポート材はフッ素系離型剤を用いている。造形物を作製した後、図４に示した冷凍機を用いて−７０℃まで冷却したところ、モデル材が若干収縮し、第１のサポート材から容易に分離できた。なお、分離されたモデル材は室温に戻すと元の形状に戻る。
〔実施例６〕
本実施例では第２のサポート材のみを吸収する電磁波のエネルギで溶解する方法を検討した。
第２のサポート材には、電磁波を吸収するフィラーを添加した。本実施例ではカーボンの微粉末を１０％添加した。更に、第２のサポート材に前記フィラーを均一分散させて、なおかつ、表面張力、粘度等インクジェットで吐出可能な固体インクに調整した。
第２のサポート材にとして電磁波のエネルギを吸収させるためのフィラーを添加し、実施例１と同様の方法で造形物を作製した後、図６に示す様に５００ｋＨｚ高周波を印加して、誘導加熱方式で第２のサポート材６７の中のカーボンを加熱し、この熱で第２のサポート材６７を溶融させ、第１のサポート材６６に予め設けておいた第２のサポート材と同質の材料で形成されたドレイン用溝６２から、第２のサポート材６７のみを流出させる。第２のサポート材６７流出した結果、モデル材６８と第１のサポート材６６との境界にギャップが形成される。その後は主サポート材を割ることによって容易にモデル材と分離できる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a three-dimensional molding apparatus and a molding method for easily producing a three-dimensional molded object by an ink jet method, and more particularly, to a method of separating a model material and a support material after molding at the interface between the two. How to make it easier.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a method of performing three-dimensional modeling, a method of performing three-dimensional modeling using solid ink by an inkjet method is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). Further, there is a report that a solid ink is used as a support material and a product is manufactured using a UV ink as a model material (molding material) (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1).
[0003]

US Patent No. 4,992,806 [Non-Patent Document 1]
Published by Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, "Mold Technology", September 2001, Volume 16, No. 10, 43-45
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Until now, in the three-dimensional modeling method of modeling using a model material and a support material, in order to take out the model material to be a product, all the support materials existing around the model material are dissolved using an organic solvent, Or it had to be heated and melted.
[0005]
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, first, the solid ink 25 is ejected from the support material nozzle 24, and then the model material 27 is ejected from the model nozzle 23. Then, the solid ink 15 is ejected from the support material nozzle 24 again. By scanning this process, a 2.5-dimensional figure having a thickness of several tens of μm is drawn in a plane. This is laminated in the vertical axis direction to produce a three-dimensional model. After that, the model material 27 and the unnecessary support material 25 are separated. Normally, the support material 25 is melted or removed by a chemical solution. However, the unremovable portion, for example, the region A in FIG. 2 must be manually scraped off.
[0006]
However, in a situation where reduction of environmental load has been called for recently, use of a solvent must be suppressed as much as possible, and maximum attention must be paid to energy saving. Further, unless the inefficiency of scraping by hand is eliminated, the spread of the three-dimensional printing apparatus cannot be expected.
[0007]
As described above, an object of the present invention is to create an idea that can easily separate a model material and a support material after performing three-dimensional printing.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As can be seen in commercially available inkjet printers, this printer can freely discharge from four to seven colors. Thus, the ink jet can easily discharge liquids having different characteristics. Utilizing this feature, a second support material having a releasability characteristic is ejected between the support material and the model material, and a laminated support material is devised. This facilitates separation of the model material and the support material without melting.
[0009]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[Example 1]
First, an ink-jet type three-dimensional printing apparatus will be described with reference to a vertical sectional view of FIG.
[0010]
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a print head. The operation of this print head can be imagined as a simple example of a commercially available piezoelectric element type ink jet print head used for printing. In the present invention, instead of the water-based ink used in a commercially available ink jet printer, a solid ink which is solid at room temperature, such as crayon, is heated and melted to form a molten liquid at the time of discharge, and has a viscosity capable of being discharged. Alternatively, an ultraviolet curable ink or the like is used.
[0011]
The print head 1 has three types of nozzle rows provided with a plurality of nozzles. Among them, the nozzle row 2 has a second support material having mold release performance, the nozzle row 3 has a model material (molding material), and the nozzle row 4 has a liquid as a first support material forming a mold of a molded article. Is stored. The print head 1 is reciprocated in the left and right directions in the figure by a moving means (not shown), and is controlled so as to discharge each material arbitrarily in the course of the reciprocation. The modeled object 8 produced by the print head 1 is held while being supported by the first support member 6 via the second support member 7.
[0012]
Next, a description will be given of a method of manufacturing an ink-jet three-dimensional structure.
[0013]
In FIG. 1, a model member 8 is a member that finally becomes a product. In the three-dimensional printing method, as a preliminary preparation before the printing, a method of thinly slicing a target model on a horizontal plane, processing the data into 2.5 dimensions, and stacking the data is adopted. Therefore, data processing is performed such that a material called a support material 6 is applied to a portion where the shape is intricate and protrudes while being applied thereunder. Usually, the slicing thickness is several tens of μm.
[0014]
When 2.5-dimensional sliced data is transmitted from a computer (not shown) in advance, predetermined nozzles of nozzle row 2, nozzle row 3, and nozzle row 4 are respectively driven by driving means (not shown). The droplet 5 is ejected to draw an image on a plane. Here, the amount of liquid discharged from each nozzle row is adjusted so as to have a thickness of several tens of μm when the liquid droplets solidify. When a solid ink or an ultraviolet curable ink is used as in the present invention, the ejected droplets are in a raised state, and a three-dimensional image is formed by stacking the ejected droplets.
[0015]
FIG. 3 shows a discharging step of each droplet and a state of the discharged droplet. First, the solid ink 15 is ejected from the first support material nozzle row 4. Next, the liquid 16 containing the release agent is discharged from the two rows of the second support material nozzles. In this example, a fluorine-based release agent was used as the release agent. Further, the model material 17 is discharged from the model material nozzle row 3. Then, after the liquid 16 containing the release agent is discharged again from the second support material nozzle row 2, the solid ink 15 is discharged from the first support material nozzle row 4. By this step, a 2.5-dimensional figure having a thickness of several tens of μm is drawn in a plane. When a three-dimensional model is produced by laminating them in the vertical axis direction, a modeled object as shown in FIG. 1 is produced. Thereafter, the unnecessary first support member 6 and the model member 8 are separated from each other. However, unlike the conventional method, as shown in a region B of FIG. Since the mold release agent 16 is interposed, the resin can be easily separated even by manual operation without using any solvent.
[Example 2]
In this example, a method of separating the first support member 46 and the model member 48 by cooling was examined.
Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to FIG.
The modeled material from which the model material 48 and the first support material 46 produced in the same manner as in Example 1 were not separated was put into a freezer 40 set at −25 ° C. and cured. Here, as the first support material, a material that is more easily embrittled at a lower temperature than the model material is selected. In the present embodiment, a wax-based material mainly containing carnauba wax or the like was used for the first support material, and a propylene resin was used for the model material. After confirming that it was sufficiently cooled, the model was taken out of the refrigerator and mechanically hit. As a result, many cracks 41 were formed in the first support member 46. In this way, the first support member 46 can be easily separated from the model material 48 via the second support member 47 serving as a release layer. At this time, since the first support member 46 is a solid piece, post-processing such as cleaning becomes extremely easy. In this example, cooling was performed using a freezer. However, a similar effect can be expected by a method of putting the liquid into liquid nitrogen or blowing frozen compressed air.
[Example 3]
In this example, a method of melting only the second support material by heat was studied.
First, a modeled object is formed in the same manner as in Example 1. At this time, a material containing a component having a lower melting point than the model material 58 and the first support material 56 is used as the second support material 57. Was. In addition, at the time of modeling, as shown in FIG. 5, the drain groove 52 was formed in a part of the first support material 56 using a material of the same quality as the second support material. After the shaped object is prepared, the shaped object is heated in a heating furnace in a tray 53, and only the second support material 57 containing the low-melting component is melted and provided on the first support material 56 in advance. It was able to flow out from the drain groove 52. Thereby, only the second support member 57 is melted, and a gap is formed at the boundary between the model material 58 and the first support member 56. With this gap, the first support member 56 and the model member 58 can be easily separated.
[Example 4]
In this example, a method of dissolving only the second support material with a drug was studied.
First, a molded article is formed in the same manner as in Example 1. At this time, a material containing a component easily dissolved in acetone is used for the second support material 57, and the model material 58 and the first support material are used. 56 did not include components that readily dissolved in acetone. In addition, at the time of modeling, as shown in FIG. 5, the drain groove 52 was formed in a part of the first support material 56 using a material of the same quality as the second support material. After forming the modeled object, as shown in FIG. 5, when acetone was poured from the surface into the receiving tray 13, only the second support material 57 was dissolved, and the model material 58 and the first support material 56 were dissolved. A gap was formed at the boundary. With this gap, the first support member 56 and the model member 58 can be easily separated. In this embodiment, acetone is used as a dissolving agent. However, any liquid that selectively dissolves the second support material can achieve the gist of the present embodiment.
[Example 5]
In the present embodiment, a method of separating the first support material and the model material using the difference in thermal expansion was examined.
The method for producing a molded article is the same as that in the first embodiment. Here, a method of using the first support material as a low thermal expansion material will be described. As a first support material, 10% of a filler made of silica having a diameter of 0.1 μm was added to the solid ink to adjust the surface tension, the viscosity, and the like so that the ink could be ejected. By this adjustment, the first support material had a thermal expansion coefficient smaller by 7 ppm than the model material. The second support material uses a fluorine-based release agent. After producing the modeled object, when the model material was cooled to −70 ° C. using the refrigerator shown in FIG. 4, the model material slightly shrunk, and could be easily separated from the first support material. When the separated model material is returned to room temperature, it returns to its original shape.
[Example 6]
In the present embodiment, a method of melting only the second support material with the energy of the electromagnetic wave that is absorbed was studied.
A filler that absorbs electromagnetic waves was added to the second support material. In this embodiment, 10% of fine carbon powder was added. Further, the filler was uniformly dispersed in the second support material, and the solid support was adjusted to a solid ink, such as surface tension and viscosity, which can be ejected by inkjet.
A filler for absorbing the energy of electromagnetic waves is added to the second support material to form a shaped article in the same manner as in Example 1, and then a high frequency of 500 kHz is applied as shown in FIG. The carbon in the second support material 67 is heated by the method, and the second support material 67 is melted by the heat, and a material of the same quality as the second support material provided in the first support material 66 in advance. Only the second support material 67 flows out from the drain groove 62 formed by the above. As a result of the outflow of the second support material 67, a gap is formed at the boundary between the model material 68 and the first support material 66. After that, it can be easily separated from the model material by breaking the main support material.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
