Lamination molding apparatus

Abstract

According to the present invention, a lamination molding apparatus configured to mold a desired lamination molded object based on a project file, comprising: a chamber covering a molding region and being filled with an inert gas; a laser beam emitter configured to irradiate material powder with a laser beam for sintering the material powder, in an irradiation region on a material powder layer formed on a molding region, a cutting machine configured to move a cutting tool, within the chamber, for cutting a predetermined cutting allowance from a sintered layer obtained by sintering the material powder a calculation means configured to calculate an amount of displacement between a target irradiation position and an actual irradiation position of the laser beam, and to determine a recommended value of a size of the cutting allowance based on a time transition of the amount of displacement or to generate a new project file containing a size of the cutting allowance set based on a time transition of the amount of displacement, is provided.
