Claims11
An additive manufacturing method of manufacturing a product by laminating metal, the additive manufacturing method comprising:
- laminating the metal so as to form a half-finished product of the product and a support;
- spraying dry ice pellets having a particle shape to the support, after the laminating;
- and
- removing the support by pulverizing at least a part of the support, after the spraying,
- wherein the support includes:
- a first region including a joint surface joined to the half-finished product;
- and
- a second region other than the first region;
- wherein the laminating includes forming the first region as a porous body having a plurality of holes into which each of the dry ice pellets is capable of entering at least partially, and
- wherein the removing includes:
- pulverizing the first region by spraying the dry ice pellets to the first region;
- and
- removing a remainder which remains unpulverized after the pulverizing.
