Abstract
Provided is a manufacturing method of a three-dimensional object for manufacturing a three-dimensional object by laminating unit layers using a fluid constituent material. The manufacturing method includes a unit layer formation step of forming the unit layer of one layer by forming a first unit layer in which first layers each having a first thickness are laminated and then forming a second unit layer formed of a second layer having a second thickness greater than the first thickness to adjoin the first unit layer. By executing such a manufacturing method of the three-dimensional object, it is possible to manufacture a highly dense three-dimensional object in a short time.
Claims7
A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional object, the method comprising;
- forming a plurality of first unit layers on a plate, each first unit layer of the plurality of first unit layers being configured with a plurality of first layers that are stacked on each other in a first direction, each first layer of the plurality of first layers having a first thickness along the first direction, two adjacent unit layers of the plurality of first unit layers being spaced apart from each other via a space;
- forming a plurality of second unit layers in the spaces between the two adjacent unit layers of the plurality of first unit layers so as to form a first group of unit layers on the plate, each second unit layer of the plurality of second unit layers being configured by a single second layer, the single second layer having a second thickness in the first direction;
- and
- repeating the formation of the plurality of first unit layers and the formation of the plurality of second unit layers a plurality of times on a previously formed group of unit layers,
- wherein the second thickness is larger than the first thickness, and
- a first height in the first direction of each first unit layer of the plurality of first unit layers is equal to a second height in the first direction of each second unit layer of the plurality of second unit layers.
