Abstract
A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional shaped object includes a first step of receiving a selection of a shaping mode for the three-dimensional shaped object, a second step of generating, based on the received shaping mode, shaping data for shaping the three-dimensional shaped object, and a third step of shaping the three-dimensional shaped object based on the shaping data, in which the third step includes a step of controlling a discharge adjusting unit configured to adjust a discharge amount of a shaping material from a nozzle, and the number of times the discharge adjusting unit is controlled in the third step is different depending on the shaping mode received in the first step.
Claims11
A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional shaped object, comprising:
- a first step of receiving a selection of a shaping mode for a three-dimensional shaped object;
- a second step of generating, based on the received shaping mode, shaping data for shaping the three-dimensional shaped object, wherein the shaping data includes an inner shell shaping data and an outer shell shaping data, which includes an outermost periphery of the three-dimensional shaped object and one inner periphery of the outermost periphery;
- and
- a third step of discharging a shaping material to shape the three-dimensional shaped object based on the shaping data, wherein
- the inner shell shaping data includes path information, which includes a first plurality of linear partial paths for discharging the shaping material, wherein each linear partial path includes a start point and an end point connected to the start point,
- the third step includes adjusting a discharge amount of the shaping material from a nozzle,
- the discharge amount is individually adjusted for each linear partial path,
- the number of times of adjusting of the discharge amount in the third step is different depending on the shaping mode received in the first step,
- the outer shell shaping data includes path information, which includes a second plurality of linear partial paths and each linear partial path includes a start position and an end position connected to the start position with one line,
- the discharge amount of the shaping material from the nozzle is adjusted by starting and temporarily stopping discharging of the shaping material at the start position and the end position of each linear partial path, respectively, and
- the shaping material is suctioned from a nozzle opening of the nozzle after temporarily stopping discharging of the shaping material.
