Abstract
A mold manufacturing method used in an injection molding apparatus has a first step of shaping a laminated body that becomes a part of the mold by discharging molding material and stacking layers on a base plate having a first member with a first opening and a second member assembled into the first opening, a second step of removing the second member from the base plate on which at least a part of the laminated body has been shaped, and performing at least one of a cutting process and an insertion of a nesting member on the laminated body, which is at least partially shaped, and a third step, performed after the second step, of assembling the base plate with the laminated body is shaped, or a base plate with the laminated body is shaped and all the second members are removed, into the second opening in a mold base.
