Abstract
A three-dimensional image forming system according to the present invention includes a conveyance path along which a heat-expandable sheet is conveyed, a heating unit which heats the heat-expandable sheet by irradiating the heat-expandable sheet with light, a detection sensor which detects that the rear end of the heat-expandable sheet comes close to the heating unit by the conveyance of the heat-expandable sheet along the conveyance path, and a control unit which increases the conveying speed of the heat-expandable sheet whose rear end is detected when the detection sensor detects that the rear end of the heat-expandable sheet comes close to the heating unit.

A three-dimensional image forming system comprising:
- a conveyance path along which a heat-expandable sheet is conveyed;
- a heating unit which heats the heat-expandable sheet by irradiating the heat-expandable sheet with light:
- a detection sensor which detects that the rear end of the heat-expandable sheet comes close to the heating unit by the conveyance of the heat-expandable sheet along the conveyance path;
- and
- a control unit which increases the conveying speed of the heat-expandable sheet whose rear end is detected when the detection sensor detects that the rear end of the heat-expandable sheet comes close to the heating unit.
A three-dimensional image forming system comprising:
- a conveying unit which conveys a heat-expandable sheet along a conveyance path;
- a heating unit which heats the heat-expandable sheet by irradiating the heat-expandable sheet with light;
- a detection sensor which detects that the rear end of the heat-expandable sheet comes close to the heating unit;
- and
- a control unit which increases the conveying speed of the conveying unit when the detection sensor detects that the rear end of the heat-expandable sheet comes close to the heating unit.
A medium conveying method comprising the steps of:
- heating a medium conveyed along a predetermined conveyance path by irradiating the medium with light from a predetermined light source;
- and
- increasing the conveying speed of the medium whose rear end is detected when a predetermined detection sensor detects that the rear end of the medium comes close to the light source.
