Abstract
A three-dimensional object shaping device capable of appropriately collecting surplus shaping material is provided. The three-dimensional object shaping device that shapes a three-dimensional object by layering unit layers formed by ejecting a shaping material includes a flattening roller (52) that makes contact with a surface side of the unit layer to scrape off the surplus shaping material, and flattens the surface of the unit layer; a suction roller (61) serving as a removing member that is brought into contact with the flattening roller (52) to suction the shaping material attached to the flattening roller (52); and a roller rotation mechanism (62) that changes a contacting position of the suction roller (61) with respect to the flattening roller (52).
Claims8
A three-dimensional object shaping device that shapes a three-dimensional object by layering a plurality of unit layers, wherein each unit layer of the plurality of unit layers is formed by ejecting a shaping material on a shaping table from a supply section that supplies the shaping material, the three-dimensional object shaping device comprising:
- a flattening roller that makes contact with a surface side of the unit layer to scrape off a surplus shaping material, and flattens a surface of the unit layer;
- and
- a removing member that is brought into contact with the flattening roller to remove the shaping material attached to the flattening roller.
