Abstract
[Problem] To provide: a model component having stable quality and having gradation; and a production method therefor [Solution] A model component having: a first layer formed using a first material having a first color; and a second layer that covers at least part of the first layer and comprises a second material having a second color that is different from the first color. The second layer includes a region having a thickness in at least one section that is less than other sections. The region includes a section in which the first layer is exposed to the surface of the second layer.
Claims16
A model part comprising:
- a first layer comprising a first material having a first color;
- and
- a second layer that covers at least a portion of the first layer, wherein the second layer comprises a second material having a second color different from the first color, wherein:
- the second layer has a varying thickness over an area covering at least the portion of the first layer such that a first region of the area covering at least the portion of the first layer has a thickness smaller than other portions of the area covering at least the portion of the first layer, and
- the first region includes a portion in which the first layer is exposed through a surface of the second layer.
A method for manufacturing a model part, the method comprising:
- molding a first layer using a first material having a first color;
- and
- molding a second layer using a second material having a second color different from the first color, to cover at least a portion of the first layer, wherein
- the second layer is molded to define a varying thickness of the second layer over an area covering at least the portion of the first layer such that a first region of the area covering at least the portion of the first layer is thinner than other portions of the area covering at least the portion of the first layer, the first region including a portion in which the first layer is exposed through a surface of the second layer.
