Abstract
A measurement method of a three dimensional molding device, the three dimensional molding device including the first pressure measurement step of measuring the pressure of the pressure generating section 500 as first pressure data; a second pressure measurement step of measuring, by the measurement section 240, a pressure generated by the pressure generating section 500 biasing the plunger pin as second pressure data; and a third pressure measurement step of measuring a difference between the first pressure data and the second pressure data.
Claims6
A measurement method of three dimensional molding device, the three dimensional molding device including
- a flow path through which a plasticization material plasticized by heat flows;
- a nozzle communicating with the flow path and configured to deliver the plasticization material outside;
- a pressure detection section that detects pressure of at least a part of the flow path;
- and
- a pressure generating section connected to the pressure detection section and configured to generate pressure, wherein
- the pressure detection section includes
- a cylinder connected to the flow path,
- a plunger pin slidably disposed in the cylinder,
- a transmission member connected to an opposite side of the plunger pin than the flow path, and
- a measuring section that is connected via the transmission member and measures a pressure received by the plunger pin from the plasticization material,
- the method comprising:
- a first pressure measurement step of measuring pressure of the pressure generating section as first pressure data;
- a second pressure measurement step of the measuring section measuring, as second pressure data, pressure generated by the pressure generating section biasing the plunger pin;
- and
- a third pressure measurement step of measuring a difference between the first pressure data and the second pressure data.
