Abstract
A method of producing a patterned shaped article which includes the steps of placing on a base surface, a form made of at least one partition member defining the boundary of the patterned to be produced, a peripheral frame surrounding the partition member at a prescribed spacing therefrom and a cover closing the upper ends of the partition member and the peripheral frame. The method also includes the steps of supplying dry particles to a pattern space enclosed by the partition member and a pattern space between the partition member and the peripheral frame, removing the form from the base surface forming a particle course having a prescribed pattern and causing the particles to set into an integral mask.

A method of producing a pattern shaped article comprising the steps of
- placing on a base surface a form constituted of at least one partition member defining the boundary of the pattern to be produced, a peripheral frame surrounding the partition member at a prescribed spacing therefrom and a cover for closing the upper ends of the partition member and the peripheral frame,
- supplying dry particles to a pattern space enclosed by the partition member and a pattern space between the partition member and the peripheral frame,
- removing the form from the base surface,
- forming a particle course having a prescribed pattern, and
- causing the particles to set into an integral mass.
A method of producing a pattern shaped article comprising the steps of
- placing on a backing layer a form constituted of at least one partition member defining the boundary of the pattern to be produced, a peripheral frame surrounding the partition member at a prescribed spacing therefrom and a cover for closing the upper ends of the partition member and the peripheral frame,
- supplying dry particles to a pattern space enclosed by the partition member and a pattern space between the partition member and the peripheral frame,
- removing the form from the backing layer,
- forming a particle course having a prescribed pattern on the backing layer, and
- causing the particles to set into an integral mass with the backing layer.

A method of producing a pattern shaped article comprising the steps of
- pressing open side down into an existing particle layer provided on a base surface a form constituted of at least one partition member defining the boundary of the pattern to be produced, a peripheral frame surrounding the partition member at a prescribed spacing therefrom and a cover for closing the upper ends of the partition member and the peripheral frame,
- sucking existing particle layer particles from at least one of a pattern space enclosed by the partition member and a pattern space between the partition member and the peripheral frame,
- supplying at least one pattern space from which existing particle layer particles were sucked with particles different from those of the existing particle layer,
- removing the form from the existing particle layer,
- forming a particle course having a prescribed pattern in the existing particle layer, and
- causing the supplied particles and the existing particle layer to set into an integral mass.
