MOLDING METHOD AND MOLDING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A molding method comprising:
- dividing a three-dimensional object as a molding target into a plurality of cross-section elements and drawing the cross-section elements as cross-section patterns on a drawing surface of a drawing stand having the drawing surface with a liquid whose curing is precipitated by receiving activation energy; and
applying the activation energy to the liquid configuring the cross-section patterns on the drawing standwherein, in the dividing of a three-dimensional object and the drawing of the cross-section elements, the cross-section patterns are drawn on the drawing surface that has a liquid repellent area that is an area representing liquid repellency for the liquid and a lyophilic area that is independently formed in an island shape within the liquid repellent area and is an area representing lyophillicity stronger than that of the liquid repellent area for the liquid.

Abstract
A molding method includes drawing cross-section elements of a three-dimensional object as a molding target on a drawing surface of a drawing stand with a liquid whose curing is precipitated by receiving activation energy as cross-section patterns; applying the activation energy to the liquid configuring the cross-section patterns in a state in which the cross-section patterns is pinched between the drawing stand and a molding stand; and detaching the cross-section patterns after being applied with the activation energy from the drawing stand and transferring the cross-section patterns to the molding stand side, wherein the drawing surface has a liquid repellent area that is an area representing liquid repellency for the liquid and a lyophilic area that is independently formed in an island shape within the liquid repellent area and is an area representing lyophillicity stronger than that of the liquid repellent area for the liquid.

4. A molding apparatus comprising:
-
an ejection head that ejects a liquid whose curing is precipitated by receiving activation energy; a drawing stand that has a drawing surface that is a surface on which cross-section patterns of a three-dimensional object as a molding target are drawn with the liquid ejected from the ejection head; and an energy applying device that applies activation energy to the liquid adhering to the drawing surface; wherein, on the drawing surface, a liquid repellent area that is an area representing liquid repellency for the liquid and a lyophilic area that is independently formed in an island shape within the liquid repellent area and is an area representing lyophillicity stronger than that of the liquid repellent area for the liquid are arranged. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
