Apparatus and method of laminate molding using releaser
First Claim
1. A laminate molding method of fabricating a desired shape consisting of laminate layers having a first layer in a completely solidified state, the method comprising:
- providing a solidified first layer;
a first step of forming a second layer on the first layer;
the first layer having a viscosity higher than the second layer;
a second step of forming a slot groove in the second layer thereby forming first and second regions, the slot groove dividing the first and second regions at least one of the regions comprising a necessary region for the desired shaped;
a third step of printing a releaser on the second layer;
a fourth step of forming a third layer on the second or on the first layer, the second layer having a viscosity higher than the third layer;
a fifth step of solidifying the third layer; and
a sixth step of repeating the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth steps using a solidified third layer as the first layer until the laminate having the desired shape is completed.

Abstract
A laminate molding method of fabricating a desired shape consisting of laminate layers having a first type layer in a completely solidified state, the method includes a first step of forming a second type layer on the first type layer, the first type layer having a viscosity larger than the second type layer, a second step of forming a slot groove in the second layer, the second type layer having first and second regions, a third step of printing a releaser on a predetermined region of the second type layer, a fourth step of forming a third type layer on the second type layer or on the first type layer, the second type having a viscosity larger than the third type layer, a fifth step of solidifying the third type layer to form the first type layer, and a sixth step of repeating the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth steps as desired.

19. A laminate molding apparatus for fabricating a desired shape consisting of laminate layers having a first layer in a completely solidified state, the apparatus comprising:
-
a slot groove forming means for forming a slot groove in a second layer on the first layer, the first layer having a viscosity larger than the second layer; a releaser printing means for printing a releaser on predetermined regions of the second layer or a third layer, the second layer having a viscosity larger than the third layer; a third layer forming means for forming the third layer on the second layer on which the releaser is printed or on the first layer; and a solidifying means for solidifying the third layer. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
