Abstract:
To prevent warp deformation of a molded object which is formed by laser powder layer laminating molding.There is provided a powder layer laminating molding method including a first step of forming a powder layer which includes powder of a thermoplastic resin, and a second step of sintering the powder layer by irradiating the formed powder layer with a beam having a heating action, in which a molded object is obtained by repeatedly performing the forming and the sintering of the powder layer in the first step and the second step, and an irradiation surface which is irradiated with the beam is divided into a plurality of small regions.
Abstract:
Provided is a method capable of enhancing the quality (interlaminar strength, void reduction) of a lamination shaped article and using a high-heat resistant resin, and which has low cost and good quality and does not use a process window, and enhances release properties of a support. A laser powder shaping method for fabricating a lamination shaped article, the method having a step for providing a powder material as a thin layer and a laser irradiating step for irradiating the provided powder material with a laser and thereby sintering or melting the powder material, the laser powder shaping method characterized by having a step for performing a surface modification treatment for generating or increasing the number of oxygen functional groups in a region irradiated by the laser before or after the step for providing the powder material, or before or after the laser irradiation step.
