Abstract:
An thermally expandable sheet includes a base and a thermal expansion layer arranged on one surface of the base and configured to be used in manufacture of a shaped object by swelling of at least a portion of the thermal expansion layer. The thermal expansion layer includes a first thermally expandable material having a first expansion initiation temperature and a first maximum expansion temperature, and a second thermally expandable material having a second expansion initiation temperature and a second maximum expansion temperature. The first expansion initiation temperature and the second expansion initiation temperature are high in comparison to a temperature of an environment in which the shaped object is to be placed. The second maximum expansion temperature is high in comparison to the first maximum expansion temperature.

Abstract:
A three-dimensionally shaped object forming sheet includes: a thermally expansive layer distending at a predetermined temperature or higher; a base laminated on one side thereof with the thermally expansive layer; and a photothermal conversion layer for converting absorbed light to heat, formed on at least one side, wherein the base includes a first base and a second base that are laminated; and the first base has an elasticity that is greater than an elasticity of the second base.
Abstract:
A toner for a thermal transfer printing sheet is advantageous in terms of a fixing property to a release sheet, durability against deformation upon cooling, and a property of holding an image-forming toner, in addition to grindability and chargeability of the toner. The toner for a thermal transfer printing sheet is characterized by comprising a negative-charged crystalline polyester resin, wherein the toner has an average particle size D50 (volume) of 20 to 50 μm.
Abstract:
A peeling sheet supply unit is formed along an endless belt and is configured to supply a peeling sheet having a peeling surface on the endless belt. A first resin sheet transfer device is provided at a downstream side of the peeling sheet supply unit, and is configured to form a resin sheet by transferring a thermoplastic toner to a first region of the peeling sheet. A second resin sheet transfer device is provided at a downstream side of the first resin sheet transfer device and is configured to form a resin sheet by transferring a thermoplastic toner to a second region of the peeling sheet, the second region having a region different from a region overlapped with the first region.
Abstract:
A formable resin sheet includes a base and a thermally expansive layer that contains a thermally expandable material and is formed on one surface of the base. When the thermally expansive layer is expanded, the base is deformed with expansion of the thermally expansive layer, such that the base is deformed in an embossed shape, and a deformation amount of the base is greater than an expansion height of the thermally expansive layer.
Abstract:
An ink is used for forming a photothermal conversion layer used for causing expansion of at least a portion of a thermal expansion layer of a thermally-expandable sheet. The ink includes an inorganic infrared absorbing agent having a higher absorptivity in at least one region of an infrared light spectrum than in a visible light spectrum. A base of the ink is white.
Abstract:
