Abstract:
There is provided a selective laser sintering method capable of reducing the trouble in chipping or breakage of the machining tool and the like. The manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional shaped object by repetition of a powder-layer forming and a solidified-layer forming, the repetition including the steps of (i) forming a solidified layer by irradiating a predetermined portion of a powder layer with a light beam, thereby allowing a sintering of the powder in the predetermined portion or a melting and subsequent solidification thereof, and (ii) forming another solidified layer by newly forming a powder layer on the resulting solidified layer, followed by the irradiation of a predetermined portion of the powder layer with the light beam.
Abstract:
There is provided a mold including a movable side mold, a fixed side mold and a sprue bush, the sprue bush including a flow path for a cooling fluid of the fixed side mold, wherein inlet and outlet ports of the flow path for the cooling fluid are in a direct connection with a cooling tube, respectively, the cooling tube being located along a space portion provided in the fixed side mold, and wherein the space portion is in a form of an opening provided in at least one of opposed surfaces of the fixed side mold.
Abstract:
A selective laser sintering method reduces a warping deformation of a three-dimensional shaped object, the warping deformation being due to the scanning of a light beam. The manufacturing method is a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional shaped object by alternate repetition of a powder-layer forming and a solidified-layer forming, wherein a scanning of the light irradiation is divided into light beam-scannings “A” and “B”, the light beam-scanning “A” being for the light irradiation of a peripheral portion corresponding to a periphery of the three-dimensional shaped object, and the light beam-scanning “B” being for the light irradiation of an internal portion corresponding to a region of the three-dimensional shaped object, the region being located inside the periphery. In particular, the peripheral portion is subjected to a discontinuous light beam-irradiation in the light beam-scanning “A” such that an irradiation path of the light beam is divided into a plurality of sub-irradiation paths.

There is provided a manufacturing method of the three-dimensional shaped object, the method being capable of suitably reducing the local raised portion which can occur during the light beam irradiation under the condition of the divided sub-irradiation paths. The manufacturing method of the present invention is performed by repetition of a powder-layer forming and a solidified-layer forming, wherein an irradiation path of the light beam is divided into a plurality of sub-irradiation paths including a short sub-irradiation path with its length being shorter than a predetermined length and a long sub-irradiation path with its length being the predetermined length or longer, and wherein an irradiation mode of the light beam is changed depending on the lengths of the sub-irradiation paths.
Abstract:
There is provided a selective laser sintering method capable of reducing the bulge of the peripheral portion corresponding to the periphery of the three-dimensional shaped object. The manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes alternate repetition of a powder-layer forming and a solidified-layer forming, the repetition comprising: (i) forming a solidified layer by irradiating a predetermined portion of a powder layer with a light beam, thereby sintering the powder in the predetermined portion or a melting and subsequently solidifying the powder; and (ii) forming another solidified layer by newly forming a powder layer on the formed solidified layer, followed by irradiation of a predetermined portion of the newly formed powder layer with the light beam, wherein a scanning of the light irradiation is divided into light beam-scannings “A” and “B”.
