  • Publication number: 20210179893
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet including a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having an adhesive strength reducible by an adhesive strength-reducing action. For example, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is a thermally releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (11), and the adhesive strength-reducing action is heating of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (11). This pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for build stage use is suitable for allowing an object to be formed over a build stage of an additive manufacturing apparatus to be attached to the build stage during building up, and to be readily detached from the build stage after building up. An additive manufacturing apparatus can employ the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for build stage use and includes a build stage, and adhesive strength-reducing means for performing an adhesive strength-reducing action to a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for build stage use affixed to the stage.
