Abstract: A method for forming a three-dimensional object by a fused deposition modeling method. The method uses a plurality of material resin supply units, each configured to supply a coloring material resin of a different color, and the coloring material resins are resins to be used as a modeling material. A mixed resin ejection unit is configured to eject a mixed resin obtained by mixing the coloring material resins supplied from the plurality of material resin supply units. The plurality of material resin supply units being configured to supply the coloring material resins of different colors to the mixed resin ejection unit. The method includes controlling the amounts of the coloring material resins to be supplied from each of the plurality of material resin supply units to the mixed resin ejection unit, thereby adjusting a color of the mixed resin that is to be ejected by the mixed resin ejection unit.

Abstract: A three-dimensional object shaping method and apparatus are provided that suppress a risk of a three-dimensional object being deformed. In the three-dimensional object shaping method, a three-dimensional object is formed on a working plane. This method includes a three-dimensional object shaping step and a deformation restrainer shaping step. In the deformation restrainer shaping step, a deformation restrainer is formed simultaneously with the three-dimensional object shaping step in contact in at least a part of the deformation restrainer with the three-dimensional object. The deformation restrainer is a portion distinct from a target portion of the three-dimensional object formed in the three-dimensional object shaping step and serving to generate a force that acts against stress causing the target portion to deform.

Abstract: A packaging method for packaging a molded object which is a stereoscopic object includes: a step of accommodating the molded object and a filling material in a storage container so that a periphery of the molded object is surrounded by the filling material; and a step of fixing a position of the filling material to prevent at least a part of the filling material from moving relative to the molded object in the storage container when the storage container is applied with a shock less than or equal to a preset magnitude wherein the molded object is in a state in which the filling material comes into contact with the molded object.

Abstract: A three-dimensional object manufacturing method includes a 3D object forming step of forming a three-dimensional object by discharging a UV curing type ink, and then carrying out UV irradiation on the discharged ink to form a layer, and overlapping a plurality of the layers (S101); a support material removing step of removing a support material from the three-dimensional object (S102), and a siloxane applying step of applying an organopolysiloxane solution for suppressing whitening of a surface of the three-dimensional object on the surface of the three-dimensional object (S104), where the organopolysiloxane solution is a solution having alcohol for making the support material transparent as a solvent, and having the organopolysiloxane compound for forming a film on the surface of the three-dimensional object by the drying of alcohol as a solute.

Abstract: A three-dimensional object producing apparatus is provided wherein adverse impacts on three-dimensional objects due to any per-nozzle differences in discharge accuracy may be suppressible. A print device for producing a three-dimensional object includes: a head, having a plurality of nozzles; and a discharge controller, programmed to control ink discharge from the head. In this print device, the discharge controller controls the ink discharge at the time of forming a unit layer, so that a dot ink amount of the ink forming the unit layer differs between at least some of the dots.
