  • Patent number: 11951677
    Abstract: A three dimensional manufactured product is manufactured A speed of filing an uncured light curing resin in a space for a next layer is enhanced, to improve a manufacturing speed. One surface of a container housing a light curing resin is configured by a gas-permeable sheet that faces the light curing resin, and transmits irradiation light of a light irradiating apparatus, and a light transmitting plate disposed at an outer side of the container from the gas permeable member. A pressurizing chamber controllable in pressure by a pressure controlling apparatus is defined between the gas-permeable sheet and the light transmitting plate. At moving a manufacturing stage, an inside of the pressurizing chamber is de-pressurized to cause the gas-permeable sheet to perform concave surface deformation, and at a time of performing light irradiation, gas in the pressurizing chamber is caused to permeate into the light curing resin by pressurizing.

  • Patent number: 5494882
    Abstract: It is provided with a thermal recording material having a support coated with a coating solution as a color developing layer. The color developing layer has a colorless dye precursor which is normally colorless or light-colored, and a developer which reacts with the dye precursor to cause color development thereof upon heating. The developer is a bisthiourea compound represented by, for example, a formula (A-2): ##STR1## and the thermal color developing layer contains no sensitizer. In the thermal recording materials of the present invention, substantially no color is developed at a temperature of 120.degree. C. while color development can be caused in response to heating with a thermal head or a laser beam. The developed color on the material can be erased upon contacting with alcoholic solvents, depending on the thiourea compound contained in the color developing layer. After erasure of the image, the material can be used again for recording with a thermal head or a laser beam.
