Abstract: A 3-D solid model of a tire vulcanizing mold is constructed on CAD, lamination models the optimum value of the pitch of which is determined in consideration of molding accuracy and processing time are created by dividing this model in a predetermined lamination direction, slice data for each layer corresponding to the lamination pitch of each segment are created, a sector mold of the tire vulcanizing mold is manufactured by a powder sintering method based on the slice data, and the density of a sintered body is controlled by adjusting the output of a laser beam or the exposure time of the laser beam applied to the powders to provide a density distribution on the plane and in the depth direction of a mold element for each layer so as to obtain a tire vulcanizing mold having a hybrid structure.

Abstract: For manufacturing the laminated mold comprising the laminate (11) being formed of a plurality of thin sheets (11a) laminated on each other, laminate the thin sheets with the excess portions of respective thin sheets exceeding the profile of the tire crown portion on the side of contacting with the tire stepping face left, then remove the excess portions, form the sector mold by placing the laminate (11) with the excess portions removed in the holder, form the laminated mold having the annular read pattern by arranging a plurality of the sector mold in a peripheral direction of the tire so as to suppress formation of the stepped shape appearing on the tire profile comparing with the one as originally intended.
