  • Patent number: 9230198
    Abstract: A printer includes a recording head that ejects ink toward a recording medium, a first driving mechanism that moves the recording head in main scanning directions; a second driving mechanism that moves the recording head and the recording medium with respect to each other in sub scanning directions perpendicular to the main scanning directions; an input device that allows a user to input thereto printing information about printing time and image quality; and a control device that controls the recording head, the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism based on the printing information input to the input device. The printing information includes at least information about a pass number of the recording head. The input device allows the pass number to be changed continuously.

  • Patent number: 7744801
    Abstract: A 3D modeling device performs repeatedly a step of cutting a subsidiary material layer formed of a subsidiary material and cutting a modeling material layer formed of a modeling material. The 3D modeling device comprises at least one of a subsidiary material supplying device which discharges the subsidiary material drop by drop from an outlet positioned apart from a region in which the subsidiary material is to be applied at a predetermined distance, and a modeling material supplying device which discharges the modeling material drop by drop from an output positioned apart from a region in which the modeling material is to be applied at a predetermined distance. Since the material can be applied with high precision, a high-quality 3D molded object is provided.
