  • Patent number: 9776243
    Abstract: A selective laser sintering method reduces a warping deformation of a three-dimensional shaped object, the warping deformation being due to the scanning of a light beam. The manufacturing method is a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional shaped object by alternate repetition of a powder-layer forming and a solidified-layer forming, wherein a scanning of the light irradiation is divided into light beam-scannings “A” and “B”, the light beam-scanning “A” being for the light irradiation of a peripheral portion corresponding to a periphery of the three-dimensional shaped object, and the light beam-scanning “B” being for the light irradiation of an internal portion corresponding to a region of the three-dimensional shaped object, the region being located inside the periphery. In particular, the peripheral portion is subjected to a discontinuous light beam-irradiation in the light beam-scanning “A” such that an irradiation path of the light beam is divided into a plurality of sub-irradiation paths.

  • Publication number: 20170130769
    Abstract: A rack bushing supported by an annular elastic member in a housing includes a bushing body and a flange portion extending outward in a radial direction from a first axial end of the rack bushing. The flange portion is positioned at a step portion of an inner periphery of the housing. The bushing body includes a second axial slit extending from a second axial end to a middle portion in an axial direction. A gap that communicates with the second axial slit is formed between the inner periphery of the housing and an outer surface of the bushing body.
