Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING LAYER-SHAPED THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH1170586
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid the thermal or radiochemical load of a substrate by supplying necessary energy with the use of microwave beams. SOLUTION: A microwave oscillator 1 supplies microwave beams to a movable arm through a wave guide system 2 in an X-Y plane which supports a transmission unit 3 for microwave beams. A movable base 4 in a Z axis descend corresponding to the layer thickness calculated in a slicing process, and the movable arm adjusts the distribution of microwave beams in a base surface. A powdered substrate is applied on the base surface in a specified layer thickness using a doctor 6. A microwave probe transmits microwave beams, produces an object 7 in a lamellar shape, and is surrounded by the unconverted substrate 8. The unnecessary substrate 8 can be reused after adjustment.
