When the liquid surface of the photocurable resin liquid 2 is irradiated with the light beam 3, the photocurable resin liquid 2 from the liquid surface in the vicinity of the focal position of the light beam 3 to a certain thickness is cured to form the photocurable layer 40. . Since the photo-curing layer 40 is placed on the molding table 5, when the molding table 5 is lowered, the photo-curing layer 40 sinks below the liquid surface and the top of the photo-curing layer 40 is uncured light. It is covered with the curable resin liquid 2. After that, when the liquid surface of the photocurable resin liquid 2 is irradiated with the light beam 3 in the same manner as described above, the second photocurable layer 4 is formed. By repeating the formation of the photocurable layer 40 by the irradiation of the light beam 3 and the supply of the new photocurable resin liquid 2 onto the photocurable layer 40 by lowering the molding table 5 as described above, A molded article 4 having a three-dimensional shape in which the photo-cured layer 40 of the layers is laminated is molded.

However, even if the irradiation of the light beam is precisely controlled as described above, if the photocurable resin that is photocured by the light beam undergoes shrinkage deformation during curing, the accuracy of the shape of the photocured layer formed will deteriorate. However, there has been a problem that the precision of the shape of a molded product having a three-dimensional shape formed by stacking the photo-curable layers also deteriorates. Further, if the shrinkage stress at the time of curing remains in the photocurable layer as residual stress, the residual stress is gradually released after the curing, and there is a problem that the photocurable layer or the molded product is deformed with time.

In the conventional method for forming a three-dimensional shape, in order to improve work efficiency, a light beam having a strong curing action is rapidly moved to irradiate the photocurable resin to rapidly cure the photocurable resin. However, when curing is rapidly performed with a light beam having a strong curing action in this way, the amount of curing contraction increases and residual stress also easily occurs. That is, when the curing is performed slowly, the curing proceeds while the surrounding resin liquid is supplied so as to supplement the curing shrinkage amount during the irradiation of the light beam, so that the curing shrinkage as a whole is small and the curing Since the shrinkage stress is released during the progress, the occurrence of residual stress is reduced. However, if the curing is rapid, the supply of the resin liquid that compensates for the curing shrinkage amount will not be in time, a large curing shrinkage will remain, and the curing will be completed before the shrinkage stress is released, so residual stress may occur. It becomes. Furthermore, when the photo-cured layer is formed while moving the irradiation position of the light beam, the difference in curing shrinkage between the first cured portion and the later cured portion causes local deformation and uneven distribution of residual stress. As a result, there is a high possibility that locally large distortion or nonuniform residual stress will occur in the formed product.

According to the invention of claim 1, the semi-cured portion obtained by curing the photo-curable resin to an intermediate stage suppresses the movement of the resin constituting the semi-cured portion, but can be deformed to some extent. It is possible to absorb the deformation and shrinkage stress due to the hardening shrinkage of the main hardening portion. Therefore, first, if the main hardening part is formed in the part that will be the skeleton or outer shell of the three-dimensional shape, the three-dimensional shape can be accurately formed, and the hardening shrinkage amount and shrinkage stress due to this partial main hardening part. Is relatively small and can be contracted by the semi-cured part as described above. After that, the curing shrinkage when curing the semi-cured part to the final stage is much smaller than that of curing the photo-curable resin to the final stage at a time, and it also affects the main cured part that has already completed curing. Since the three-dimensional shape finally formed has a high shape accuracy, there is no fear of time-dependent deformation or reduction in strength due to residual stress. That is, instead of fully curing the entire three-dimensional shape at once,
After the first part is semi-cured, the entire semi-cured part is fully cured, whereby the curing shrinkage can be suppressed and the shrinkage stress can be released.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the outer surface of the three-dimensional shape can be accurately formed by using the outermost surface of the three-dimensional shape as the main curing portion that is cured to the final stage. By making the inner part a semi-cured part,
Curing shrinkage and shrinkage stress can be suppressed. After that, when the inner semi-cured part is cured to the final stage, the cure shrinkage is small because it is a cure from the semi-cured state, and the cure shrinkage is suppressed because the outer surface is regulated by the fully cured part that has already completed curing. .

According to the invention of claim 3, when the light beam for moving is applied while the light beam for semi-curing forms a semi-cured portion, the movement of the photo-curable resin in the portion is suppressed. Then, since the semi-cured portion, the movement of which is suppressed by the main curing light beam, is cured to the final stage, the semi-cured portion does not cause further curing shrinkage, and there is no fear of residual stress remaining. In this way, the cured portion that has been cured from the semi-cured state to the main cured state and has no curing contraction or residual stress is gradually expanded with the movement of the light beam to form the photocured layer. No curing shrinkage or residual stress remains. In particular, since there is no difference in curing shrinkage and shrinkage stress between the first part and the latter part of the moving range of the light beam, uneven shrinkage deformation or deformation due to residual stress does not occur in the entire photocurable layer.

However, in the conventional three-dimensional shape forming method, when the photocurable resin liquid 2 is irradiated with the light beam 3, the curing is completed up to the final stage. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a main curing portion 4a that is cured to the final stage and a semi-cured portion 4b that is cured to an intermediate stage are separately formed as in the conventional case. The difference between the main curing portion 4a and the semi-curing portion 4a is caused by changing the curing action of the irradiated light beam 3. In order to change the curing action of the light beam 3, for example, the intensity of the laser beam generated by the laser generator, the size of the condenser diameter of the condenser lens 30, the irradiation time, the wavelength component of the irradiated light, etc. can be adjusted. Good. In the simplest way, if the moving speed of the light beam 3 is adjusted, if the moving speed is fast, the hardening effect is small and the semi-hardened portion 4b is formed. If the moving speed is slowed, the hardening effect is sufficiently performed. The main cured portion 4a is formed. By changing the irradiation conditions as described above with the same light beam 3, the main curing portion 4a
Alternatively, the main curing part 4a and the semi-curing part 4b can be formed by separately irradiating a plurality of types of light beams 3 having different irradiation conditions, that is, different curing effects.

Such a division pattern of the main curing portion 4a and the semi-curing portion 4b may be obtained by scanning the light beam 3 having different curing action according to the division pattern as described above. For example, in the case of the division pattern shown in FIG. 2 (b), after the layered semi-cured portion 4b is formed by the semi-curing light beam 3 having a weak curing action, the layer-shaped semi-cured portion 4b is formed on the layered semi-cured portion 4b. The light beam 3 may be formed by overlapping the layered main curing portion 4a. Further, in the case of the divided pattern shown in FIG. 3 (c), after the strip-shaped main curing portion 4a is formed by the normal light beam 3 on the outer surface portion of the photo-curing layer 40, the center of the inner portion is compared. The light beam 3 has a doughnut-shaped energy distribution that exhibits a weak hardening and a strong hardening effect on the outer circumference, with a semi-hardened part 4b at the center and a main hardened part on the outer circumference.
A spot-shaped semi-cured portion 4b is formed in the main cured portion 4a by forming 4a and moving it while irradiating the light beam 3 in a pulsed manner. The division pattern of the main curing portion 4a and the semi-curing portion 4b can be implemented by any division pattern other than the illustrated embodiment. However, in order to accurately form the three-dimensional shape and suppress the occurrence of curing shrinkage and residual stress, the part that becomes the outer surface of the three-dimensional shape and the part that becomes the skeleton of the three-dimensional shape are fully cured with a relatively narrow width. Part 4a
It is preferable that the semi-cured portion 4b is filled with the semi-cured portion 4b.

When the two types of light beams 3a and 3b as described above are sequentially irradiated,
First, the photocurable resin 2 in that portion is a semi-curing light beam.
The semi-cured portion 4b is formed by being hardened by the resin 3b to the extent that the movement of the resin 2 can be suppressed, and is then hardened to the final stage by the main hardening light beam 3a. In order to reliably irradiate the semi-curing part 4b with the main curing light beam 3a, the main curing light beam 3a
The converging diameter of 3a is preferably set to be slightly smaller than that of the semi-curing light beam 3b. In this case, the main curing light beam 3a
The semi-cured portion 4b that remains uncured outside of the above may be dissolved and removed after the three-dimensional shape is formed. In the illustrated embodiment, since the two light beams 3a and 3b are irradiated concentrically, the irradiation timing of the semi-curing beam 3b and the irradiation timing of the main curing beam 3a are temporally shifted, so that the semi-curing beam 3b is irradiated. The main curing light beam 3a may be irradiated after being irradiated with. Light beam 3b for semi-curing and light beam for main curing
If the irradiation position of 3a is set to be shifted in the scanning direction, the semi-curing light beam 3b and the main curing light beam 3a can be sequentially irradiated as the light beams 3a and 3b move.

In the above embodiment, there is no curing shrinkage or residual stress in the state where the light beam 3b for semi-curing is semi-cured to the extent that the movement of the photocurable resin 2 can be suppressed. Light beam for main curing in this state
If it is cured up to the final stage in 3a, since it is a curing from a semi-cured state in which movement is suppressed, curing shrinkage does not occur much and residual stress does not remain. Further, it is possible to form the molded product 4 having a three-dimensional shape having an accurate shape as it is in the irradiation range of the main curing light beam 3a. Since the main curing light beam 3a is applied to the entire molded product 4, there is no need to cure the entire semi-cured portion in a separate process as in the above-described embodiment.

According to the method for forming a three-dimensional shape according to claim 1 of the invention described above, after the main-cured portion and the semi-cured portion are separately formed in the three-dimensional shape, the entire semi-cured portion is removed. Since the curing is performed up to the final stage, at the stage where the main curing portion and the semi-curing portion are formed separately, the curing shrinkage and shrinkage stress occurring in the main curing portion can be absorbed by the semi-curing portion. After that, if the semi-cured part is cured, the curing shrinkage and contraction stress generated by the curing from the semi-cured part to the final stage are small,
Since the already-cured main curing part suppresses the curing contraction of the semi-cured part, the curing contraction of the entire three-dimensional shape is almost eliminated, and the three-dimensional shape with the accurate shape accuracy according to the preset shape can be obtained. Also, there is no concern that residual stress will remain in the formed three-dimensional shape, and neither deformation nor strength reduction will occur over time.

According to the method for forming a three-dimensional shape of claim 3, since the photo-curable resin is semi-cured by the semi-curing light beam and then cured by the main curing light beam to the final stage, the conventional final stage is performed. Compared with the method of rapidly curing all at once, the curing shrinkage is reduced by passing through the semi-curing step, and the shrinkage stress can be released well. That is, when the photocurable resin is semi-cured, there is almost no cure shrinkage, and the semi-cured part can be deformed to some extent, so that the shrinkage stress is easily released. When it is cured from the semi-cured state to the final stage, it cures from the semi-cured state in which the resin movement is suppressed, so it does not easily cause cure shrinkage. However, the amount of curing shrinkage is extremely small, and the possibility of residual stress remaining is reduced.
