Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a support material removing device which does not use cleaning water when the support material is removed from a shaped article shaped by a 3D printer, can efficiently remove the support material at low cost, does not require experience in work, and can protect water resources.SOLUTION: The shaped article 2 shaped by a 3D printer is immersed in a treatment tank 1 filled with a treatment liquid 1a comprising silicate, a phosphate, and water, and the support material is removed by chemical power. As a result, the support material can be removed efficiently at low cost, and no experience is required for work. Since cleaning water is not used, water resources are protected effectively.

Description

本発明は、３Ｄプリンタで造形された造形物からサポート材を除去する装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an apparatus for removing a support material from a modeled object modeled by a 3D printer.

３Ｄプリンタ（特開２００８−３０２７０１）で造形された造形物からウォータージェット水を用いて行うサポート材の除去方式においては、洗浄水を大量に消費すると共に排水を化学剤等により中和処理してから排水しているためコストがかかり、更に作業には手間と時間がかかると共に経験を必要としていた。   In the method of removing a support material using water jet water from a model formed by a 3D printer (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-302701), a large amount of washing water is consumed and the waste water is neutralized with a chemical agent or the like. Since the wastewater was drained from the wastewater, it was expensive, and the work required time and labor.

特に大量に洗浄水を消費するために水資源を浪費するという問題があった。   In particular, there is a problem that water resources are wasted because a large amount of washing water is consumed.
