A manufacturing method of a structure includes, in this order: providing a layer constituted by a support member and a modeling layer by bringing a regulating surface of a regulating member into contact with the modeling layer provided on a surface of an intermediate transfer member, pouring a material for the support member which becomes the support member to fill the periphery of the modeling layer while the regulating surface abutting the modeling layer, and solidifying the material for the support member; removing the regulating member from the layer constituted by the support member and the modeling layer.

Method and apparatus for manufacturing structure

In structural body formation, influence of misalignment between an in-process structural body layer and a support member layer on the shape accuracy is reduced. A method for manufacturing a structural body includes: forming a model forming layer from a liquid model forming material on an existing surface formed of at least one of prepared model forming layer and support member; while a defining surface of a defining member defining the upper surface of the model forming layer is in contact therewith; supplying a support material to fill between the existing surface and the defining surface and solidifying the support material into a support member to form a layer of the model forming layer and the support member; removing the defining member; and providing a layer of a model forming layer and a support member on the surface of the layer exposed by removal of the defining member.

Method for manufacturing structural body and manufacturing apparatus therefor

A manufacturing method of a structure includes providing a stack of a first material layer to be a part of the structure and a restricting member wherein the first material layer is provided on a surface of the structure in the process of formation, and a part of the restricting member is provided on a surface of the first material layer in reverse of the surface of the structure in the process of formation, providing a support member between the restricting member and the surface of the structure in the process of formation, removing the restricting member, and providing a second material layer to be a part of the structure on surfaces of the first material layer and the support member exposed by removing the restricting member.

Manufacturing method of structure and manufacturing apparatus

A method for manufacturing a structural body includes a lamination step of, while an in-process structural body is supported by a support member, laminating a plurality of times, a layer which is provided on a surface of a transfer member and which is to be formed into the structural body on the in-process structural body or at least a part of a surface formed of the in-process structural body and the support member, and in the lamination step, the support member is moved by changing the state thereof.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional object which method is able to easily manufacture a three-dimensional object using a low-cost apparatus. The present invention thus manufactures a three-dimensional object containing a three-dimensional image by printing a two-dimensional image on print media each having at least an ink receiving layer and a bonding layer, on the basis of an ink jet scheme, and stacking the print media on which the two-dimensional image is printed so that the print media are bonded together via the bonding layers.

A width A of the scanning area of the ink ejection orifices and a width B of the scanning area of the reacting liquid ejection orifices are respectively set as A=(n&#x2212;a)&#xd7;p and B=n&#xd7;p, while amount of the feeding of the printing sheet during each scan corresponds to the width of the scanning area of the reacting liquid ejection orifices, that is, A=(n&#x2212;a)&#xd7;p. With this system, the width of the scanning area, wherein ejection of the reacting liquid precedes ejection of the ink, is made shorter by C=a&#xd7;p than the width of following scanning area; the scanning area having the width C is scanned two times by the row of the ink ejection orifices, and the thinning process is applied to this area having the width C.

A data transfer circuit or a recording apparatus includes an address setting unit for setting a start address for a buffer memory, an offset setting unit for setting an offset for the buffer memory, and an address creating unit for creating a predetermined number of consecutive transfer addresses to be supplied for the buffer memory using a reference address. The circuit also includes an arithmetic logic unit that, after the address creating unit has created transfer addresses using the start address as a reference address, calculates a new reference address in accordance with the offset relative to the start address so as to provide the new reference address to the address creating unit.

A packaging structure of the present invention is provided for an ink tank having an ink supply port and an atmosphere communicating port. It has a seal member for sealing the ink supply port, a seal member for sealing the atmosphere communicating port, and an integrated covering member for integrally covering the ink tank having at least these seal members. A partial breakage of the covering member leads to open the atmosphere communicating port at first. Thus, the combination of the packaging structure and the ink tank is constructed so as to open the atmosphere communicating port at first with reliability. It is functionally required at the time of pulling out the ink tank from the package and also at the time of physical distribution without causing an ink leakage, regardless of the shape of the ink tank.

Packaging structure for ink tank and ink tank packaged in such packaging structure

A liquid storing container employable for an ink jet recording apparatus includes a housing, a storing area containing a porous ink absorbing member, a valve mechanism, a filter in contact with the porous member, and a stopper. The liquid storing container is detachably connected to an ink jet recording head, where the valve mechanism allows an outflow of ink to the ink jet head through the joint portion when connected to an ink feed pipe, and closes the joint portion when disconnected from the ink feed pipe.
