Provided is an apparatus for manufacturing a three-dimensional object that may allow a support material to land on a table before a modeling material irrespective of the moving direction of a carriage. The apparatus includes a modeling material head that ejects an ink for object shaping, support material heads that eject an ink for supporting the three-dimensional object, color ink heads that eject color inks, curing units for curing the ejected inks, and a flattening roller unit with a flattening roller used to flatten surfaces of the ejected inks. In the apparatus, one of the curing units, the flattening roller unit, one of the support material heads, the modeling material head, the color ink heads, the other support material head, and the other curing unit are arranged and mounted in the carriage in the mentioned order from one side to the other in the main scanning direction.

Apparatus for manufacturing three-dimensional object

A three-dimensional object includes an outer-layer member and an inner structural member. The outer-layer member is a layer to constitute the surface of the three-dimensional object, and includes an inner space. The outer-layer member is made up of a plurality of divided outer-layer pieces formed of build material, which is functional ink ejected from a droplet ejection head and cured. The inner structural member is disposed in the inner space of the outer-layer member and configured to support the outer-layer member.

Three-dimensional object and method for forming three-dimensional object

A three-dimensional object production apparatus includes a table, an ink-jet head, a flattening roller, a carriage, and a roller lifting-lowering mechanism. The ink-jet head is configured to eject ink droplets toward the table. The flattening roller is configured to flatten a surface of a layer of the ink. The carriage is configured to carry the ink-jet head and the flattening roller. The roller lifting-lowering mechanism is configured to lift and lower the flattening roller, and includes a roller holding member configured to rotatable hold the flattening roller, and a swing mechanism configured to cause the roller holding member to swing between a contact position and a retracted position. The flattening roller is able to contact the surface of the layer of the ink when the contact position is reached, and is retracted to be more on an upward side than the surface of the layer of the ink when the retracted position is reached.

Three-dimensional object production apparatus

An electronic component mounting device, includes a stage in which a plurality of stage portions are defined, a first heater provided in the plurality of stage portions respectively, and the first heater which can be controlled independently, a mounting head arranged over the stage, and a second heater provided in the mounting head.
