A sensor includes a structure and a detector. The detector is arranged to detect a deformation of the structure. The structure has at least four elastic sections. The at least four elastic sections are discretely disposed in an imaginary plane.

Sensor, device, system, and manufacturing method for product

An additive manufacturing apparatus includes a supporting portion, a powder supplying portion, a flattening member, a curing portion, and a controller. The supporting portion is configured to detachably support a shaping stage. The powder supplying portion is configured to supply powder. The flattening member is configured to move in a scanning manner above the shaping stage attached to the supporting portion. The controller is configured to execute a measuring process of detecting inclination between a shaping surface of the shaping stage attached to the supporting portion and a trajectory plane of a trajectory of scanning movement of the flattening member, an adjustment process of adjusting an orientation of the shaping stage on a basis of a detection result of the measuring process such that a degree of parallel between the shaping surface and the trajectory plane increases, a powder layer formation process, and a curing process.

Method for manufacturing product, and additive manufacturing apparatus

A three-dimensional shaping apparatus includes an ejection portion, a base stage, a movement portion, and a controller. The ejection portion configured to eject a fused thermoplastic resin. The movement portion configured to change relative positions of the ejection portion and the base stage. The controller configured to control the movement portion and the ejection portion such that a wall is formed by ejecting a fused thermoplastic resin from the ejection portion while relatively moving the ejection portion with respect to the base stage to provide a space surrounded by the wall in a horizontal direction and open in an upward direction, and such that a filling portion is formed by injecting a fused thermoplastic resin into the space from above.

Method of producing three-dimensionally shaped object and three-dimensional shaping apparatus

A roller member used in an image forming apparatus including: a metallic shaft; and a covering layer, wherein the metallic shaft has a cylindrical shape formed so that one end portion and the other end portion of the metallic plate oppose each other, the one end portion and the other end portion each include a straight portion, a projection, and a depression, the projections on the one end portion engage the depressions on the other end portion, a straight area is located outside a projection and depression area in which the projection on the one end portion and the projection on the other end portion are aligned in an axial direction of the metallic shaft, and the projection and depression area is entirely covered with the covering layer and at least part of the straight area is exposed from the covering layer.
