Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided a method of manufacturing a three-dimensional structure, in which the three-dimensional structure is manufactured by laminating a layer, the method including: forming the layer using a three-dimension formation composition containing particles having hydrophilicity on a surface thereof, a water-soluble resin, and a water-based solvent; and discharging an ultraviolet-curable ink containing a water-soluble monomer onto the layer.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a three-dimensional structure, in which the three-dimensional structure is manufactured by laminating a layer, the method comprising: forming the layer using a three-dimension formation composition containing particles having hydrophilicity on a surface thereof, a water-soluble resin, and a water-based solvent; and discharging an ultraviolet-curable ink containing a water-soluble monomer onto the layer. 2. The method of manufacturing a three-dimensional structure according to claim 1 , further comprising: removing the particles, which are not bound by the ultraviolet-curable ink, after repeating the forming of the layer and the discharging of the ultraviolet-curable ink. 3. The method of manufacturing a three-dimensional structure according to claim 1 , wherein the particle has at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, and an amino group, on the surface thereof. 4. The method of manufacturing a three-dimensional structure according to claim 1 , wherein the water-soluble monomer is at least one selected from the group consisting of 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate, 2-hydroxybutyl acrylate, and phenol-based epoxy acrylate. 5. The method of manufacturing a three-dimensional structure according to claim 1 , wherein the water-soluble resin contains at least one selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sodium polyacrylate, ammonium polyacrylate, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyethylene oxide, polyethylene glycol, polyacryl amide, and polyethylene imine. 6. A three-dimension formation material set, which is used to manufacture a three-dimensional structure by laminating a layer, the set comprising: a three-dimension formation composition containing particles having hydrophilicity on a surface thereof, a water-soluble resin, and a water-based solvent; and an ultraviolet-curable ink containing a water-soluble monomer. 7. A three-dimensional structure, which is manufactured by the method of manufacturing a three-dimensional structure according to claim 1 . 8. A three-dimensional structure, which is manufactured by the method of manufacturing a three-dimensional structure according to claim 2 . 9. A three-dimensional structure, which is manufactured by the method of manufacturing a three-dimensional structure according to claim 3 . 10. A three-dimensional structure, which is manufactured by the method of manufacturing a three-dimensional structure according to claim 4 . 11. A three-dimensional structure, which is manufactured by the method of manufacturing a three-dimensional structure according to claim 5 .
