Laminating molding system and laminating molding method
A laminate molding system ( 11 ) in which an article to be laminated-molded (A) is carried into a laminating apparatus from one side thereof ( 12 ) by using a carrier film (F 1 , F 2 ), and after the article (A) is laminated-molded in the laminating apparatus ( 12 ), the laminated-molded article (A) is carried out of out the laminating apparatus from another side thereof ( 12 ), in which drooping prevention mechanisms ( 18 a, 18 b ) for preventing the carrier film (F 1 ) and the laminated-molded article (A) from drooping at a molding position ( 12 a ) of the laminating apparatus ( 12 ) are respectively provided at an outer-side nearby position on a carry-in side with respect to the molding position ( 12 a ) of the laminating apparatus ( 12 ) and an outer-side nearby position on the carry-out side with respect to the molding position ( 12 a ) of the laminating apparatus ( 12 ). In this way, a laminating molding system and a laminating molding method capable of alleviating a problem in regard to the occurrence of defective molding caused by the drooping of a carrier film in a laminating apparatus are provided.
1 . A laminate molding system in which an article to be laminated-molded is carried into a laminating apparatus from one side thereof by using a carrier film, and after the article is laminated-molded in the laminating apparatus, the laminated-molded article is carried out of out the laminating apparatus from another side thereof, wherein
drooping prevention mechanisms configured to prevent the carrier film and the laminated-molded article from drooping at a molding position of the laminating apparatus are respectively provided at an outer-side nearby position on a carry-in side with respect to the molding position of the laminating apparatus and an outer-side nearby position on the carry-out side with respect to the molding position of the laminating apparatus,
wherein the drooping prevention mechanisms are provided outside of the laminating apparatus, with a first drooping prevention mechanism being provided at the carry-in side of the laminating apparatus and a second drooping prevention mechanism being provided at the carry-out side of the laminating apparatus.
2 . The laminating molding system according to claim 1 , wherein the drooping prevention mechanisms are movement restraint mechanisms configured to restrain a movement of the carrier film and each comprises a holding part configured to hold the carrier film.
3 . The laminating molding system according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the drooping prevention mechanisms is configured to move along a direction of movement of the carrier film.
4 . The laminating molding system according to claim 1 , wherein the drooping prevention mechanisms are movement restraint mechanisms configured to restrain a movement of the carrier film and each comprises an adsorption part configured to adsorb the carrier film.
5 . The laminating molding system of claim 4 , wherein the adsorption parts include porous materials.
6 . The laminating molding system according to claim 1 , wherein the drooping prevention mechanisms are carrier film deformation mechanisms configured to deform the carrier film and each comprises a deformation mechanism part configured to deform a cross-sectional shape of the carrier film.
7 . The laminating molding system of claim 6 , wherein the deforming of the cross-sectional shape of the carrier film is by applying pressure or heat.
8 . A laminating molding method in which an article to be laminated-molded is, by using a carrier film, carried into a laminating apparatus from one side thereof, and after the article is laminated-molded in the laminating apparatus, the laminated-molded article is carried out of the laminating apparatus from another side thereof, wherein
after a movement of the carrier film is restrained by operating drooping prevention mechanisms, the article to be laminated-molded is laminated-molded by forming a vacuum chamber of the laminating apparatus or by using the laminating apparatus, the drooping prevention mechanisms being provided outside of the laminating apparatus, with a first drooping prevention mechanism being provided at an outer-side nearby position on a carry-in side with respect to a molding position of the laminating apparatus, and a second drooping prevention mechanism being provided at an outer-side nearby position on the carry-out side with respect to the molding position of the laminating apparatus, the drooping prevention mechanisms being and configured to prevent the carrier film and the laminated-molded article from drooping at the molding position of the laminating apparatus.
9 . The laminating molding method according to claim 8 , wherein a weight of each laminated-molded article is 500 g to 8 kg.
