Shaping apparatus
A shaping apparatus includes a stand that includes a shaping surface on which a product is shaped; a feeder that feeds a linear material obtained by impregnating continuous fiber with resin; a pressing portion that presses the material fed by the feeder against the stand; and an angle setting portion that sets an angle formed between the material fed from the feeder to the pressing portion and the shaping surface to be an acute angle.
1. A shaping apparatus comprising:
a stand that includes a shaping surface on which a product is shaped;
a feeder that feeds a linear material obtained by impregnating continuous fiber with resin;
a pressing portion, comprising a roller, that presses the material fed by the feeder against the stand; and
an angle setting portion, comprising a roller disposed between the feeder and the pressing portion, that sets an angle formed between the material fed from the feeder to the pressing portion and the shaping surface to be an acute angle.
2. The shaping apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the angle setting portion sets the angle to be smaller than or equal to 45 degrees.
3. The shaping apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the angle setting portion sets the angle to be larger than or equal to 15 degrees.
4. The shaping apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the angle setting portion maintains tension exerted on the material within a given predetermined range.
5. The shaping apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the angle setting portion maintains tension exerted on the material within a predetermined range.
6. The shaping apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein the angle setting portion maintains tension exerted on the material within a predetermined range.
7. The shaping apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein the angle setting portion presses the material from a side opposite to the shaping surface to exert tension on the material.
8. The shaping apparatus according to claim 5 ,
wherein the angle setting portion presses the material from a side opposite to the shaping surface to exert tension on the material.
9. The shaping apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein the angle setting portion presses the material from a side opposite to the shaping surface to exert tension on the material.
10. The shaping apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein the angle setting portion adjusts the angle and the tension in accordance with a type of the resin of the material.
11. The shaping apparatus according to claim 5 ,
wherein the angle setting portion adjusts the angle and the tension in accordance with a type of the resin of the material.
12. The shaping apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein the angle setting portion adjusts the angle and the tension in accordance with a type of the resin of the material.
13. The shaping apparatus according to claim 7 ,
wherein the angle setting portion adjusts the angle and the tension in accordance with a type of the resin of the material.
14. The shaping apparatus according to claim 8 ,
wherein the angle setting portion adjusts the angle and the tension in accordance with a type of the resin of the material.
15. The shaping apparatus according to claim 9 ,
wherein the angle setting portion adjusts the angle and the tension in accordance with a type of the resin of the material.
16. The shaping apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an impregnation portion that impregnates the continuous fiber with the resin to form the material.
17. The shaping apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a heating portion that heats the material fed to the pressing portion to a temperature higher than or equal to a melting point of the resin of the material.
18. The shaping apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pressing portion heats the pressed material to a temperature higher than or equal to a melting point of the resin of the material.
