Abstract:
1. A three-dimensional modeling apparatus, comprising: a stage; a head unit including an inkjet head containing at least one process liquid that is one of a solution and a dispersion liquid that is deposited onto the stage to cause a material that constitutes a three-dimensional object to be precipitated out of the process liquid by evaporating one of a solvent and a dispersion medium therefrom; a movement mechanism configured to relatively move the head unit and the stage by means of at least one drive; a print base plate having first and second openings, the inkjet head being movable over the first opening, the process liquid being deposited onto the stage via the first opening, and the second opening being structured such that the three-dimensional object is enabled to pass through the second opening; and a controller operatively connected to each drive of the movement mechanism to form the three-dimensional object, wherein,
