Title: Method for manufacturing sintered product from three-dimensional object, and 3d shaping inkjet ink

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a sintered product from a three-dimensional object, and a 3D shaping inkjet ink. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     Ceramic products are manufactured by molding a mixture of a ceramic raw material powder and an organic binder by injection molding, extrusion molding, casting molding, or the like, and then performing a degreasing step and a sintering step (Non Patent Literature 1). 
     As the organic binder, for example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a copolymer having a segment derived from a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer and a specific polyalkylene oxide segment. 
     As a mixture, for example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a ceramic paste containing a binder resin composition and a ceramic powder. The binder resin composition is a binder resin composition in which a copolymer having a segment derived from a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer and a polyalkylene oxide segment is used as a matrix resin. Patent Literature 1 states that this ceramic paste is screen-printed and fired to obtain a layered ceramic sintered body. 
     As a method for forming a three-dimensional shape, in addition to repeating such screen printing, a 3D printing shaping method of repeating ejecting a liquid curable ink to form an ink layer and curing the ink layer to form a cured layer, thereby forming a three-dimensional shape is known as a 3D (three-dimensional) shaping method. 
     Also in the manufacturing of ceramic products, attempts have been made with a manufacturing method for ceramic products by using a 3D printing shaping method for molding (Non Patent Literature 2). 
     For example, Patent Literature 2 discloses a method including a step of 3D printing a desired 3-dimensional object by using, as a feedstock, a suspension containing a ceramic material, a polymer material, and the like at 50 to 95 wt % (w/w) of the total weight, a step of performing sintering, and the like.

     SUMMARY OF INVENTION 
     Technical Problems 
     Conventionally, when a sintered product is manufactured by degreasing and sintering a three-dimensional object, in a degreasing step, heating is performed rapidly (for example, at a temperature rising rate of 10° C./min) to a desired degreasing temperature, and then heating is performed at a constant degreasing temperature until most of the organic substance in the three-dimensional object is removed. 
     However, when a three-dimensional object having a large resin content is degreased in a conventional degreasing step, there has been a problem that defects such as cracking and distortion are likely to occur. 
     Furthermore, among inks used for 3D printing, ink ejected by an inkjet method needs to have a low volume ratio of the ceramic material because the ink is ejected from the inkjet nozzle. 
     However, when the volume ratio of the ceramic material is reduced, the storability of the ink may be insufficient, and when a shaped object formed from the ink is degreased, shrinkage of the formed object may be significantly uneven and cracking may occur, and a ceramic product may not be obtained due to generation of cracks at the time of subsequent sintering. 
     In view of the above, the present invention is required to appropriately manufacture a sintered product from a three-dimensional object. 
     Solutions to Problems 
     A method for manufacturing a sintered product from a three-dimensional object according to the present invention includes: 
     a step of forming a multilayer made of an ink containing inorganic particles and an organic material to prepare a three-dimensional object; 
     a first degreasing step of heating the three-dimensional object at a first average degreasing temperature for a first heating time under an inert gas atmosphere to degrease the organic material; 
     a second degreasing step of heating the three-dimensional object degreased in the first degreasing step, under an inert gas atmosphere at a second average degreasing temperature higher than the first average degreasing temperature for a second heating time to degrease the organic material; and 
     a sintering step of sintering the three-dimensional object degreased in the second degreasing step, at an average sintering temperature higher than the second average degreasing temperature to obtain a sintered product. 
     According to the above configuration, degreasing is performed stepwise, and thus occurrence of defects such as cracking and distortion can be suppressed. As a result, the sintered product can be appropriately manufactured from the three-dimensional object. 
     In the first degreasing step and the second degreasing step, a temperature rising rate at the time of heating to the first average degreasing temperature and the second average degreasing temperature is desirably less than 10° C./min. 
     According to the above configuration, the temperature rising rate is low, and thus the possibility of occurrence of defects is further reduced. 
     The second average degreasing temperature is desirably a temperature at which when an object containing the organic material is heated at the temperature under an inert gas atmosphere for 30 minutes, 80 mass % or more of the organic material in the object before heating is degreased. 
     According to the above configuration, most of the organic material is degreased from the three-dimensional object before firing, and thus the total amount itself of the organic material released from the three-dimensional object at the time of sintering is reduced. As a result, the possibility of occurrence of defects in the sintering step is further reduced. 
     The method for manufacturing a sintered product from a three-dimensional object desirably further includes, between the first degreasing step and the second degreasing step, one or more additional degreasing steps of heating and degreasing the three-dimensional object under an inert atmosphere at an average degreasing temperature higher than the first average degreasing temperature and lower than the second average degreasing temperature, in which 
     when the method includes two or more of the additional degreasing steps, the average degreasing temperature of each of the additional degreasing steps is increased stepwise. 
     According to the above configuration, degreasing is performed in a further stepwise manner, and thus the possibility of occurrence of defects is further reduced. 
     The present inventors have studied the composition of the ink and degreasing. The present inventors have found that when a 3D object obtained by ejecting and curing ink is degreased to a specific degreasing percentage under a nitrogen atmosphere, the shape of the degreased body is temporarily retained, and a ceramic product is obtained without cracking at the time of firing. In addition, the present inventors have found that use of a plurality of types of polymerizable compounds as a curable binder component facilitates degreasing to a specific degreasing percentage. 
     In other words, the 3D shaping inkjet ink according to the present invention is 
     a 3D shaping inkjet ink containing: a ceramic component; and a curable binder component, 
     in which the curable binder component is a component that can be degreased at a degreasing percentage at which when a degreased body is obtained by degreasing a 3D object formed by curing the 3D shaping inkjet ink, a shape of the degreased body is maintained, and 
     the curable binder component contains a plurality of types of polymerizable compounds. 
     According to the above configuration, a ceramic product can be easily obtained without cracking when a 3D object formed by inkjet printing is fired. As a result, the sintered product can be appropriately manufactured from the three-dimensional object. 
     The content of the ceramic component in the 3D shaping inkjet ink is preferably 10 vol % or more and 50 vol % or less. 
     According to the above configuration, the ink ejectability is excellent. 
     The plurality of types of polymerizable compounds are preferably components with which the 3D object shrinks without cracking when the 3D object is degreased. 
     According to the above configuration, cracking hardly occurs even when the obtained degreased body is sintered, and a ceramic product is easily obtained. 
     The plurality of types of polymerizable compounds preferably have a degreasing percentage of 80 wt % or more and 90 wt % or less when the degreasing temperature is 320° C. or higher and 350° C. or lower. 
     According to the above configuration, when the 3D object is fired, the change in shape of the sintered body is small, and cracking hardly occurs. 
     The plurality of types of polymerizable compounds preferably include a monomer and an oligomer. 
     According to the above configuration, the change in shape between the 3D object and the sintered body thereof is smaller. 
     The plurality of types of polymerizable compounds preferably include a monofunctional polymerizable compound and a polyfunctional polymerizable compound. 
     According to the above configuration, the change in shape between the 3D object and the sintered body thereof is smaller. 
     The plurality of types of polymerizable compounds preferably include: at least one monofunctional monomer selected from the group consisting of benzyl acrylate, phenoxyethyl acrylate, and 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acrylate; and a polyfunctional urethane acrylate-based oligomer. 
     According to the above configuration, the change in shape between the 3D object and the sintered body thereof is smaller. 
     Effect of the Invention 
     According to the present invention, a sintered product can be appropriately manufactured from a three-dimensional object.

     DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
     (Manufacturing Method for Sintered Product) 
     A manufacturing method for a sintered product according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the manufacturing method, as shown in  FIG.  1   , a three-dimensional object is prepared (step S 11 ), the three-dimensional object is degreased in at least two stages at different temperatures (step S 12 ), and finally the three-dimensional object after degreasing is sintered to obtain a sintered product (step S 13 ). 
     (Step S 11 ) 
     In step S 11 , a three-dimensional object is prepared. 
     The three-dimensional object is formed of a mixture of shaping inorganic particles and a shaping organic material. The state of each of the shaping inorganic particles and the shaping organic material is desirably a solid, but may be another state, for example, a gel. 
     The ratio of the shaping inorganic particles to the shaping organic material in the three-dimensional object may be 0.5 to 2.0, 0.5 to 1.5, or particularly 0.5 to 1.0 as a value obtained by dividing the mass of the shaping inorganic particles by the mass of the shaping organic material. 
     (Shaping Inorganic Particles) 
     The shaping inorganic particles are arbitrary as long as they are inorganic particles that are integrated with each other after sintering in step S 13  described later and constitute a sintered product. 
     The particle size of the shaping inorganic particles is arbitrary as long as the sintered product can be formed after sintering in step S 13 . 
     Examples of the component of the shaping inorganic particles include a ceramic material, a metal material, a carbon material, or a mixture thereof. Each particle of the shaping inorganic particles may be composed of a single material or may be composed of a mixture of a plurality of materials. The shaping inorganic particles may be composed of a mixture of particles made of a plurality of different materials. 
     The ceramic material is an inorganic nonmetallic material made of a compound containing a metal element and a nonmetallic element. Examples of the ceramic material include TCP (tricalcium phosphate), MCP (monocalcium phosphate), DCP (dicalcium phosphate), tetracalcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, α-TCP, β-TCP, titanium oxide (titania), aluminum oxide (alumina), zirconium oxide (zirconia), yttrium oxide (yttria), yttria stabilized zirconia, indium oxide, indium tin oxide, boron nitride, silicon carbide, boron carbide, tungsten carbide, beryllium oxide, zeolite, cerium oxide (ceria), tungsten disilicide, sodium silicide, platinum silicide, zirconium nitride, tungsten nitride, vanadium nitride, tantalum nitride, niobium nitride, silicon boride, clay, earth, soil, cement, Portland cement, silica, barium titanate, lead zirconate titanium, zinc oxide, potassium niobate, lithium niobate, sodium tungstate, glass, geopolymer, sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, calcium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, strontium oxide, strontium phosphate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium fluoride and mixtures thereof.

     Examples of the carbon material include carbon allotropes such as graphite, graphene, and carbon nanotube. 
     (Shaping Organic Material) 
     The shaping organic material is any organic material that is mixed with the shaping inorganic particles in the three-dimensional object and provides strength enough to maintain the three-dimensional shape of the three-dimensional object at the stage of degreasing and sintering. 
     Most of the shaping organic material is degreased in step S 12  described later, but the remaining shaping organic material can help maintain the three-dimensional shape of the three-dimensional object through steps S 12  and S 13 . 
     Examples of the shaping organic material include polymer materials. 
     Examples of the polymer material include polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyglycolic acid (PGA), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(1,4-phenylene sulfide) (PPS), poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO), polyimide (PA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyetherketone (PEK), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyimide (PI), polyoxymethylene (POM), polysulfone (PSU), polyurethane (PU), polybutadiene (PB), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), perfluoroalkoxy polymer (PFA), fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), polyethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), polyethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyhydroxyalkanoic acid (PHA), polyhydroxy valeric acid (PHV), polyhydroxybutyric acid (PHB), liquid crystal polymers, polyacrylate, polyacetal, polyamideimide (PAI), polybutylene (PB), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), polymethylpentane (PMP), alginate, chitin, chitosan, acrylic acid, hyaluronic acid, starch, amylose, amylopectin, pectin, dextran, pullulan, gum arabic, xanthan gum, pullulan, cellulose, elastin, collagen, gelatin, fibronectin, silk, polysaccharide, protein, nucleic acid, rubber, silicone, and copolymers thereof. 
     (Other Components) 
     The three-dimensional object may contain components such as a pigment, a monomer, an oligomer, a polymerization initiator, a dispersant, an antioxidant, a surfactant, and a solvent. Among these components, those satisfying the definition of the shaping inorganic particles are counted as the shaping inorganic particles, and those satisfying the definition of the shaping organic material are counted as the shaping organic material. On the other hand, among these components, those that do not satisfy the definitions of the shaping inorganic particles and the shaping organic material described above are referred to as other components. 
     The three-dimensional object may contain other components to such an extent as not to affect the shape of the three-dimensional object after degreasing in step S 12  or sintering in step S 13 . The three-dimensional object may contain, for example, 33.3 to 66.7 mass %, 40 to 66.7 mass %, or 50 to 66.7 mass % of other components with respect to the mass of the three-dimensional object. 
     (Shaping Method for Three-Dimensional Object) 
     The shaping method for the three-dimensional object prepared in step S 11  is not particularly limited, but an additive manufacturing method, in particular, an additive manufacturing method of a material injection method may be used. For example, a method of forming a multilayer made of a three-dimensional shaping ink by an inkjet method or a dispenser method to form a three-dimensional object may be used. 
     In this shaping method for a three-dimensional object, a three-dimensional object having a desired three-dimensional shape is shaped by printing and forming layers, one by one, included in a multilayer made of a three-dimensional shaping ink, and curing the layered object by an external stimulation such as radiation irradiation (for example, ultraviolet irradiation) or heating. 
     The three-dimensional shaping ink contains shaping inorganic particles and a fluid capable of forming the above-described polymer material, which is a shaping organic material. 
     The particle size of the shaping inorganic particles is arbitrary as long as it can be ejected from an inkjet nozzle or a dispenser nozzle. The particle size is, for example, 1 μm or less, preferably 500 nm or less, more preferably 400 nm or less, and still more preferably 300 nm or less. The particle size is 10 nm or more, preferably 50 nm or more, more preferably 100 nm or more, and still more preferably 200 nm or more. The particle size is particularly preferably 200 nm or more and 500 nm or less. 
     The fluid capable of forming the polymer material may be any fluid as long as it contains a polymerizable compound (for example, a monomer or a polymer having a lower degree of polymerization than that of the above-described polymer material) to be a raw material of the polymer material and can be ejected from an inkjet nozzle or a dispenser nozzle (for example, a liquid, a gel, or the like). Examples of the fluid include a fluid of the polymerizable compound described above, a solution in which the polymerizable compound is dissolved, a dispersion in which a fluid or solid particles of the polymerizable compound are dispersed, and gels of these solutions or dispersions. 
     The three-dimensional shaping ink may contain any additional components, for example, a solvent, a dispersant, a surface tension regulator, a polymerization initiator, a polymerization inhibitor, and the like according to an ink ejecting method and an ink curing method. 
     Furthermore, in some additive manufacturing methods (for example, the shaping method for a three-dimensional object by the inkjet method described above), the periphery of the three-dimensional object may be surrounded with a supporting composition in order to maintain the shape of the uncured three-dimensional object. 
     When such a supporting composition is deposited around the three-dimensional object, the supporting composition is preferably removed before moving to step S 12 . For example, in the case of a washable supporting composition (for example, a water-soluble supporting composition that can be washed with water), the supporting composition is washed and removed between steps S 11  and S 12 . 
     When the supporting composition is naturally removed by heating in step S 12  or step S 13 , it is not necessary to remove the supporting composition before moving to step S 12 . For example, when the supporting composition is the polymer material described above, most of the supporting composition is substantially removed in steps S 12  and S 13  together with the shaping organic material of the three-dimensional object, and it is therefore not necessary to provide an independent removing step of the supporting composition. In addition, in the case of washing and removing the supporting composition still remaining through steps S 12  and S 13 , the amount of the supporting composition to be removed is greatly reduced, so that energy consumption is reduced. 
     (Step S 12 ) 
     In step S 12 , the three-dimensional object is heated at least in two stages at different temperatures under an inert gas atmosphere such as a nitrogen atmosphere to perform degreasing. 
     Specifically, step S 12  includes n (n is an integer of 2 or more) steps SD 1  to SDn which are inert gas atmosphere degreasing steps. In each step SDk (k is 1 to n), the three-dimensional object is heated at a temperature Tk for a time Pk under the same or different inert gas atmosphere. For example, when n is 2, step SD 1  is the first degreasing step and step SD 2  is the second degreasing step. 
     The temperature T 1  in step SD 1  is the first average degreasing temperature during the execution of step SD 1 . The heating time P 1  at this time is the first heating time. 
     The temperature T 2  in step SD 2  is the second average degreasing temperature during the execution of step SD 2 . The heating time P 2  at this time is the second heating time. 
     (Heating Temperature) 
     The heating temperature Tk in each step SDk is set so as to satisfy Tk&lt;Tk+1. 
     The heating temperature T 1  in the first step SD 1  may be higher than 25° C., and may be, for example, 100° C. or higher. 
     The heating temperature Tn in the last step SDn is desirably determined from the proportion of the organic substance to be degreased based on the relationship between the temperature and the limit degreasing percentage described below. 
     (Limit Degreasing Percentage) 
     Generally, in the case of heating an object at a certain temperature T to degrease the object, when the object is heated for a sufficiently long time, the organic substance in the object cannot be removed at R mass % or more based on the content of the organic substance in the object before degreasing. This R is referred to herein as the limit degreasing percentage at the temperature T. 
     The limit degreasing percentage can be determined, for example, by measuring the densities of a certain object before and after degreasing, and taking a degreasing percentage at which no substantial change in density occurs, as the limit degreasing percentage. 
     As the temperature increases, the limit degreasing percentage monotonically increases. Thus, the limit degreasing percentage and the temperature have a one-to-one correspondence relationship. Therefore, the heating temperature in the degreasing step can be determined from the proportion of the organic substance to be degreased in the degreasing step. It is considered that almost the same limit degreasing percentage corresponds to the same temperature even in degreasing under different inert gas atmospheres. 
     In step S 12 , when it is necessary to remove up to W mass % of the organic substance (in particular, the shaping organic material) in the three-dimensional object with respect to the initial amount but not to remove any more, the heating temperature Tn in the last step SDn is desirably set to a temperature corresponding to the limit degreasing percentage of W mass %. 
     The heating temperature Tn in the last step SDn may also be, for example, a temperature at which when an object containing a shaping organic material is heated at the temperature under an inert gas atmosphere for 30 minutes, 80 mass % or more of the shaping organic material in the object before heating is degreased. 
     When the degreasing percentage is increased, for example, when 80 mass % or more of the shaping organic material before heating is degreased, most of the organic material is degreased from the three-dimensional object before firing. As a result, the total amount itself of the organic material released from the three-dimensional object at the time of sintering is reduced. Therefore, the possibility of occurrence of defects in the sintering step is further reduced. 
     (Heating Time) 
     The heating time Pn in the last step SDn is desirably set to a length that can achieve 70%, 80%, 90%, 99%, or 100% of the limit degreasing percentage at the corresponding heating temperature Tn. 
     The heating time Pk in each step SDk excluding the last step SDn may be set to a length that can achieve 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99%, or 100% of the limit degreasing percentage at the corresponding heating temperature Tk. 
     (Implementation of Steps SD 1  to SDn) 
     Steps SD 1  to SDn may be performed continuously in the same degreasing apparatus, or may be performed in different degreasing apparatuses. In any case, the three-dimensional object after degreasing may be taken out and temporarily stored in a storage place outside the degreasing apparatus at a temperature lower than that in the degreasing apparatus (for example, at 25° C.) between steps SD 1  to SDn. 
     Furthermore, when the three-dimensional object stored outside the degreasing apparatus is subjected to step SDk, for example, when the first step SD 1  is performed, or when the three-dimensional object temporarily stored outside the degreasing apparatus as described above is subjected to step SDk, the three-dimensional object may be preheated at a preheating temperature lower than the degreasing temperature of the step (additional degreasing step). 
     When step SDk and the next step SDk+1 are continuously performed in the same degreasing apparatus, the temperature rising rate is desirably set to such an extent that no defect of the three-dimensional object occurs, and is preferably less than 10° C./min, for example. The same applies to the temperature rising rate in the case of performing the preheating described above. 
     Steps SD 1  to SDn can be performed by a degreasing method under any suitable inert gas atmosphere. As the degreasing apparatus, an electric furnace or the like can be used. 
     (Degreasing Percentage) 
     In step S 12 , most of the organic substance in the three-dimensional object is finally removed. For example, at least 70 mass %, 75 mass %, 80 mass %, 85 mass %, 90 mass %, 95 mass %, or 99 mass % of the total amount of the organic substance in the three-dimensional object prepared in step S 11  may be removed through step S 12 . Furthermore, for example, at least 70 mass %, 75 mass %, 80 mass %, 85 mass %, 90 mass %, 95 mass %, or 99 mass % of the total amount of the shaping organic material in the three-dimensional object prepared in step S 11  may be removed through step S 12 . 
     Furthermore, as described above, the shaping organic material remaining in the three-dimensional object during and/or after degreasing can help maintain the three-dimensional shape of the three-dimensional object through steps S 12  and S 13 . Therefore, for example, at least 1 mass %, 5 mass %, 10 mass %, 15 mass %, 20 mass %, 25 mass %, or 30 mass % of the total amount of the shaping organic material in the three-dimensional object prepared in step S 11  may be left in the three-dimensional object after step S 12 . 
     (Degreasing Under Oxygen Atmosphere) 
     Furthermore, after the degreasing under an inert gas atmosphere described above, the three-dimensional object may be optionally further heated and degreased under an oxygen atmosphere such as the atmosphere. In this case, for example, it is desirable that 80% of degreasing in the above-described degreasing percentage be achieved by degreasing under an inert gas atmosphere, and the remaining 20% be achieved by degreasing under an oxygen atmosphere. Degreasing under an oxygen atmosphere can be performed by any appropriate degreasing method. 
     (Step S 13 ) 
     In step S 13 , the three-dimensional object degreased in step S 12  is sintered to obtain a sintered product. 
     The sintering temperature is higher than the heating temperature Tn (second average degreasing temperature) in the last step SDn in step S 12  described above. The sintering temperature is arbitrary as long as the shaping inorganic particles are integrated with each other after sintering to form a sintered product. For example, when the material of the shaping inorganic particles is alumina, the sintering temperature is preferably 1,500° C. to 1,700° C. The sintering temperature in the present invention is an average sintering temperature during execution of step S 13 . 
     Sintering can be performed by any suitable sintering method. As the sintering apparatus, an electric furnace or the like can be used. 
     (Effect of Present Manufacturing Method) 
     Conventionally, when a sintered product is manufactured by degreasing and sintering a three-dimensional object, in the degreasing step of the three-dimensional object, heating is performed rapidly (for example, at a temperature rising rate of 10° C./min.) to a desired degreasing temperature, and then heating is performed at a constant degreasing temperature until most of the organic substance in the three-dimensional object is removed. 
     However, when a three-dimensional object having a large resin content is degreased in a conventional degreasing step, there has been a problem that defects such as cracking and distortion are likely to occur. 
     The reason why this problem occurs is as follows. In general, a certain part may be more likely to be heated than other parts in the degreasing step because the thermal conductivity is different for each part of the three-dimensional object. Therefore, when a three-dimensional object having a large resin content is degreased in the conventional degreasing step, the degree of heating is different between adjacent parts, and thus the release rate of the degreasing component released as a gas from the adjacent parts is also different. As a result, defects such as cracking and distortion are likely to occur at the boundary between such parts. 
     In addition, due to an increasing demand for a three-dimensional object having high designability, it is desired to form a three-dimensional object having a complicated design by an inkjet printer, and to manufacture a fired product by degreasing and sintering. However, the three-dimensional object formed by the inkjet printer contains a large amount of resin, and further, in the three-dimensional object having a complicated design, the unevenness of heating for each site is significant. Therefore, the possibility of the occurrence of defects as described above is higher. 
     On the other hand, according to the present manufacturing method, degreasing is performed stepwise, and thus occurrence of defects such as cracking and distortion can be suppressed. 
     As a principle thereof, the following is considered. Since the total amount itself of the gas of the organic material released from the three-dimensional object at the time of degreasing on the high temperature side is reduced, even if there is variation of heating in adjacent parts in the three-dimensional object, the influence of the gas released from those parts is small, and the possibility of occurrence of defects at the boundary between those parts is low. As a result, the occurrence of defects such as cracking and distortion can be suppressed, and a sintered product can be manufactured from a three-dimensional object. 
     Modified Example 
     When the three-dimensional object contains a plurality of organic components having different degreasing temperatures, the heating temperature Tk in each step SDk may be set according to the degreasing temperature of each of the organic components. For example, when the temperatures at which the respective organic components start to be degreased (hereinafter, referred to as a degreasing start temperature) are TD 1  to TDm (m is an integer of 2 or more) from the lower side, the heating temperature Tl+k in the m consecutive steps SDl+k (1≤l&lt;n, 1≤k≤m) may be equal to TDk, approximately the same as TDk (for example, within ±10% of TDk), or in the range of TDk −20° C. to TDk −10° C. 
     Furthermore, step SDk using the heating temperature Tk corresponding to TD 1  to TDm does not necessarily have to be continuous. For example, step SDp using the heating temperature Tp satisfying Tk≤Tp≤Tk+1 may exist between step SDk using the heating temperature Tk corresponding to TDk and step SDk+1 using the heating temperature Tk+1 corresponding to TDk+1. 
       FIG.  2    shows a schematic diagram of a TGA curve when a three-dimensional object having a certain composition is heated under a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature rising condition of 10° C./min. The horizontal axis represents the temperature (° C.), and the vertical axis represents the mass reduction rate (mass %/min) based on the initial weight. This curve has three peaks as indicated by arrows in the drawing. These three peaks indicate that the three-dimensional object contains three types of organic components having different degreasing temperatures. Note that the temperatures at which these organic components start to be degreased do not coincide with the temperatures corresponding the peaks in the drawing, and are generally lower than these temperatures and considered to be around the rising temperatures of the respective peaks. In  FIG.  2   , the degreasing start temperature of the organic component corresponding to the peak 1 is considered to be about 200° C., the degreasing start temperature of the organic component corresponding to the peak 2 is considered to be about 310° C., and the degreasing start temperature of the organic component corresponding to the peak 3 is considered to be about 420° C. In this case, the degreasing step may be performed at these temperatures. 
     The degreasing start temperature of each organic component contained in the three-dimensional object can be determined by thermogravimetry. 
     In each step SDk, instead of heating at the constant heating temperature Tk, heating may be performed in a predetermined temperature range such that the average heating temperature is the heating temperature Tk. For example, in certain step SDk, the temperature may be raised at a constant temperature rising rate or lowered at a constant temperature lowering rate in a temperature range of the heating temperature Tk±50° C., the heating temperature Tk±40° C., the heating temperature Tk±30° C., the heating temperature Tk±20° C., the heating temperature Tk±10° C., or the heating temperature Tk±5° C. such that the average heating temperature is the heating temperature Tk. At this time, the absolute value of the temperature rising rate or the temperature lowering rate in step SDk is desirably sufficiently smaller than the absolute value of the temperature rising rate between steps SD 1  to SDk (or the slowest temperature rising rate if there is a plurality of temperature rising rates). The absolute value of the temperature rising rate or the temperature lowering rate in step SDk is preferably, for example, smaller than 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%, or 5% of the temperature rising rate between steps SD 1  to SDk. The average heating temperature can be calculated by dividing the integrated value of the heating temperatures during heating by the time required for heating. Similarly, in the sintering step, heating may be performed not at a constant sintering temperature but in a predetermined temperature range such that the average sintering temperature is the above-described sintering temperature.

     Hereinafter, an ink according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. 
     Among the sintered products described above, the following 3D inkjet printer ink is used particularly for manufacturing of a ceramic product. Specifically, a 3D shaping inkjet ink containing a ceramic component and a curable binder component is used. 
     The curable binder component is a component that can be degreased at a degreasing percentage at which the shape of the degreased body is maintained when a 3D object formed by curing the 3D shaping inkjet ink is degreased to obtain a degreased body. The curable binder component contains a plurality of types of polymerizable compounds. The plurality of types of polymerizable compounds are more preferably components with which the 3D object shrinks without cracking when the 3D object is degreased. 
     Hereinafter, manufacturing of a ceramic product by using the 3D shaping inkjet ink will be described with reference to  FIGS.  4  to  9   . In the following description, the 3D shaping inkjet ink is also referred to as “ink B”. 
     Although a case of manufacturing a columnar ceramic product having a columnar cavity formed therein will be described, according to the present invention, not only the columnar ceramic product but also a ceramic product of any form can be manufactured in the same manner. 
     In this manufacturing method for a ceramic product, for example, the ink A and the ink B are ejected to a stage S from an inkjet head module (not shown) (see,  FIG.  5   ). 
     Here, the ink A is an ink containing a support material and a curable binder component. The ink B is an ink containing a ceramic component and a curable binder component. 
     Thereafter, each ejected ink is irradiated with, for example, ultraviolet to cure each ink. As a result, as shown in  FIG.  5   , one layer of a support material layer  11 , in which the ink A has been cured, and one layer of a ceramic layer  12 , in which the ink B has been cured, are formed. The irradiation timing of the ultraviolet is arbitrary, and may be after the ink A and the ink B for one layer are ejected, or may be in the middle of ejecting the ink A and the ink B for one layer. In this embodiment, the support material layer  11  is located at the center, and the ceramic layer  12  is formed on the outer side thereof. 
     Thereafter, the ejection of the ink A and the ink B and the irradiation with ultraviolet are repeated to form the ceramic layers  12 . Each time one layer is formed, the layer may be flattened with a roller or the like. The layer adheres to the underlying layer by curing of the ink. A multilayered body  20  obtained by forming the entire layers in this manner is shown in  FIG.  6   . The multilayered body  20  includes: a support body  21  formed by forming the support material layers  11  (layers of cured ink A); and a cylindrical ceramic body  22  formed by forming the ceramic layers  12  (layers of cured ink B). In  FIG.  6   , one entire layer is indicated by fine lines in the multilayered body  20 . 
     Thereafter, the multilayered body  20  is separated from the stage S and immersed in a solvent to dissolve and remove the support body  21 . As a result, a 3D object  30  (see,  FIG.  7   ) having the cylindrical ceramic body  22  is obtained. The 3D object  30  preferably has a strength capable of maintaining the shape to such an extent that degreasing and sintering operations described later can be performed. Specifically, the flexural strength of the degreased body is preferably 1 MPa or more. 
     Next, the 3D object  30  is degreased to obtain a degreased body. In degreasing, for example, heating is performed in a nitrogen atmosphere by raising the temperature stepwise at a predetermined temperature, for example, in a range of 100° C. or higher and 340° C. or lower. By this heating step, the cured body formed by curing of the curable binder component in the ink B is volatilized or volatilized after being thermally decomposed. 
     The residual amount of the cured body in the ceramic body  22  gradually decreases by heating. The degree of degrease varies depending on the binder component to be used and the heating temperature. For example, when the maximum temperature of degreasing is set to 340° C., the degreasing percentage can be set to about 85% (the residual amount of the cured body is about 15%). The degreasing percentage is not particularly limited, but is preferably in a range of 80% or more and 90% or less, and more preferably in a range of 83% or more and 88%. When the degreasing percentage is in this range, the shape of the degreased body is maintained, and cracks and the like are less likely to occur in the sintering operation described later. 
     In the degreased body after degreasing, the shape of the 3D object  30  is maintained by the remaining cured body, and for example, the size of the 3D object  30  shrinks substantially uniformly at about 63% to about 74% in dimension. The dimensional change of each of the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis may be different by about 10%, but for example, the difference in shrinkage percentage among the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis including the difference in shrinkage at the time of firing is calculated in advance to determine the dimension of the 3D object  30 , whereby a sintered body having a desired dimension is obtained. 
     The degreased body preferably has a strength capable of maintaining the shape to such an extent that the sintering operation described later can be performed. Specifically, the flexural strength of the degreased body is preferably 1 MPa or more. 
     Then, the degreased body is fired at a predetermined temperature, for example, 1,200° C. or higher and 1,250° C. or lower under an air atmosphere to obtain a ceramic product. The strength required for the sintered body varies depending on the intended purpose, but for example, the flexural strength of the sintered body is preferably 300 MPa or more. 
     The 3D shaping inkjet ink according to an embodiment of the present invention contains a ceramic component and a curable binder component.

     The 3D shaping inkjet ink according to the present embodiment can be used for shaping a 3D object by inkjet printing. For example, as described above, ink is ejected with an inkjet head module to form an ink layer, the ink is cured by ultraviolet or the like to form a ceramic layer, and these processes are repeated, thereby forming a 3D object. The thickness of each layer is not particularly limited, but is, for example, preferably 0.1 μm or more and 1 mm or less, more preferably 1 μm or more and 100 μm or less, and still more preferably 10 μm or more and 50 μm or less. 
     A ceramic product can be manufactured by the manufacturing method shown in  FIG.  9    using a 3D object. In the manufacturing method shown in  FIG.  9   , a 3D object (see,  FIGS.  5  to  7   ) is formed by the shaping method described above (step S 21 ), the 3D object is degreased (step S 22 ), and finally, the degreased body is fired (step S 23 ) to obtain a ceramic product. 
     By performing degreasing before firing and thereby removing a part of components other than the ceramic component in advance, the occurrence of cracks at the time of firing can be prevented. 
     The degreasing conditions are not particularly limited, but it is preferable to remove 80 wt % or more and 90 wt % or less (degreasing percentage) of the curable binder component in the 3D shaping inkjet ink. When the degreasing percentage is in this range, the shape can be maintained at the time of degreasing, and the strength at the time of firing the degreased body can be maintained, which is preferable. 
     The temperature condition at the time of degreasing is not particularly limited, but for example, the temperature can be raised stepwise from room temperature to 320° C. or higher and 350° C. or lower. By increasing the temperature stepwise, it is easy to maintain the shape of the degreased body. 
     The atmosphere condition at the time of degreasing is not particularly limited, and for example, the degreasing can be performed under an air atmosphere or a nitrogen atmosphere. Degreasing under a nitrogen atmosphere is preferable in that cracking occurred by rapid vaporization due to oxidization of the binder component can be prevented. 
     A ceramic product is obtained by firing the degreased body. The firing conditions are not particularly limited, but for example, by heating to 1,000° C. or higher under an air atmosphere, the organic component can be removed and the ceramic component can be sintered. More specifically, sintering can be performed at 1,600° C. for 6 hours under an air atmosphere.

     The 3D object E1 was degreased under a nitrogen atmosphere at a maximum temperature of 340° C. for a total time of 170 hours by a temperature program of a first degreasing step (300° C., 15 min), a second degreasing step (310° C., 15 min), a third degreasing step (320° C., 15 min), a fourth degreasing step (330° C., 15 min), a fifth degreasing step (340° C., 15 min), and a temperature rising rate between the steps of 40° C./h to obtain a degreased body E1. The characteristics of the shrinkage percentage of the degreased body E1 were measured. The shrinkage percentage (volume) was 65.3%, and the shrinkage percentage (X-axis length) was 25.3%. 
     Next, the degreased body E1 was fired at 1,625° C. for 58 hours under an air atmosphere to obtain a sintered body E1. The characteristics of the sintered body E1 were measured. The results are shown in Table 5 (see, Example 1). 
     A 3D object having a chess-piece shape, the object being printed using the 3D shaping inkjet ink E1 is shown on the right side in  FIG.  4   . A sintered body obtained by degreasing and sintering the 3D object is shown on the left side in  FIG.  4   .  FIG.  4    shows that the 3D object shrinks without cracking, and the shape of 3D object is maintained in the sintered body. When the 3D object having a chess-piece shape was degreased, the weight thereof was reduced to 31.7%, and the shrinkage percentages in the XYZ axes thereof were respectively 73.3%, 63.3%, and 65.0%.
