Patent ID: 11504916

Abstract:
A three-dimensional shaping apparatus includes a plasticizing section that includes a drive motor, a heater, and a screw rotated by the drive motor and that plasticizes a material to form a shaping material, a moving mechanism section that changes a relative position of an ejection section that ejects the shaping material toward a stage to the stage, a state observation section that observes a state of the drive motor or the heater, a prediction section that predicts a service life arrival time of the drive motor or the heater from an observation result of the state observation section, a notification section, and a control unit that controls the plasticizing section and the moving mechanism section to shape a three-dimensional shaped article based on shaping data. The control unit determines whether or not the service life arrival time is within a shaping time estimated based on the shaping data, and makes a notification of service life information representing a result of service life determination by controlling the notification section before shaping the three-dimensional shaped article when the service life arrival time is within the shaping time.
