Abstract:
A three-dimensional molding method in which a step of sintering a powder layer with a laser light or an electron beam after a flat surface has been formed by sliding of a squeegee against the powder layer is repeated in a prescribed number of times, and then the periphery is cut, in order to mold both the object  1  to be molded and a support structure  2  that supports the lower side of the object  1  from below and is intended to be removed after molding, wherein in the support structure  2 , the upper parts of the struts connected to the object  1  to be molded employ truncated circular conic shapes or partial truncated circular conic shapes that are reduced in diameter toward the top.

Claim (Index 4):
The three-dimensional molding method according to  claim 1 , wherein the step of sintering includes the step of setting an exposure dose per unit area with the laser light or the electron beam during molding of the struts to be lower than an exposure dose per unit area on an outer surface of the object to be molded and a vicinity thereof.
