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 13):
The three-dimensional molding method according to  claim 12 , wherein the steps of forming and sintering include the step of forming the lower supporting members as struts with upper parts thereof orthogonal with a lower side of the middle partition plate and lower parts thereof orthogonal to a base plate.
