Figure 14 This is a block diagram illustrating the structure of the 3D printer 11. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the left-right direction (X-axis), front-back direction (Y-axis), and up-down direction (Z-axis) are as follows: Figure 1-13 As shown.

[0027] The printing system 10 is configured as a production line where a 3D printer 11 shapes a model as a first process, forms predetermined components on the model as a second process, and then a mounting device 12 mounts the components. The 3D printer 11 can form a wiring pattern of metal wires as the second process, and the mounting device 12 can perform the process of mounting components to predetermined positions on the wiring pattern. In addition to the mounting device 12, the printing system 10 may also include one or more mounting-related devices such as a printing device for printing solder (a viscous fluid) onto the model, a printing inspection device for checking the printing results, an installation inspection device for checking the mounting results, and a conveying device for transporting the shaped model. Furthermore, the 3D printer 11 or the mounting device 12 may also include a dispensing device for spraying conductive paste. Examples of conductive pastes include those with a structure in which metal particles are dispersed in a resin that cures by heating. For example, in conductive pastes, when the resin cures and shrinks, the metal particles dispersed in the resin come into contact. Thus, the conductive paste becomes conductive. The resin in conductive pastes, for example, is an organic adhesive that exerts its adhesive force through curing. Figure 1 The printing system 10 shown includes one mounting device 12l, but it may also include multiple mounting devices 12. In this case, from a maintenance point of view, it is preferable that the printing system 10 arranges the mounting devices 12 such that the mounting devices 12 are provided on one side of the 3D printer 11 and not provided on the other side.

[0028] The mounting device 12 is a device for mounting components onto a model created by the 3D printer 11. The mounting device 12 includes: a housing 20, a control device 21, a storage unit 23, a transport processing unit 25, an imaging unit 26, a component supply unit 27, an operation panel 29, a mounting unit 30, and a communication unit 34. The housing 20 houses the various device structures and is configured to include a mounting base 35 and a mounting module 36. The mounting base 35 is the base of the device and houses control units such as the control device 21, power control units such as power supply devices or amplifiers, and pressure circuits that supply negative or positive pressure to each unit. The mounting module 36 is disposed on the upper part of the mounting base 35 and houses various units that perform the mounting process, such as the transport processing unit 25, the imaging unit 26, the component supply unit 27, and the mounting unit 30. Figure 8-10As shown, the mounting module 36 is supported so as to be slidable with respect to the mounting base 35 along the side surface of the housing 20 between a mounting position located at the upper portion of the mounting base 35 and an open position in which the interior of the mounting base 35 is open.

[0029] The control device 21 is configured as a microprocessor centered on a control section 22 such as a CPU, and is responsible for the control of the entire device. The control device 21 outputs control signals to the conveyance processing section 25, the imaging section 26, the component supply section 27, the operation panel 29, and the mounting section 30, and inputs signals from the conveyance processing section 25, the imaging section 26, the component supply section 27, the operation panel 29, and the mounting section 30. The storage section 23 is, for example, a large-capacity storage medium such as a flash memory. In the storage section 23, mounting information 24 is stored, which contains information on components P to be mounted, a configuration order for mounting to a modeled object, a configuration position, a mounting position of a feeder 28 that picks up components, and the like. The conveyance processing section 25 performs the carrying-in of a tray 47 on which a modeled object is placed, conveyance, fixation at a mounting position, and carrying-out. The imaging section 26 is a camera that images the upper side, and images components P and the like held by a mounting head 32 of the mounting section 30. The component supply section 27 is a unit that supplies components P to the mounting section 30. The component supply section 27 mounts a feeder 28 having a tape reel that holds components to one or more mounting sections. The operation panel 29 is a unit that accepts input from an operator and presents information to the operator. The operation panel 29 is provided on the front surface of the mounting device 12, and has a display section that is a display, and an operation section that has a touch panel type and buttons.

[0030] The mounting section 30 is a unit that picks up components P from the component supply section 27 and configures them to a modeled object fixed to the conveyance processing section 25. The mounting section 30 has a head moving section 31, a mounting head 32, and a pickup member 33. The head moving section 31 has a slide that is guided by a guide rail to move in the XY direction, and a motor that drives the slide. The mounting head 32 is detachably mounted to the slide, picks up one or more components, and moves in the XY direction by the head moving section 31. One or more pickup members 33 are detachably mounted to the lower surface of the mounting head 32. The pickup member 33 can be a suction nozzle that picks up components using negative pressure, or a mechanical chuck that mechanically holds components, and the like. The communication section 34 is an interface that exchanges information with external devices such as the three-dimensional printer 11 or a management device not shown.

[0031] The three-dimensional printer 11 is a three-dimensional modeling device that models a molded article. The material of the modeling is not particularly limited, and resin and ceramic, for example, can be given. The three-dimensional printer 11 includes a control device 40, a storage section 42, a moving unit 44, an operation panel 48, a communication section 49, a first ejection unit 50, a second ejection unit 60, a first maintenance unit 70, a second maintenance unit 80, an inspection unit 90, a flattening unit 94, a dispensing unit 100, a first curing unit 115, a second curing unit 117, a heating unit 120, an opening and closing door 130, and an air supply unit 140. In addition, the three-dimensional printer 11 includes a housing 13, a first frame 16, a second frame 17, and a third frame 18 as a structure. Here, a case in which the three-dimensional printer 11 performs processing in which the first ejection unit 50 models an insulator, such as a substrate that is a base material of a molded article, and the second ejection unit 60 forms a wiring pattern on the modeled insulator will be mainly described.

[0032] The housing 13 is provided with the mounting device 12 that mounts an element of a molded article adjacent to one side surface, and houses a plurality of units. A moving opening portion 128 for moving a tray 47 that is an object on which a molded article is placed between the housing 13 and the mounting device 12 is formed in one side surface of the housing 13 (refer to FIG. 1). Figure 11 ) The housing 13 is provided with the opening and closing door 130 for maintenance of any one of the plurality of units at least on the front surface and the side surface opposite to the side surface adjacent to the mounting device 12. In addition, here, a case in which the moving opening portion 128 is formed in the left side surface of the housing 13 will be described as a specific example, but the moving opening portion 128 can be formed in the right side surface of the housing 13. The housing 13 includes a modeling base 14 that is a base, and a modeling module 15 that is provided on the upper portion of the modeling base 14 and houses a plurality of units. The modeling base 14 houses a power control unit such as a power supply device or an amplifier, a pressure circuit that supplies negative pressure or positive pressure to each unit, and the like. The modeling module 15 is provided on the upper portion of the modeling base 14, and houses various units that perform modeling processing, such as the first ejection unit 50, the second ejection unit 60, the first maintenance unit 70, the second maintenance unit 80, the inspection unit 90, the flattening unit 94, the dispensing unit 100, the first curing unit 115, the second curing unit 117, the heating unit 120, and the like.

[0033] As Figure 2 , 3As shown, the first rack 16 is fixed to the front side region of the housing 13. The first rack 16 has two support columns fixed to both sides of the side surface of the housing 13 and a horizontal member erected on the two support columns, and is a support body of a door type supporting the units. On the first rack 16, the first and second discharge units 50 and 60 are provided so as to be movable in the left and right directions along the X axis. The first discharge unit 50 is provided on the side surface side adjacent to the mounting device 12, and the second discharge unit 60 is provided on the side surface side opposite thereto. The first and second discharge units 50 and 60 are supported by the same support body, and thus the same expansion and contraction of the support body is possible, and the discharge accuracy can be made more uniform. The second rack 17 is fixed to the central region in the front and back directions of the housing 13. On the second rack 17, the dot gluing unit 100 is provided so as to be movable in the left and right directions along the X axis. The third rack 18 is fixed to the rear side region of the housing 13. On the third rack 18, the first and second curing units 115 and 117 are fixed. The tray 47 is moved in the front and back directions along the Y axis below the first, second, and third racks 16, 17, and 18 by the moving unit 44.

[0034] The control device 40 is configured as a microprocessor centered on the control section 41, and controls the entire three-dimensional printer 11. The control device 40 exchanges information with the storage section 42 and each unit. The storage section 42 is, for example, a large-capacity storage medium such as a flash memory. In the storage section 42, a modeling task 43 is stored, which contains information on the shape and size of a modeling object to be manufactured, information on a wiring pattern formed on the modeling object, and the like. The three-dimensional printer 11 performs a modeling operation based on the information stored in the storage section 42.

[0035] The moving unit 44 moves the tray 47, which is an object of the discharged fluid. The moving unit 44 has a moving section 45, a lifting section 46, and the tray 47. The moving section 45 is a driving section that moves the tray 47 in the front and back directions, and can be, for example, a linear motor. Alternatively, the moving section 45 can be a ball screw mechanism having a motor, a screw shaft, a nut, and a housing. The lifting section 46 is provided to the moving section 45, supports the tray 47, and moves the tray 47 in the up and down directions. The lifting section 46 brings the tray 47 close to or separates the tray 47 from each unit by lifting the tray 47. The tray 47 is a plate-shaped member having a region in which a modeling object is modeled. A peelable film is attached to the upper surface of the tray 47, and the next modeling object can be manufactured by replacing the film.

[0036] The operation panel 48 is a unit that accepts input from an operator and presents information to the operator. As shown in FIG. 1, the operation panel 48 is provided on the front surface of the housing 13. The operation panel 48 has a display section 49 and a plurality of buttons 51. The display section 49 is a liquid crystal display, for example, and displays information such as the state of the three-dimensional printer 11, the state of the modeling operation, and the like. The plurality of buttons 51 are buttons for starting and stopping the modeling operation, and the like. Figure 1 , 11As shown, the operation panel 48 is disposed on the front surface of the housing 13, and includes a display section serving as a monitor and an operation section with touch panel and buttons. Additionally, as... Figure 11 B Figure 11 As shown in Figure C, the operation panel 48 is supported by a front panel of the housing 13 equipped with an upper maintenance door 131 and a support portion that allows the display surface to rotate toward the side of the housing 13. In the 3D printer 11, the operator sometimes performs maintenance work not only on the front side but also on the side side. Since the operation panel 48 can rotate to both the front and side sides, the operator can check the display or input operations from either position, making maintenance work easier.

[0037] The first ejection unit 50 is the unit that ejects the fluid that will become the structure onto the tray 47. For example... Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the first ejection unit 50 is disposed on the front side region of the housing 13 and on the side adjacent to the mounting device 12, i.e., the left side. Figure 4 , 14 As shown, the first ejection unit 50 includes a first head moving part 51, a first ejection head 52, and a first fluid processing part 54. The first head moving part 51 includes a slider that moves along the X-axis direction guided by a guide rail disposed on the first frame 16, and a motor that drives the slider. The first ejection head 52 is mounted on the slider, and the first ejection head 52 moves along the X-axis direction as the slider moves. Figure 5 As shown, the first head moving part 51 moves the first nozzle 52 between the upper part of the tray 47 located in the central region along the X-axis of the housing 13, i.e., the working position, and the standby position located on the side of the mounting device 12.

[0038] The first nozzle 52 sprays fluid onto the tray 47 to shape the object. For example... Figure 4As shown, the first discharge head 52 has a first nozzle 53, a discharge drive section 53a, and a head tank 59. The first nozzle 53 is an opening hole that discharges fluid supplied from the first fluid processing section 54 toward the tray 47. The first nozzle 53 is formed in a nozzle plate arranged at a predetermined interval on the lower surface side of the first discharge head 52. The discharge drive section 53a, for example, discharges fluid toward the tray 47 side, and can be exemplified by a piezoelectric element or the like. The discharge drive section 53a is arranged for each first nozzle 53 and is driven based on a signal from the control device 40. The head tank 59 is a tank arranged for the first discharge head 52 that accommodates fluid delivered from the first fluid processing section 54. The fluid discharged from the first nozzle 53 can be exemplified by, for example, a liquid curing resin (for example, an ultraviolet curing resin, a thermally curing resin, a two-liquid mixed type curing resin, or the like), a thermoplastic resin, a slurry in which an inorganic substance or the like solid is mixed in a solvent, or the like. The first discharge head 52 does not have a wall portion on the top surface, and is configured so that air supply in the vertical direction can pass therethrough.

[0039] The first fluid processing section 54 is arranged in the front side region of the housing 13, supplies fluid to the first discharge head 52, and recovers waste fluid. The first fluid processing section 54 has a first liquid feeding section 55 that performs liquid feeding in the first discharge head 52, a first supply tank 56 that supplies fluid, a first recovery tank 57 that accommodates recovered fluid, and a pipe 58 that is arranged between each structure. The first liquid feeding section 55 is connected to a pressure supply section not shown, and moves fluid between the first supply tank 56 and the head tank 59 or between the head tank 59 and the first nozzle 53 by supplying positive pressure or negative pressure to the head tank 59. For example, when the first liquid feeding section 55 imparts positive pressure to the head tank 59 in a state in which the first nozzle 53 is sealed by a liquid valve 53b, fluid located in the pipe 58 connected to the upper portion of the head tank 59 is delivered to the first supply tank 56 side. In addition, when the first liquid feeding section 55 imparts negative pressure to the head tank 59 in a state in which the first nozzle 53 is sealed by the liquid valve 53b, fluid is delivered from the first supply tank 56 to the head tank 59 side via the pipe 58 connected to the upper portion of the head tank 59. The first supply tank 56 is a container that accommodates fluid. In the first fluid processing section 54, a plurality of first supply tanks 56 are arranged, and they are used in a switched manner. When the first supply tank 56 is empty, the operator replaces the empty first supply tank 56 while continuing molding using another first supply tank 56, for example. A longer period of time can be used for molding by the first discharge unit 50. The first recovery tank 57 is a container that recovers used fluid. The first supply tank 56 and the first recovery tank 57 are arranged in a detachable manner in the front side region and the lower portion side of the housing 13. The pipe 58 is a pipe that connects the first discharge head 52 and the first supply tank 56 and a pipe that connects the first discharge receiving section 73 and the first recovery tank 57, and fluid flows in the interior thereof.

[0040] The second ejection unit 60 is a unit that ejects a fluid that becomes a wiring formed on the inside or the surface of a molded article onto the tray 47 or the molded article. As shown in Figure 2 、 3 illustrated, the second ejection unit 60 is disposed on the front side region of the housing 13 and on the side opposite to the side adjacent to the mounting device 12, that is, the right side. As shown in Figure 14 illustrated, the second ejection unit 60 includes a second head moving section 61, a second ejection head 62, and a second fluid processing section 64. The second head moving section 61 includes a slide member that is guided by the guide of the first frame 16 and moves in the X-axis direction, and a motor that drives the slide member. The second ejection head 62 is mounted on the slide member and moves in the X-axis direction in conjunction with the movement of the slide member. As shown in Figure 5 illustrated, the second head moving section 61 moves the second ejection head 62 between a printing position on the upper portion of the tray 47 located in the central region of the housing 13 in the X-axis direction and a standby position on the side opposite to the side adjacent to the mounting device 12.

[0041] The second ejection head 62 ejects a fluid onto a molded article on the tray 47 to form a wiring. The second ejection head 62 has the same configuration as the first ejection head 52, as shown in Figure 4 illustrated, and includes a second nozzle 63, an ejection driving section, and a head tank. In the second ejection head 62, components having the same configuration and functions as those of the first ejection head 52, such as the second nozzle 63, the second fluid processing section 64, the second liquid feeding section 65, the second supply tank 66, the second recovery tank 67, and the pipe 68, are the same as the first nozzle 53, the first fluid processing section 54, the first liquid feeding section 55, the first supply tank 56, the first recovery tank 57, and the pipe 58, respectively, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted. The fluid ejected from the second nozzle 63 can be, for example, a mixed liquid in which a solid is mixed in a solvent, a solution in which a resin is dissolved in a solvent, or the like. In addition, as the fluid for forming a wiring pattern, for example, a mixed liquid in which metal powder as a conductive material is dispersed in an organic solvent, a metal ink conductive fluid, or the like can be used. In addition, in the second fluid processing section 64, since the frequency of use is lower than that of the first supply tank 56, only one second supply tank 66 can be provided. In addition, as one of the second supply tanks 66, a second supply tank 66 in which a cleaning liquid such as a solvent is stored can be used. A cleaning of the second ejection head 62 can be performed by supplying the cleaning liquid from the second supply tank 66 to the head tank of the second ejection head 62. The second ejection head 62 does not have a wall portion on the top surface and is configured to allow air supply in the up-down direction.

[0042] The first maintenance unit 70 is a unit that performs protection of the first ejection head 52 and ejection maintenance based on the ejection state of the first ejection head 52. As shown in Figure 2 、 3As shown, the first maintenance unit 70 is disposed in the front side region of the housing 13 and on the left side of the side surface adjacent to the mounting device 12. As shown in FIG. 1, the first maintenance unit 70 is disposed in the front side region of the housing 13 and on the left side of the side surface adjacent to the mounting device 12. Figure 2 , 14 As shown, the first maintenance unit 70 includes a first maintenance moving portion 71, a first sealing portion 72, a first ejection receiving portion 73, and a first cleaning portion 74. The first sealing portion 72, the first ejection receiving portion 73, and the first cleaning portion 74 of the first maintenance unit 70 are arranged along the Y-axis direction. The first maintenance moving portion 71 moves the entire first maintenance unit 70 in the direction along the Y-axis, that is, the front-rear direction. The first maintenance moving portion 71 moves the first maintenance unit 70 between a maintenance position below the first ejection unit 50 and a standby position deviated from below the first ejection unit 50. The first sealing portion 72 is a cover portion that seals the first nozzles 53 of the first ejection head 52. The first sealing portion 72 that seals the first ejection head 52 can also be a dry cap mechanism that does not seal the space in a wet state. The first ejection receiving portion 73 is, for example, a member that receives fluid ejected from the first ejection head 52 for a flushing process or the like. Fluid ejected to the first ejection receiving portion 73 is recovered to the first recovery tank 57 via the pipe 58. The first cleaning portion 74 wipes and cleans the nozzle plate on which the first nozzles 53 are formed. The first cleaning portion 74 includes a cleaning member 75 and a feeding portion 76. The cleaning member 75 can also be a wiping paper or the like. The cleaning member 75 is a long member that is pulled out from a pre-cleaning roller and wound around a post-cleaning roller via a cleaning head. The cleaning head is brought into contact with and separated from the first nozzles 53 by being raised and lowered. The feeding portion 76 feeds the cleaning member 75 from the pre-cleaning roller by driving the post-cleaning roller to rotate. As shown in FIG. 1, the post-cleaning roller around which the post-cleaning cleaning member 75 is wound is disposed in the lower portion of the front side region of the housing 13 and on the left side of the side surface adjacent to the mounting device 12. The control device 40 regularly or appropriately performs cleaning processing using the first cleaning portion 74 according to the degree of contamination of the first ejection head 52.

As shown in FIG. 1, the second maintenance unit 80 is disposed in the front side region of the housing 13 and on the right side of the side surface opposite to the side surface adjacent to the mounting device 12. Figure 2 , 3 As shown in FIG. 1, the post-cleaning roller around which the post-cleaning cleaning member 75 is wound is disposed in the lower portion of the front side region of the housing 13 and on the left side of the side surface adjacent to the mounting device 12. The control device 40 regularly or appropriately performs cleaning processing using the first cleaning portion 74 according to the degree of contamination of the first ejection head 52. Figure 2 , 14As shown, the second maintenance unit 80 includes a second maintenance moving unit 81, a second sealing unit 82, a second ejection receiving unit 86, and a second cleaning unit 87. The second sealing unit 82, the second ejection receiving unit 86, and the second cleaning unit 87 of the second maintenance unit 80 are arranged along the Y-axis direction. In the second maintenance unit 80, components having the same configuration and functions as those of the first maintenance unit 70, such as the second maintenance moving unit 81, the second ejection receiving unit 86, the second cleaning unit 87, the cleaning member 88, the delivery unit 89, and the like, are the same as the first maintenance moving unit 71, the first ejection receiving unit 73, the first cleaning unit 74, the cleaning member 75, the delivery unit 76, respectively, and the description thereof is omitted. In the second cleaning unit 87, a roller on which the cleaned cleaning member 75 is wound is disposed at a lower portion of the front side region of the housing 13 and at the right side opposite to the side adjacent to the mounting device 12. The second sealing unit 82 is a cover unit that seals the second nozzles 63 of the second ejection head 62, which are more likely to be clogged by drying than the first nozzles 53. The second sealing unit 82 that seals the second ejection head 62 includes a dry sealing unit 83 that is a dry cap mechanism in which the sealing space is not in a wet state and a wet sealing unit 84 that is a wet cap mechanism in which the sealing space is in a wet state. The dry sealing unit 83 is used, for example, when the second ejection head 62 is sealed for a short period of time, such as several minutes. The wet sealing unit 84 is used, for example, when the second ejection head 62 is sealed for a long period of time, such as several hours or several days. The wet sealing unit 84 detachably mounts a sealing member 85 that absorbs liquid and maintains a wet state. The sealing member 85 is periodically replaced. The control device 40 performs cleaning processing using the second cleaning unit 87 periodically or appropriately according to the degree of contamination of the second ejection head 62.

[0044] The inspection unit 90 is a unit that inspects the ejection state of the first ejection unit 50 and / or the second ejection unit 60. The inspection unit 90 is fixed to the front of the moving unit 44 on which the tray 47 is disposed, and in detail, is fixed to a portion of the moving unit 44 that supports the tray 47. The inspection unit 90 is movable along the Y-axis direction together with the tray 47. When the portion of the moving unit 44 that supports the tray 47 moves forward, the inspection unit 90 can be disposed in the front side region of the housing 13. As shown in FIG. 1, the inspection unit 90 includes a first inspection unit 91 and a second inspection unit 92. The first inspection unit 91 is a unit that inspects the ejection state of the first ejection unit 50. The second inspection unit 92 is a unit that inspects the ejection state of the second ejection unit 60. Figure 2 、 14As shown, the inspection unit 90 includes an inspection film 91, a delivery unit 92, and a marking substrate 93. The inspection unit 90 can efficiently perform multiple-exposure inspections by allowing fluid to fall onto the surface of the inspection film 91 fixed to the marking substrate 93 and then delivering the inspection film 91, thus eliminating the need for cleaning the marking substrate 93. The inspection film 91 is preferably a transparent resin film, and its material and thickness can be appropriately determined to facilitate extrusion inspection. The inspection film 91 is a long strip-shaped component that is pulled from the pre-inspection roller and wound around the post-inspection roller via the upper part of the marking substrate 93. The delivery unit 92 delivers the inspection film 91 from the pre-inspection roller by driving the post-inspection roller to rotate. Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown in Figure A, a roller wound with an inspection film 91 is disposed in the front side region of the housing 13, and at its center in the vertical direction. The marking substrate 93 is the area for inspecting the ejection from the first nozzle 52 and the second nozzle 62, and a reference mark 62 is formed according to the nozzle spacing of the first nozzle 52 and the second nozzle 62. The marking substrate 93 is a plate-shaped body with the reference mark formed on it. This marking substrate 93 can be formed from, for example, a transparent component, such as a glass plate or a resin plate. The reference mark is a mark that serves as a reference for the position and amount of fluid ejected from the first nozzle 53 of the first nozzle 52 and the second nozzle 63 of the second nozzle 62. The shape of the reference mark can be any of a circle, rectangle, polygon, star, etc., but from the viewpoint of knowing the center position and calculating the area, a circle is more preferred. The control device 40 determines whether the ejection state of the fluid in the nozzle is normal based on the positional relationship between the fluid ejection position and the reference mark, and its size, etc. Alternatively, the control device 40 can also use the inspection unit 90 to determine whether the coating state of the liquid in the coating section 102 of the dispensing unit 100 is normal.

[0045] The planarization unit 94 is a unit that plans the fluid sprayed onto the tray 47 and / or the molded object. For example... Figure 1As shown, the flattening unit 94 is disposed at the center in the X-axis direction at the rear of the first frame 16. The flattening unit 94 has a flattening member 95 and a member cleaning section 96. The flattening member 95 is a member that performs flattening by abutting against the molded article. The flattening member 95 can be a flattening roller that rotates by relative movement with respect to the molded article, or can be a flat plate-shaped flattening squeegee. The flattening unit 94 performs flattening by the flattening member 95 abutting against the molded article on the tray 47 as the tray 47 moves along the Y-axis. At this time, the moving unit 44 adjusts the height of the tray 47 according to the height of the molded article. Alternatively, the flattening unit 94 can move the flattening member 95 to perform flattening. The member cleaning section 96 removes objects adhering to the flattening member 95. For example, in the case where the flattening member 95 is a flattening roller, the member cleaning section 96 can be a cleaning squeegee that abuts against the roller surface. Alternatively, the member cleaning section 96 can be the same member as the cleaning members 75, 86.

[0046] The dispensing unit 100 is a unit that supplies a liquid material to the molded article on the tray 47. As shown, Figure 2 、 3 The dispensing unit 100 is disposed at the central side region in the Y-axis direction of the housing 13. The dispensing unit 100 is disposed on a conveyance route for the tray 47 with respect to the mounting device 12 for which the tray 47 is carried in and carried out, and is configured to be able to perform, in addition to the coating process by the dispenser, a coating amount detection process, a tray 47 carrying-in and carrying-out process, a photographing process, a height measurement process, and the like. As shown, Figure 6 、 14 The dispensing unit 100 has a coating moving section 101, a coating section 102, a coating amount detection section 109, a height measurement section 112, a photographing section 113, and a mounting transfer section 114.

A coating head 103 is mounted on the slide member, and the coating head 103 moves along the X-axis direction in conjunction with the movement of the slide member. As shown, Figure 1 The coating moving section 101 moves the coating head 103 between a work position at the upper portion of the tray 47 located at the central region in the X-axis direction of the housing 13, that is, a work position in the vicinity of the movement opening 128, and a standby position at the side surface side opposite to the mounting device 12 side.

[0047] The coating unit 102 is a unit in the dispensing unit 100 that performs the processing of coating liquid substances. The coating unit 102 includes: a coating head 103, a first coating unit 104, a second coating unit 107, and a third coating unit 108. Each coating unit includes: a syringe 105, a pressure application unit 106, and a vertical movement unit. The coating head 103 is a structure that holds each coating unit and moves it in the X-axis direction. The coating head 103 does not have a top wall portion, and is configured to allow airflow in the vertical direction to pass through. Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown in Figure D, the syringe 105 is a cylindrical component containing a liquid, which is ejected from its lower front end by pressure applied from above. Examples of liquids include resins with varying viscosity and conductivity, such as resins containing conductive materials and resins with insulating properties. A pressure supply unit 106 (not shown) supplies positive or negative pressure to the syringe 105. The syringe 105 is pressed by the pressure supply unit 106 and ejects the liquid. The vertical movement unit is a direct-acting drive unit that moves the syringe 105 vertically. The syringe 105 moves downward via the vertical movement unit, ejecting the liquid closer to the target object. The second coating unit 107 and the third coating unit 108 are the same as the first coating unit 104, except for the type of liquid; detailed descriptions of these are omitted.

[0048] The coating amount detection unit 109 detects the amount of liquid ejected from the coating unit 102. The coating amount detection unit 109 is disposed on the side opposite to the side adjacent to the mounting device 12 in the central region of the housing 13, and detects the amount of liquid coated. The coating amount detection unit 109 is disposed on the bottom surface of the molding module 15 below the standby position of the coating head 103. The coating amount detection unit 109 includes a receiving component 110 and a measuring unit 111. Figure 7 As shown in Figure D, the receiving component 110 is a detachable disc-shaped component that contains the fluid. The measuring unit 111 is a device for measuring the weight, including the liquid contained in the receiving component 110. In the coating amount detection unit 109, an arbitrary pressure is applied to the syringe 105, and the amount of liquid ejected from the syringe 105 per unit time is measured. Using this measurement value, the control device 40 controls the amount of liquid ejected to an appropriate value.

[0049] The height measuring section 112 is a sensor configured to move the contact terminal at the tip downward and to calculate the height of the object in contact based on the position of contact with the object. The height measuring section 112 is used when measuring the height of the tray 47, the modeling object on the tray 47, the height of the mark substrate 93, and the like. The photographing section 113 is a camera configured to photograph the lower side. The photographing section 113 photographs, for example, the edge portion of the tray 47, the modeling object on the tray 47, the mark substrate 93 of the inspection unit 90, and the like. The mounting and transfer section 114 is used when performing the process of carrying out the tray 47 from the transfer opening 128 and carrying in the tray 47 from the transfer opening 128. The mounting and transfer section 114 has a rod structure capable of extending downward, and moves the tray 47 by bringing the tip portion into contact with the edge portion of the tray 47 and pushing out or hooking and pulling in. In addition, the mounting and transfer section 114 can be replaced by the height measuring section 112.

[0050] The first curing unit 115 is a unit configured to perform a predetermined process on the object obtained by ejecting the fluid on the modeling object on or in the tray 47 from the first ejection head 52 and to cure the object. The first curing unit 115 is disposed in the rear side region of the housing 13. The first curing unit 115 can also irradiate light of a predetermined wavelength to the fluid ejected with respect to the object to cure the fluid. In the case where the first ejection head 52 ejects the fluid that is cured by drying and baking, the first curing unit 115 can also be configured as a unit that performs drying and baking. The first curing unit 115 moves the tray 47 downward and cures the fluid each time one layer of the fluid is formed on the tray 47 by the first ejection head 52.

[0051] The second curing unit 117 is a unit configured to perform a predetermined process on the object obtained by ejecting the fluid on the modeling object on or in the tray 47 from the second ejection head 62 and to cure the object. The second curing unit 117 is disposed in the rear side region of the housing 13. The second curing unit 117 can also irradiate light of a predetermined wavelength to the fluid ejected with respect to the object to cure the fluid. In addition, in the case where the second ejection head 62 ejects the fluid that is cured by drying and baking, the second curing unit 117 can also be configured as a unit that performs drying and baking. The second curing unit 117 can also be configured as a unit that irradiates infrared rays. The second curing unit 117 has, for example, an infrared ray irradiation section 118. The second curing unit 117 moves the tray 47 downward and cures the fluid each time one layer of the fluid is formed on the tray 47 by the second ejection head 62.

[0052] The heating unit 120 is used to heat the molded object on the tray 47, or the liquid supplied to the tray 47 or the molded object. This heating unit 120 is located on the rear side of the housing, opposite to the side adjacent to the mounting device 12 (in this case, the right side). The heating unit 120 is located on the side of the moving unit 44 that is offset from the moving channel, and the tray 47 is moved downwards towards the heating unit 120 via the heating transfer part 124. The heating transfer part 124 can also be the same mechanism as the mounting transfer part 114. The heating unit 120 can also heat the molded object while it is being pressed. Figure 7 E, Figure 14 As shown, the heating unit 120 includes a heating section 121, a pressurizing section 122, and a pressing heating component 123. The heating section 121 is a heater that heats the pressing heating component 123. The pressurizing section 122 moves the tray 47 towards the pressing heating component 123 to press the molded object. The pressing heating component 123 is a component that contacts the molded object to heat and press it. The pressing heating component 123 includes a metal support plate and a rubber plate adhered to the support plate and in contact with the molded object. A membrane to suppress deformation and displacement during pressing may also be provided between the rubber plate and the molded object in the pressing heating component 123. The pressing heating component 123 may sometimes deform due to heat, therefore it is replaced by the operator each time a molded object is manufactured.

[0053] The opening / closing unit 125 is a unit for closing and opening the movable opening 128. The opening / closing unit 125 is disposed on one side adjacent to the mounting device 12. Here, the opening / closing unit 125 is disposed in the central region of the Y-axis of the housing 13 and on the left side. The opening / closing unit 125 is fixed to the conveyor unit that moves the tray 47 toward the mounting device 12. Therefore, a third sliding door 134 (see reference 128) is formed, covering the side of the housing 13, with the movable opening 128. Figure 8 It can slide and disassemble door 134B (refer to...) Figure 9 (or can be disassembled.) Figure 11 D, Figure 11 E, Figure 14 As shown, the opening / closing unit 125 includes a baffle portion 126 and an opening / closing drive portion 127. The baffle portion 126 is a component that blocks light of a predetermined wavelength irradiated from the first curing unit 115 or the second curing unit 117 when closed. When the baffle portion 126 is closed, air leakage from the movable opening portion 128 is also suppressed, thus reducing heat dissipation to the outside of the housing 13. The opening / closing drive portion 127 is a direct drive portion that moves the baffle portion 126 between a closed position and an open position of the movable opening portion 128. The opening / closing drive portion 127 may also be a cylinder.

[0054] The opening and closing door 130 refers to the door assembly that is opened and closed during maintenance of the aforementioned units. The opening and closing door 130 may be located, for example, on at least the front side and the side opposite to the side adjacent to the mounting device 12 of the modeling module 15 within the housing 13. The opening and closing door 130 may include, for example, an upper maintenance door 131, a first sliding door 132, a second sliding door 133, a third sliding door 134, a cleaning section maintenance door 135, a tank maintenance door 136, and a heating section maintenance door 137. The upper maintenance door 131 is a large cover component located in the front side region and upper part of the housing 13. For example... Figure 7 As shown in Figure A, the upper maintenance door 131 rotates upwards about the support axis along the X-axis, opening the upper front part of the molding module 15. This upper maintenance door 131 functions as a spray section maintenance door for maintenance of the first spray unit 50 and the second spray unit 60, a maintenance section maintenance door for maintenance of the first maintenance unit 70 and the second maintenance unit 80, and an inspection section maintenance door for maintenance of the inspection unit 90 and the removal and installation of the inspection membrane 91. Additionally, the upper maintenance door 131 also functions as a moving section maintenance door for maintenance of the moving unit 44. When the upper maintenance door 131 is rotated to the open position, the operator can perform maintenance work on each unit, including the moving unit 44, the first spray unit 50, the second spray unit 60, the first maintenance unit 70, and the second maintenance unit 80, and perform replacement work on consumables such as the cleaning component 75 and the inspection membrane 91.

[0055] The first sliding door 132 and the second sliding door 133 are disposed at the upper front of the side of the housing 13 that is not adjacent to the mounting device 12. The first sliding door 132 and the second sliding door 133 are sliding doors capable of being opened on either side. The first sliding door 132 is disposed at the front of the side of the shaping module 15. Figure 7 As shown in Figure B, the first sliding door 132 slides backward to open the front right side of the shaping module 15. This first sliding door 132 functions as a maintenance door for the ejector section during maintenance of the second ejector unit 60, a maintenance door for the second maintenance unit 80, and a maintenance door for the sealing component 85. When the first sliding door 132 is open, the operator can perform maintenance work on each unit, including the second ejector unit 60 and the second maintenance unit 80, and replace consumables such as the cleaning component 75 and the sealing component 85. The second sliding door 133 is located at the center of the side of the shaping module 15 in the front-rear direction. Figure 7As shown in D, the second sliding door 133 slides to the front to open the right side center of the molding module 15. This second sliding door 133 is a coating section maintenance door that is opened and closed when maintenance of the dispensing unit 100 or maintenance of the syringe 105 and the coating amount detection section 109 is performed. In addition, the second sliding door 133 can also function as a planarization section maintenance door that is opened and closed when maintenance of the planarization unit 94 is performed. When the second sliding door 133 is opened, the operator can perform maintenance work of the dispensing unit 100 and the planarization unit 94, and perform replacement work of the syringe 105 and the receiving member 110 and the like.

[0056] As shown in Figure 7 As shown in G, the cleaning section maintenance door 135 is provided to the left and right of the center of the front surface of the housing 13 in the up-down direction. The cleaning section maintenance door 135 is an opening and closing door that is opened and closed when the cleaning member 75 after cleaning is disassembled. The cleaning section maintenance door 135 is turned by a hinge fixed to the side surface side with the open end of the door turned to the side surface side to open the right side of the front surface middle and the left side of the front surface middle of the molding module 15. In addition, the cleaning section maintenance door 135 can have the turning direction set to an arbitrary direction. When the cleaning section maintenance door 135 is opened, the operator can perform replacement work of the consumable such as the cleaning member 75 after cleaning. As shown in Figure 7 As shown in F, the tank maintenance door 136 is provided to the lower portion of the front surface of the housing 13. The tank maintenance door 136 is an opening and closing door that is opened and closed when the disassembly of the first supply tank 56, the first recovery tank 57, the second supply tank 66, the second recovery tank 67, and the like is performed. The tank maintenance door 136 is turned by a hinge fixed to the lower portion side with the open end of the door turned to the lower side to open the lower portion of the front surface of the molding module 15. In addition, the tank maintenance door 136 can have the turning direction set to an arbitrary direction. When the tank maintenance door 136 is opened, the operator can perform replacement work of one or more of the above-mentioned housing members. The heating section maintenance door 137 is provided to the rear side region of the side surface side of the housing 13 that is not adjacent to the mounting device 12. As shown in Figure 7 As shown in E, the heating section maintenance door 137 is turned by a hinge fixed to the center side with the open end of the door turned to the front to open the right rear of the molding module 15. In addition, the heating section maintenance door 137 can have the turning direction set to an arbitrary direction, or can have the open end of the door turned to the rear by a hinge fixed to the rear side of the molding module 15 to open the right rear of the molding module 15. The heating section maintenance door 137 is an opening and closing door that is opened and closed when the disassembly of the heating unit 120 or the pressing heating member 123 is performed. When the heating section maintenance door 137 is opened, the operator can perform maintenance work of the heating unit 120, and perform replacement work of the pressing heating member 123 and the like.

[0057] As shown in Figure 8As shown, the molding module 15 of the housing 13 is provided with a third sliding door 134 that can slide to open at least a portion of the side surface of the housing 13 equipped with the mounting device 12 to the outside when the mounting module 36 is slid with respect to the mounting base 35. When the opening portion is opened by the third sliding door 134, the maintenance work of the units located at the rear of the molding module 15 and the mounting device 12 side is easily performed by the operator. In addition, in the housing 13, as shown in Figure 8 , a configuration in which the third sliding door 134 can slide to the front with respect to the housing 13 is exemplified, but is not particularly limited thereto, and can be a sliding door that can slide to the rear or upward with respect to the housing 13. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9 , the housing 13 can be provided with a detachable door 134B instead of the third sliding door 134, which can be detached to open at least a portion of the side surface equipped with the mounting device 12 to the outside. In this housing 13, the maintenance work of the units located at the rear of the molding module 15 and the mounting device 12 side is also easily performed by the operator.

[0058] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 8-10 , in the housing 13, one or more access windows 19 that can access the molding base 14 are formed between the molding base 14 and the molding module 15 when the mounting module 36 is slid to the open position. The access windows 19 are formed on the upper surface of the rear region of the molding base 14 and the lower surface of the rear region of the molding module 15. In the housing 13, a case in which the access windows 19 are formed at four positions is exemplified, but the number of windows is not particularly limited, and can be any number of one or more as long as the strength of the housing 13 can be ensured. The operator easily performs maintenance work on the units housed in the rear region of the molding base 14 via the access windows 19.

[0059] As shown in Figure 12 C of Figure 12 E, the molding base 14 is equipped with a plurality of components inside with the tendency that the closer to the side surface that can be accessed from the outside, the lower the height. As the plurality of components, for example, a servo amplifier, a PC, a UPS, a circuit breaker, a safety circuit device, a PCL, a DC power source, a light source power source, a force sensor amplifier, a stepper motor controller, an infrared heater controller, a UV lamp controller, a temperature control controller, and a dispenser controller can be cited. Among them, in the molding base 14, the circuit breaker, which is relatively low in height and requires maintenance work, can be disposed further forward, and the relatively large controller among the various controllers can be disposed further inward. In addition, as shown in Figure 12As shown in C, in the front region and the central region of the molding base 14 in the front-rear direction of the molding base 14, the molding base 14 can be provided so that the closer a part is to the side that can be accessed from the outside, the lower the height. In addition, the "trend of lower height" means that there is a region where the height is constant from the side farther from the side to the side closer to the side, a range where the height is higher, and the side closer to the side is lower as a whole. In the molding base 14, if the cover of the side that is not adjacent to the mounting device 12 is opened, the worker easily performs the maintenance work from the near side to the far side.

[0060] In addition, in the molding base 14, as shown in Figure 12 As shown in D, a plurality of cable racks 160 are provided inside, which are provided so that the farther a cable rack 160 is from the side that can be accessed from the outside, the lower the height. The cable rack 160 has a support portion in the longitudinal direction and a placement portion in the lateral direction, and the cross section has an L shape. The support portion of the cable rack 160 is fixed to the upper portion of the molding base 14, and the placement portion is open to the side. Also, the cable rack 160 fixed to the deeper portion is lower, so the worker easily sets the cable to the cable rack 160 in the deeper portion. In addition, in D of Figure 12 In D, the arrangement of the cable rack 160 is shown in consideration of the access from both sides before the mounting device 12 is installed.

[0061] The air supply unit 140 is a unit that blows external air to the inside of the housing 13 and blows internal air in the inside of the housing 13 to the outside, and performs heat discharge in the device. The air supply unit 140 has a moving portion suction portion 141, a housing air supply portion 142, a first solidification exhaust portion 147, a second solidification exhaust portion 148, a heating portion exhaust portion 149, a base air supply portion 150, a base suction portion 151, and an exhaust port 152. The moving portion suction portion 141 is a fan that supplies external air to the inside of the housing 13 from the center of the front surface of the housing 13 in which the moving unit 44 is provided. In addition, the first exhaust portion 144 and the second exhaust portion 146 of the housing air supply portion 142 are fans that exhaust internal air to the outside of the housing 13 from the center of the back surface of the housing 13. The moving portion suction portion 141, the first exhaust portion 144, and the second exhaust portion 146 constitute a moving portion air supply portion that cools the moving unit 44. When the moving portion 45 of the moving unit 44 is a linear motor that generates relatively large heat, the moving portion air supply portion can sufficiently manage the heat of the moving portion 45.

[0062] As shown in Figure 1 , 13As shown, the housing air supply unit 142 supplies external air from above the first ejection unit 50 and the second ejection unit 60 into the housing 13, and discharges internal air from the rear of the housing 13. The housing air supply unit 142 includes: a first intake unit 143, a first exhaust unit 144, a second intake unit 145, and a second exhaust unit 146. The first intake unit 143 and the first exhaust unit 144 are units for heat dissipation on the side of the first ejection unit 50. The second intake unit 145 and the second exhaust unit 146 are units for heat dissipation on the side of the second ejection unit 60. Figure 5 As shown, the first intake section 143 is disposed on the upper left side of the first frame 16 and the second frame 17, and is a fan that supplies external gas into the interior of the molding module 15. The first exhaust section 144 is disposed on the left-center side of the back of the housing 13 in the vertical direction, and is a fan that supplies internal gas from the molding module 15 to the outside. The second intake section 145 is disposed on the upper right side of the first frame 16 and the second frame 17, and is a fan that supplies external gas into the interior of the molding module 15. The second exhaust section 146 is disposed on the right-center side of the back of the housing 13 in the vertical direction, and is a fan that supplies internal gas from the molding module 15 to the outside. Figure 5 As shown, the housing air supply section 142 is positioned to supply external gas to the area between the standby position and the working position of the first nozzle 52 and the second nozzle 62, respectively. The first nozzle 52, the second nozzle 62, and the coating head 103 are not obstructed by horizontal walls, so the air supply from above passes directly downwards. Furthermore, air supply is maintained in the housing air supply section 142 regardless of whether the first nozzle 52 and the second nozzle 62 are in the standby position, the working position, or when moving between them. And, as... Figure 13 As shown, the housing air supply unit 142 draws in outside air from the front and top of the housing 13, passes through each unit, and is discharged along with the heat from the rear of the housing 13, where the units with larger heat generation are located. In this air supply unit 140, heat dissipation inside the housing 13 can be performed more appropriately, thus enabling more appropriate thermal management of the 3D printer 11.

[0063] The first curing exhaust section 147 is configured as a first air supply section that discharges internal gas from the upper part of the first curing unit 115 to the rear side of the housing 13. The second curing exhaust section 148 is configured as a second air supply section that discharges internal gas from the upper part of the second curing unit 117 to the rear side of the housing 13. The heating exhaust section 149 is configured as a heating exhaust section that discharges internal gas from the upper part of the heating unit 120 to the right side of the rear side of the housing 13. The first curing exhaust section 147, the second curing exhaust section 148, and the heating exhaust section 149 enable more appropriate thermal management of each individual unit with a larger heat generation.

[0064] The base air supply part 150 is an air supply device provided in the modeling base 14, and has a base air suction part 151 and an air outlet 152. The base air suction part 151 is provided on the lower part of the back surface of the housing 13, and is a fan that supplies external air to the inside of the modeling base 14. The air outlet 152 is provided on the lower surface of the front side area of the housing 13, and is an opening part through which air supplied by the base air suction part 151 is discharged. In the base air supply part 150, by supplying air from the back surface of the housing 13 to the lower surface of the front surface, heat management of the units provided in the inside of the modeling base 14 can be more appropriately performed. In the air supply unit 140, the modeling module 15 that supplies air from the upper surface of the front surface of the housing 13 to the back surface, and the modeling base 14 that supplies air from the back surface of the housing 13 to the lower surface of the front surface are provided, and by using different air supply directions, heat countermeasures of the three-dimensional printer 11 can be more appropriately performed.

[0065] Next, the three-dimensional modeling process of the three-dimensional printer 11 configured as described above will be described. Figure 15 is a flowchart showing an example of a modeling object production process routine executed by the control part 41 of the control device 40. The routine is stored in the storage part 42, and is executed by the control device 40 after the operator inputs an execution instruction of the production process. When the routine is started, the control part 41 of the control device 40 first reads and acquires the modeling task 43 from the storage part 42 (S100), and determines whether it is a check timing of the first and second ejection units 50 and 60 (S110). The check timing can be, for example, when a new production is started, when a predetermined number of modeling objects, such as five or ten, are produced, when a predetermined time, such as 30 minutes or one hour, elapses, or the like. When it is currently the check timing, the control part 41 performs a check process of the first and / or second ejection heads 52 and 62 (S120). In this process, the control part 41 performs the check process using the check unit 90. Specifically, the control part 41 moves the mark substrate 93 below the first or second ejection head 52 or 62, and ejects fluid onto the mark substrate 93, captures the mark substrate 93 using the capturing part 113, and determines the ejection state of the fluid.

[0066] After S120 or when it is not the timing for inspection in S110, the control section 41 determines whether it is the timing for maintenance (S130). The timing for maintenance can be, for example, when there is a defective nozzle in the inspection process, when a predetermined number of 5 or 10 of the molded articles have been produced, when a predetermined time of 30 minutes or 1 hour has elapsed, or the like. When it is the timing for maintenance at present, the control section 41 performs a maintenance process of the first discharge head 52 and / or the second discharge head 62 (S140). In this process, the control section 41 performs a maintenance process of the first discharge unit 50 or the second discharge unit 60 using the first maintenance unit 70 or the second maintenance unit 80. Specifically, the control section 41 moves the first discharge head 52 to the lower side of the first discharge receiving section 73 or moves the second discharge head 62 to the lower side of the second discharge receiving section 86, and performs a flushing process of forcibly discharging the fluid. Alternatively, the control section 41 moves the first cleaning section 74 to the lower side of the first discharge head 52 and performs a cleaning process of the nozzle plate using the cleaning member 75. Alternatively, the control section 41 moves the second cleaning section 87 to the lower side of the second discharge head 62 and performs a cleaning process of the nozzle plate using the cleaning member 88.

[0067] After S140 or when it is not the timing for maintenance in S130, the control section 41 determines whether it is the timing for execution of the first printing by the first discharge unit 50 based on the molding task 43 (S150). When it is the timing for execution of the first printing, the control section 41 performs a first printing process (S160). In the first printing process, the control section 41 causes the fluid to be discharged from the first discharge unit 50 to the tray 47, performs a flattening process by the flattening unit 94, and causes the discharged fluid to be cured by the first curing unit 115. After S160 or when it is not the timing for execution of the first printing in S150, the control section 41 determines whether it is the timing for execution of the second printing based on the molding task 43 (S170). When it is the timing for execution of the second printing, the control section 41 performs a second printing process (S180). In the second printing process, the control section 41 causes the fluid to be discharged from the second discharge unit 60 to the tray 47 and / or the molded article, and causes the discharged fluid to be cured by the second curing unit 117.

[0068] After S180 or when the execution timing of the second printing is not in S170, the control section 41 determines whether it is the dispensing processing timing based on the molding task 43 (S190). When it is the dispensing processing timing, the control section 41 executes the dispensing processing by the dispensing unit 100 (S200). In this processing, the control section 41 executes, for example, the processing of applying the conductive paste from the application section 102 to the molding article or filling the resin to the groove section or the like of the molding article from the application section 102, and performs the pressurization and heating by the heating unit 120 to solidify the liquid substance. In addition, the control section 41 performs the detection of the application amount of the application section 102 by the application amount detection section 109 before the dispensing processing, and executes the dispensing processing based on the application amount. After S200 or when the dispensing processing timing is not in S190, the control section 41 determines whether it is the mounting processing timing based on the molding task 43 (S210). When it is the mounting processing timing, the control section 41 executes the carry-out and carry-in processing of the tray 47 with respect to the mounting device 12 (S220). In this processing, the control section 41 executes the processing of carrying out the tray 47 toward the mounting device 12 by the mounting transfer section 114 and the processing of carrying in the tray 47 on which the molding article to which the component is arranged from the mounting device 12. The control section 22 of the mounting device 12 executes the processing of arranging the component on the molding article based on the mounting information 24 when the tray 47 is carried in, by the mounting section 30.

[0069] After S220 or when the execution timing of the mounting processing is not in S210, the control section 41 determines whether the production processing is completed (S230). When the production processing is not completed, the control section 41 executes the processing after S110. On the other hand, when the production processing is completed in S230, the routine is ended. In this production processing, the air supply unit 140 performs the air supply to each unit located in the inside of the molding base 14 and each unit located in the inside of the molding module 15, and executes the thermal management. In addition, in such production processing and during the production processing, the operator performs the maintenance work of each unit by opening and closing the door 130.
