The mounting head 19 is detachably mounted on the slider, picks up one or more components, and moves in the XY direction by the head moving unit 18. One or more picking members are detachably mounted on the lower surface of the mounting head 19. The picking member may be a suction nozzle that picks up components using negative pressure, or a mechanical chuck that mechanically holds components, etc. The communication unit is an interface that exchanges information with external devices such as the three-dimensional printer 11 and a management device (not shown).

[0013] The three-dimensional printer 11 is a three-dimensional shaping apparatus that shapes and manufactures an object 60, which is a shaped article having a base material 61, wiring, and the like. The object 60 includes, for example, in addition to the base material 61, those having wiring formed on and / or in the base material 61 and components P arranged on and / or in the base material 61.

[0014] The control device 20 is configured as a microprocessor centered on a control unit 21 such as a CPU, and controls the entire three-dimensional printer 11. The control device 20 exchanges information with the storage unit 22 and each unit. The storage unit 22 is a large-capacity storage medium such as a flash memory, for example. The storage unit 22 stores shaping information 23 including information such as the shape and size of the object 60 to be manufactured, and wiring information 24 including information such as the wiring pattern formed on the base material 61. The three-dimensional printer 11 executes a shaping process based on the information stored in the storage unit 22.

[0015] The moving unit 25 moves the pallet 50 as an object onto which fluid is discharged. This moving unit 25 includes a pallet moving unit 26 that includes a driving unit for moving the pallet 50 along the front-rear direction and a lifting unit for lifting and lowering the pallet 50 along the vertical direction. The pallet 50 is a plate-shaped member having an area for shaping a shaped object. A peelable film is attached to the upper surface of the pallet 50, and by replacing this film, the production of the next shaped object becomes possible.

[0016] The first discharge unit 30 is a unit that discharges the fluid serving as the base material 61 onto the pallet 50. The first discharge unit 30 includes a first head moving unit, a first discharge head 31, and a first fluid processing unit. The first head moving unit includes a slider guided by a guide rail and moving along the X-axis direction, and a motor for driving the slider. The first discharge head 31 is mounted on the slider, and the first discharge head 31 moves along the X-axis direction as the slider moves. The first discharge head 31 is a shaping material discharge head that discharges fluid onto the pallet 50 to shape a shaped object. The first discharge head 31 has a first nozzle and a discharge driving unit. The first nozzle is formed in a nozzle plate. This first nozzle is an opening for discharging the fluid supplied from the first fluid processing unit onto the pallet 50. The discharge driving unit discharges the fluid toward the pallet 50 side, and examples thereof include a piezoelectric element. The fluid discharged by the first discharge head 31 includes, for example, a liquid curable resin (e.g., an ultraviolet curable resin, a thermosetting resin, a two-component mixed curable resin, etc.), a thermoplastic resin, a slurry in which solids such as inorganic substances are mixed in a solvent. The first fluid processing unit includes a first supply tank for storing the fluid and a first recovery tank for storing the recovered fluid, and is a unit for sending the fluid.

[0017] The first maintenance unit 32 is a unit that seals and protects the first discharge head 31 and performs discharge maintenance based on the discharge state of the first discharge head 31. The discharge maintenance includes, for example, execution of a flushing process and execution of a process of wiping and cleaning the nozzle plate.

[0018] The first curing unit 33 is a unit that executes a predetermined process on the object 60 on the pallet 50 or on the object 60 cured on the pallet 50 after discharging fluid from the first discharge head 31, and cures this. The first curing unit 33 may irradiate the fluid discharged onto the object 60 with light of a predetermined wavelength such as ultraviolet light to cure it. Further, the first curing unit 33 may be a unit that performs drying and baking according to the material of the fluid. For example, every time a fluid layer is formed on the pallet 50 by the first discharge head 31, the pallet 50 is moved downward and this fluid is cured by the first curing unit 33.

[0019] The second discharge unit 34 is a unit that discharges the fluid that will become the wiring formed inside or on the surface of the molded object onto the pallet 50 or the object 60. The second discharge unit 34 includes a second head moving part, a second discharge head 35, and a second fluid processing part.

The second discharge head 35 is a wiring material discharge head that discharges fluid onto the object 60 on the pallet 50 to form wiring. The second discharge head 35 has a second nozzle and a discharge drive part, similar to the first discharge head 31. Note that the detailed description of the second discharge head 35 having the same structure and function as the first discharge head 31 is omitted. Examples of the fluid discharged from the second nozzle include a mixture of a solid in a solvent and a solution of a resin in a solvent. Examples of the fluid for forming the wiring pattern include a mixture in which metal powder as a conductive material is dispersed in an organic solvent and a metal ink conductive fluid.

[0020] The second conservative unit 36 is a unit that seals and protects the second discharge head 35 and performs discharge maintenance based on the discharge state of the second discharge head 35. Discharge maintenance includes the above-described flushing process and cleaning process.

[0021] The second curing unit 37 is a unit that executes a predetermined process on an object 60 on the pallet 50 or an object 60 cured on the pallet 50, which has fluid discharged from the second discharge head 35, and cures this. The second curing unit 37 may irradiate the fluid discharged onto the object 60 with light of a predetermined wavelength such as infrared rays to cure it. Further, the second curing unit 37 may be a unit that performs drying and firing according to the material of the fluid. For example, every time a fluid layer is formed on the pallet 50 by the second discharge head 35, the pallet 50 is moved downward, and this fluid is cured by the second curing unit 37.

[0022] The flattening unit 27 is a unit that flattens the surface of the fluid discharged onto the pallet 50 and / or the object 60 with a flattening member. The flattening member includes, for example, a flattening roller that rotates by relative movement with respect to the object 60, a flat plate-shaped flattening blade, and the like. The inspection unit 28 is a unit that inspects the discharge state of the first discharge unit 30 and / or the second discharge unit 34. The inspection unit 28 includes a mark substrate and an imaging unit 29. The inspection unit 28 executes the inspection of the discharge unit by landing the fluid on the surface of the film fixed on the mark substrate and imaging this with the imaging unit 29.

[0023] The dispenser unit 38 is a unit that applies a liquid material to the object 60 on the pallet 50. The dispenser unit 38 includes an application moving part and an application head 39. The application moving part includes a slider that is guided by a guide rail and moves along the X-axis direction, and a motor that drives the slider. The application head 39 is attached to the slider. A syringe for applying a resin as a filler, a conductive resin containing a conductive material, etc. is disposed on the application head 39. Examples of the liquid material include a thermosetting resin, a conductive paste containing metal particles as a conductive material, etc. The conductive paste is heated and pressed by, for example, a pressing device 40, the resin hardens and shrinks, and the conductive material dispersed in the resin comes into contact to exhibit conductivity.

[0024] The operation panel 51 is a unit that receives inputs from an operator and presents information to the operator. This operation panel 51 includes a display unit that is a display, and an operation unit having a touch panel and buttons. The communication unit 52 is an interface that exchanges information with external devices such as the mounting device 12 and a management device (not shown).

[0025] The pressing device 40 is a unit that presses an object 60 on a pallet 50, a liquid substance applied on the pallet 50 or on the object 60, etc. This pressing device 40 may heat and press the object. As shown in FIG. 1, the pressing device 40 includes a pallet moving part 41, a support part 42, a pressing part 43, a heating part 44, and a pressing member 45. The pressing device 40 is disposed on the side surface outside the moving lane of the moving unit 25, and the pallet 50 is moved downward by the pallet moving part 41 below the pressing device 40. As shown in FIG. 3, the support part 42 fixes the pressing member 45 in a detachable state. The support part 42 mounts the pressing member 45 on its lower surface side. The pressing part 43 relatively moves the pallet 50 and the pressing member 45 to press the object 60 on the pallet 50. The pressing part 43 may move the pallet 50 with respect to the fixed pressing member 45, or may move the pressing member 45 with respect to the fixed pallet 50. The heating part 44 heats the object 60. If the heating part 44 heats the object 60, it may heat the pallet 50 side, or may heat the support part 42 side, or may heat both the pallet 50 side and the support part 42 side. The heating part 44 may be a non-contact heating method or a contact heating method. Here, it is assumed that contact heaters are disposed on the pallet 50 side and the support part 42 side for the heating part 44.

[0026] The pressing member 45 is a member that contacts and presses the object 60. When the pressing device 40 includes the heating part 44, the pressing member 45 is a member that contacts the object 60, presses the object 60, and heats it. The pressing member 45 includes a first pressing member 46 and a second pressing member 48. The pressing member 45 may include, for example, a support plate detachably fixed to the support part 42, a first pressing member 46 attached to the support plate, and a second pressing member 48 laminated on the first pressing member 46. Further, a film 49 for suppressing deformation and displacement during pressing may be disposed between the second pressing member 48 and the object 60 on the pressing member 45. Since the pressing member 45 may be heated and deformed, it is replaced by an operator for each production of a shaped article.

[0027] The first pressing member 46 is a member that is fixed to the support portion 42 side and has a buffer portion 47 inside for buffering volume changes. As shown in FIG. 3, the first pressing member 46 may have a buffer portion 47 that is a space between a plurality of rectangular elastic bodies arranged at a predetermined interval. That is, the buffer portion 47 may be a space formed between the elastic bodies. When the buffer portion 47 is a space, it is easy to relieve the volume change due to the deformation of the elastic body that occurs when pressing the object 60, which is preferable. The first pressing member 46 may be made of the same elastic material as the second pressing member 48 or a different elastic material, but being made of the same material is preferable from the viewpoint of uniformizing the pressing characteristics. Examples of the material of the first pressing member 46 include rubber or resin as an elastic body, and specifically, silicon rubber and the like. The second pressing member 48 is a member that is laminated on the first pressing member 46 and contacts the object 60 to press the object 60. It is preferable that the region of the second pressing member 48 that contacts the object 60 is an integral body from the viewpoint of further suppressing the displacement in the surface direction of the component P disposed on the object 60. Examples of the material of the second pressing member 48 include rubber or resin as an elastic body. The thickness, size, hardness, etc. of the first pressing member 46 and the second pressing member 48 may be appropriately set according to the shape and material of the object 60 and the like. The film 49 is a member that further suppresses the displacement between the pressing member 45 and the object 60. The film 49 may be a thin film resin. The material of the film 49 is not particularly limited as long as it causes slippage in the surface direction when the pressing member 45 and the object 60 are pressed, and may be a fluorine-based resin.

[0028] The pressing member 45 is provided with a buffer portion 47 which is a space formed between elastic bodies, but is not particularly limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 5, the elastic body of the first pressing member 46 has a different hardness, and it may have a structure filled with a buffer portion 47B that buffers the volume change due to the deformation of the elastic body. At this time, examples of the buffer portion 47B include those having a lower hardness than the elastic body of the first pressing member 46. In the pressing members 45 and 45B, for example, it is preferable to optimize the design of the area and width of the buffer portion 47 according to the hardness of the member to be used and the amount of spreading due to crushing by the load. The pressing members 45 and 45B may select their materials and characteristics, for example, based on the relationship shown in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 6, as the pressing load on the object 60 becomes larger, the area of the optimal buffer portion 47 becomes larger, and as the hardness of the first pressing member 46 becomes lower, the area of the optimal buffer portion 47 tends to become larger, so that the sizes and materials of the first pressing member 46 and the buffer portion 47 can be determined.

[0029] Next, the three-dimensional shaping process of the three-dimensional printer 11 configured in this way will be described. When an operator inputs an execution command for the production process of the object 60, the control unit 21 of the control device 20 starts the manufacturing process of the object 60. When starting this process, the control unit 21 of the control device 20 first causes the first discharge unit 30 to discharge a fluid serving as a base material onto the pallet 50 based on the shaping information 23. Next, the control unit 21 flattens the upper surface of the fluid by the flattening unit 27 and cures the fluid by the first curing unit 33. Next, when forming a wiring, the control unit 21 causes the second discharge unit 34 to discharge a fluid serving as a wiring onto the base material 61 on the pallet 50 based on the wiring information 24. Next, the control unit 21 cures this fluid by the second curing unit 37. Next, when placing the component P on the base material 61 or the wiring, the control unit 21 moves the pallet 50 to the mounting device 12, and the mounting device 12 executes the placement process of the component P. When the component P is placed on the object 60, the mounting device 12 moves the pallet 50 to the three-dimensional printer 11. Subsequently, when applying a filler or a conductive material, the control unit 21 causes the dispenser unit 38 to apply a liquid material serving as a coating material onto the base material 61 on the pallet 50. Next, the control unit 21 cures this liquid material by pressurizing and heating the object 60 with the pressing device 40. At this time, in the pressing device 40, since the pressurizing unit 43 pressurizes the pressing member 45 and the pallet 50, the crushing of the first pressing member 46, which is an elastic body, in the Z-axis direction may develop into a shear stress in the spreading direction (plane direction) of the XY axis. However, in the pressing member 45, the first pressing member 46 can suppress the development of this shear stress by the buffer portion 47, and following this, the second pressing member 48 can also suppress the development of this shear stress. For this reason, in the pressing member 45, it is possible to further suppress a large displacement of the component P mounted on the object 60 in the plane direction.

[0030] Here, the correspondence between the components of this embodiment and the components of the present disclosure will be clarified. The three-dimensional printer 11 of this embodiment corresponds to an example of the printing apparatus of the present disclosure, the support portion 42 corresponds to an example of the support portion, the first pressing member 46 corresponds to an example of the first pressing member, the buffer portion 47 corresponds to an example of the buffer portion, the second pressing member 48 corresponds to an example of the second pressing member, and the pressing member 45 corresponds to an example of the pressing member.

[0031] The pressing device 40 of the three-dimensional printer 11 of this embodiment described above is a device that presses an object 60 having wirings formed on and / or in a base material 61 and components P arranged on and / or in the base material 61, and includes a support portion 42, a first pressing member 46 fixed to the support portion 42 and having a buffer portion 47 inside for buffering volume changes, and a second pressing member 48 laminated on the first pressing member 46 and contacting the object 60 to press the object 60. Generally, in the three-dimensional printer 11, when mounting the component P, a process of heating and curing while applying a load in the Z-axis direction with a press for stabilizing the conductivity of the liquid material may be used as a standard. The components P to be mounted are diverse, and in order to apply a uniform load because components having different various thicknesses are mixed and mounted, it is required to obtain followability by using a cushion rubber for the pressing member 45. There is a relationship between the followability and the hardness of the rubber, and it is necessary to lower the hardness of the rubber in order to increase the followability. The problem here is that the crushing of the rubber in the Z-axis direction develops into a shear stress in the spreading direction in the XY direction, and the component P is displaced outward with respect to the press surface during the press. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a pressing device 40 including a conventional single-layer pressing member 145. That is, in the pressing device 40, there is a trade-off risk that the more the followability of the press is increased, the more likely displacement occurs. In this pressing device 40, the buffer portion 47 of the first pressing member 46 can more relieve the lateral displacement, and the second pressing member 48 can press the entire object 60. Therefore, in this pressing device 40, when pressing the object 60, displacement in the direction along the pressing surface can be more suppressed, and a more appropriate pressing process can be executed.

[0032] In addition, since the first pressing member 46 has a buffer portion 47 which is a space, in this pressing device 40, the displacement in the direction along the pressing surface can be buffered by the space. Further, the first pressing member 46 has a buffer portion 47 between a plurality of rectangular elastic bodies arranged at a predetermined interval. In this pressing device 40, it is easy to provide the buffer portion 47 between the elastic bodies. Furthermore, since the region of the second pressing member 48 that contacts the object 60 is an integral body, in this pressing device 40, the object 60 can be pressed more uniformly. And if the first pressing member 46 is made of the same elastic material as the second pressing member 48, in this pressing device 40, the object 60 can be pressed more uniformly. Also, since the pressing device 40 includes a heating portion 44 that heats the object 60, by heating, joining of components and wiring can be performed. And furthermore, the three-dimensional printer 11 is a printing device that performs three-dimensional modeling, and includes a first discharge head 31 as a modeling material discharge head that discharges a fluid for modeling a base material 61, a second discharge head 35 as a wiring material discharge head that discharges a fluid for forming wiring on and / or in the base material 61, and the above-described pressing device 40 that presses the object 60. In this three-dimensional printer 11, when modeling the base material 61 and the wiring, displacement in the direction along the pressing surface can be more suppressed, and more appropriate pressing processing can be performed.

[0033] It goes without saying that the pressing device 40 and the printing system 10 of the present disclosure are not limited to the above-described embodiments at all, and can be implemented in various modes as long as they belong to the technical scope of the present disclosure.

[0034] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the buffer portion 47 is not particularly limited to a space as long as it can buffer the volume change of the first pressing member 46.

[0035] In the above-described embodiment, the first pressing member 46 is composed of a plurality of rectangular elastic bodies arranged at a predetermined interval. However, it is not particularly limited thereto, and it may be a polygon other than a rectangle, for example, a triangle, a hexagon, an octagon, or a shape such as a circle or an ellipse. Further, the elastic bodies may have the same side length or different side lengths. When the elastic bodies are rectangular, they are easy to arrange at a predetermined interval.

[0036] In the above-described embodiment, the second pressing member 48 is an integral body in the region that contacts the object 60. However, it is not particularly limited thereto, and it may be divided into a plurality of members. Note that the second pressing member 48 is preferably an integral body from the viewpoint of displacement in the plane direction.

[0037] In the above-described embodiment, the pressing device 40 includes the heating unit 44. However, it is not particularly limited thereto, and the heating unit 44 may be omitted. Even with this pressing device 40, lateral displacement when the object 60 is pressurized can be further suppressed.

[0038] In the above-described embodiment, the present disclosure has been described as the printing system 10. However, it is not particularly limited thereto, and it may be only the 3D printer 11, or the pressing device 40, or the pressing member 45. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the printing system 10 or the 3D printer 11 has been described, but it may also be a control method or a program of the pressing device.

[0039] The present disclosure may be configured as follows. For example, the pressing member of the present disclosure is a pressing member used in a pressing device that presses an object having wirings formed on and / or in a base material and components arranged on and / or in the base material, a first pressing member having a buffer portion inside that buffers volume changes and is fixed to a support portion of the pressing device, a second pressing member laminated on the first pressing member and contacting the object to press the object, and includes the above.

[0040] This pressing member, like the pressing device described above, can suppress displacement in the direction along the pressing surface and perform more appropriate pressing processing when pressing an object. In this pressing member, various aspects of the above-described pressing device may be adopted.
