[0001] The present invention relates to a humanoid three-dimensional object formed of a colored material.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, a three-dimensional object as a humanoid having a translucent outer shell and a filling portion filled inside the outer shell is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Such a three-dimensional object can give a transparent and luxurious feeling to the surface, resulting in a more impressive product.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the conventional three-dimensional object, the color is too uniform and lacks shadows, making it difficult to create a sense of reality as if an actual object is present there. Particularly, in the case of a humanoid humanoid, there is a limit in expression to cope with the delicate and deep color of human skin only by coloring, and there is a demand for a product that overcomes such problems and has an even more realistic feeling.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a humanoid three-dimensional object having a surface with a higher-quality sense of reality.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The present invention relates to a three-dimensional human-shaped object having an appearance that mimics all or part of a person, comprising: a hollow outer shell formed into a predetermined shape; and a white interior formed at least on the inner circumferential surface of the side walls of the outer shell by being injected into the hollow portion surrounded by the side walls of the outer shell, wherein the side walls of the outer shell are made of a translucent material, so that the interior can be seen from outside the outer shell through the side walls of the outer shell, wherein a recess is formed on the outer surface of the outer shell, and a thickened portion is formed in the part of the side wall of the outer shell corresponding to the recess, such that the thickness of the side wall is greater than the thickness of other parts that do not correspond to the recess.

[0007] In this configuration, the side walls corresponding to the recesses formed on the surface of the outer shell are made thicker than other parts, making the color of the outer shell appear darker, and the white interior is visible from the outside. As a result, the appearance of the interior changes depending on the uneven shape of the outer shell, which gives the appearance of the three-dimensional object a more textured look, and has the advantage of greatly improving the sense of realism, for example, of human skin.

[0008] Furthermore, a configuration is proposed in which the thickness of the thickened portion increases towards the bottom, which is the most recessed part of the recess.

[0009] This configuration creates variations in color intensity even within the recessed areas, further improving the texture.

[0010] Furthermore, a configuration is proposed in which the recesses formed on the outer surface of the outer shell portion are composed of recesses corresponding to the three-dimensional shape of a person.

[0011] This configuration makes it possible to more precisely create the contours of the figure, including the bumps and recesses (indentations) on the inside of the joints. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] The three-dimensional object produced by this invention has the excellent effect of possessing a more realistic texture. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0013] [Figure 1] This is an external perspective view of the figure according to the embodiment. [Figure 2] This is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of a recess according to the embodiment. [Figure 3] This is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of a recess according to the embodiment. [Figure 4] This is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of a recess in another example. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0014] The following describes in detail embodiments of the three-dimensional object of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown below, and design modifications can be made as appropriate.

[0015] As shown in Figure 1, for example, a figure 1, which is a three-dimensional object in the shape of a human being created with a "3D printer," has an outer shell 10 made of a translucent material (for example, PVC or ABS) that is molded into a predetermined shape.

[0016] Here, the inside of the outer shell 10 is hollow, and this hollow is filled with a filler material, for example, urethane resin, to form the inner part 20.

[0017] Figure 1 is assembled by combining parts that are divided into various components, such as the torso, head, hands, feet, and divided clothing.

[0018] Furthermore, the outer shell 10 is molded using a translucent material colored to match the color of each part. The color of the inner part 20 is visible through the outer shell 10.

[0019] Here, for example, the hands and feet in Figure 1 have joints such as elbows and knees. As shown in Figure 2, a concave portion 30 is formed inside the joint.

[0020] In the outer shell portion 10, the portion corresponding to the concave portion 30 is made into a thick portion 35 with a relatively thicker wall thickness than other portions. As a result, the color of the outer shell portion 10 is greatly reflected in the concave portion 30, making it appear darker than other portions. Also, the concave portion 30 becomes darker in shadow as the color is darker, increasing the texture and making it more realistic.

[0021] In addition to the concave portion 30 formed inside the joint, for example, as shown in Figure 3, minute concave portions 40 may be formed on a flat outer surface to give a shade of color to the appearance and provide texture. Further, in the concave portion 40, by making it a thick portion 45 whose thickness increases toward the deepest bottom portion 41, a gradation can be imparted to the shade of color, making it more realistic.

[0022] Here, the main part of the present invention will be described in detail again.

[0023] In the concave portions 30 and 40, since light is less likely to hit, they are darker than other portions. Where the color appears darker, by corresponding the thick portions 35 and 45 to the colored outer shell portion 10, the color of the outer shell portion 10 can be made to appear even darker than other portions. Thus, even if the outer shell portion 10 is made of a single-color material, a shade of color can be generated, making it richer in texture.

[0024] Also, by gradually changing the wall thickness of the thick portion, a natural color gradation can be expressed to give a sense of reality.

[0025] Furthermore, by forming the outer shell portion 10 of a translucent material, a high-class feeling can be imparted.

[0026] Furthermore, there are no particular restrictions on the color of the inner part 20, but in order to give the figure 1 a translucent appearance, it is preferable that the color be lighter than the outer shell 10, and that it be white or a material close to white. On the other hand, it is preferable that the outer shell 10 be molded from a chromatic material to create human skin, such as skin color or brown. In addition, the inner part 20 may be formed not only by filling the outer shell 10 with a coating material (paint), but also by other methods. For example, as shown in Figure 4, the inner part 20 may be formed by filling the outer shell 10 with a coating material, then discharging some of the paint from the outer shell 10, and leaving a thin film layer attached to the inner surface of the side wall of the outer shell 10.

[0027] In the above embodiment, the dimensions and shapes of each part can be freely selected as appropriate. For example, the thickness of the thick-walled portion 35 of the outer shell 10 can be set to about 5 mm, while the relatively thinner-walled portion can be set to about 1 mm.
