==Three-Dimensional Shaping Stage And Three-Dimensional Shaping Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18341001 titled 'Three-Dimensional Shaping Stage And Three-Dimensional Shaping Apparatus

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a three-dimensional shaping stage that is used for stacking shaping layers. The shaping stage includes a placement portion with an opening and a reference surface, a shaping stage with a shaping surface for stacking layers, a heating unit, a pressing unit, and a holding unit.

* The placement portion has an opening and a reference surface that can be adjusted for flatness.
* The shaping stage is placed on the reference surface and covers the opening. It has a shaping surface where shaping layers are stacked.
* The heating unit is located below the shaping stage and is used to heat the shaping stage.
* The pressing unit presses the heating unit against the shaping stage through the opening.
* The holding unit holds the shaping stage in place relative to the reference surface.

==Potential Applications==
* 3D printing and additive manufacturing processes.
* Manufacturing of complex shapes and structures.
* Prototyping and rapid product development.

==Problems Solved==
* Provides a stable and adjustable reference surface for accurate shaping.
* Allows for heating of the shaping stage to facilitate layer stacking.
* Ensures proper alignment and pressure during the shaping process.

==Benefits==
* Improved accuracy and precision in shaping layers.
* Enhanced control over the shaping process.
* Facilitates the production of complex and intricate designs.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A three-dimensional shaping stage includes: a placement portion that includes an opening and a reference surface whose flatness is adjusted; a shaping stage that is placed at the reference surface so as to cover the opening and that includes a shaping surface at which shaping layers are stacked; a heating unit that is disposed below the shaping stage and that is configured to heat the shaping stage; a pressing unit configured to press the heating unit against the shaping stage via the opening; and a holding unit configured to relatively hold the shaping stage to the reference surface.
