THREE-DIMENSIONAL HARD COPIER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a three-dimensional hard copier capable of freely molding a detailed shape. SOLUTION: The three-dimensional hard copier 1 has a shape forming part 2 having the contact part 27 with a thermoplastic sheet P and equipped with a plurality of display pins 23 provided movably with respect to a display surface 24 to form a predetermined pattern, a drive part 3 for selectively driving the plurality of display pins 23, a lock sheet 25 for respectively holding the positions of the plurality of display pins 23 and a fan 55 for moving the thermoplastic sheet P to the shape forming part 2 to bring the thermoplastic sheet P into contact with the shape forming part 2 under pressure. The predetermined shape is formed by the shape forming part 2 and the plurality of display pins 23 are held by the lock sheet 25 and, by bringing the thermoplastic sheet P with the shape forming part 2 into contact with each other under pressure by the fan 55, a pattern having a shape coinciding with the predetermined pattern formed by shape forming part 2 is molded on the thermoplastic sheet P.
