ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus for producing a copy image by scanning and exposing an image, including a three-dimensional object onto a photosensitive surface, of a photosensitive material. The apparatus includes an original placing table on which an original with a planar image recorded thereon is placed, with the planar image facing the original placing table; a first scanning exposure device for scanning and exposing the original placed on the original placing table; a three-dimensional object placing table for placing a three-dimensional object thereon; a second scanning exposure device for scanning the three-dimensional object from above; and an optical device for guiding the images scanned by the first scanning exposure device and the second scanning exposure device onto the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive material. The first scanning exposure device exposes and scans a planar image, the second scanning exposure device exposes and scans a three-dimensional object, and the optical device guides light from different optical paths (optical paths from the first scanning exposure device and the second scanning exposure device) onto the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive material. Accordingly, it is possible to copy both a two-dimensional image whose surface to be copied may be faced downward and a liquid-containing three-dimensional object (foods, beverages, and water tanks) whose surface to be copied must be faced upward.
