Claim 10:
11. An information processing device configured to generate data for stacking layers by discharging a shaping material from a nozzle of a discharge unit toward a stage, the information processing device comprising:
a data generating unit configured to
generate a first shaping data representing a first discharge path along which the discharge unit moves while discharging the shaping material to form a first partial path, the first shaping data containing at least one of discharge amount information representing a discharge amount of the shaping material and movement speed information representing a movement speed of the discharge unit for forming the first partial path;
generate a second shaping data representing a second discharge path along which the discharge unit moves while discharging the shaping material to form a second partial path after the first partial path is formed, the second shaping data containing at least one of discharge amount information representing a discharge amount of the shaping material and movement speed information representing a movement speed of the discharge unit for forming the second partial path;
specify a gap portion sandwiched between the first partial path and the second partial path based on the first shaping data and the second shaping data; and
when the gap portion is specified, change the first shaping data corresponding to the first partial path by dividing the first partial path adjacent to the gap portion into a plurality of partial paths, and increasing a width of each of the partial paths according to change in a width of the gap portion so that the shaping material deposited on the stage in the first partial path increases.
