Claim 16:
17. The processing system according to claim 2, further comprising:
a cover member which surrounds at least a part of an optical path of the beam; and
a material supplying section which supplies powder as a shaping material, wherein
the processing is a shaping processing in which a three-dimensional shaped object consisting of stacking a plurality of layers based on 3D data of a three-dimensional shaped object subject to shaping,
the predetermined top surface is an object surface of shaping in which the target portion is set,
the beam and the object surface are relatively moved based on the 3D data and concurrently, irradiation of the beam and supply of the shaping material are performed on the target portion, so that shaping processing is applied to the target portion, and
the cover member has an outlet through which the beam and the shaping material pass.
