Patent ID: 11660820

Abstract:
Provided is a three-dimensional shaped object manufacturing method. The manufacturing method includes a first step of generating intermediate data including (i) path data indicating, by a plurality of partial paths, a path through which the discharge unit discharges a shaping material while being moved and (ii) discharge control data including at least one of discharge amount information indicating a discharge amount of the shaping material in each of the partial paths and moving speed information indicating a moving speed of the discharge unit in each of the partial path, a second step of analyzing the intermediate data to specify a gap portion interposed between a first partial path and a second partial path, a third step of generating shaping data from the intermediate data by changing the discharge control data corresponding to the second partial path so as to increase, in the second partial path, a width of the shaping material stacked on a stage or on a layer that is previously formed, and a fourth step of shaping a three-dimensional shaped object by controlling the discharge unit according to the shaping data.
