Abstract:
A molding system to manufacture a three-dimensional object corresponding to a three-dimensional model. The molding apparatus includes a slice data generation unit to generate slice data from three-dimensional shape data of the three-dimensional model, and a lamination unit to laminate a layer of a molding material on the basis of the slice data. The slice data generation unit analyzes data, and, if a region in which a layer of a second molding material different from a first molding material is to be laminated on a layer of the first molding material and in which it is difficult to laminate the layers is extracted, modifies the data of a region of at least one of an ith layer and an (i+1)th layer to data in which a portion in which the first molding material is disposed and a portion in which the second molding material is disposed.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of manufacturing a three-dimensional object by laminating layers of a molding material in accordance with three-dimensional shape data of a three-dimensional model, the method comprising:\n in a case in which a region in which layers of molding materials of different types are to be laminated in a size that makes lamination difficult is included, providing a portion in which layers of molding materials of the same type are to be laminated; and laminating the layers such that an interval of a portion in which the layers of the molding materials of different types are laminated and a portion in which the layers of the molding materials of the same type are laminated does not exceed a predetermined value at least in one direction.
