CONTROL APPARATUS FOR A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FABRICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FABRICATION APPARATUS, AND A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FABRICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A control apparatus (12) controls a three-dimensional object fabrication apparatus (11) including a storing unit (501) configured to store therein powder (27), a supplying unit (502) configured to supply the powder (27) to the storing unit (501) in layers, and a discharge unit (503) configured to discharge, onto the powder (27), a fabrication liquid (55) for solidifying the powder (27). The control apparatus (12) includes a controller (511, 512) configured to control a total amount of the powder (27) supplied from the supplying unit (502) to the storing unit (501) based on fabrication data (510) indicating a shape of a three-dimensional object and powder information (521) indicating a change in dimension of a layer of the powder (27) due to permeation of the fabrication liquid (55).
