An internal defect detection system for a three-dimensional additive manufacturing device which performs additive molding by emitting a laser beam to a powder bed is provided. This system specifies a candidate position of an internal defect on the basis of a change amount of a local temperature measured in an irradiated part of a powder bed irradiated by a laser beam. The system calculates a cooling speed at the candidate position on the basis of a temperature distribution and determines whether an internal defect exists on the basis of the cooling speed.

A process abnormality detection system for a three-dimensional additive manufacturing device which performs additive modeling by emitting a beam to a powder bed determines that a laying abnormality of the powder bed is occurring if at least one of a first condition that an average height of the powder bed from a reference position is out of a first predetermined range or a second condition that a height variation of the powder bed is out of a second predetermined range is satisfied, on the basis of a detection result of a shape measurement sensor.
