Abstract
A three-dimensional object forming apparatus includes: a head unit; a curing unit; and a forming control unit. The determination unit determines a target voxel in which a dot is formed such that one or a plurality of pillars that extends in a predetermined direction is formed depending on a forming index value which is a value based on a probability that the dot is formed in the voxel on an inside of the three-dimensional object, and the number of pillars of the one or the plurality of pillars, which have a cross section of which a length in a first direction is greater than a length in a second direction crossing the first direction, is greater than the number of pillars, which have a cross section of which the length in the second direction is greater than the length in the first direction.
