Abstract
A three-dimensional-object forming apparatus includes a platform that includes a support surface for a three-dimensional object. An extrusion head is movable relative to the platform in main scanning and sub-scanning directions to extrude a build material to the support surface. A measurer measures an environment temperature around the object on the support surface. A controller includes a storage and a processing unit. The storage stores data of a forming condition in correlation with the environment temperature. The forming condition specifies a condition for a forming operation to form the object. The processing unit causes the platform and the extrusion head to perform the forming operation, updates the forming condition during the forming operation based on the measured environment temperature and the data stored in the storage, and causes the platform and the extrusion head to perform the forming operation under the updated forming condition.
