Abstract
An input data creation device for powder additive manufacturing that can design and provide an appropriate support that avoids manufacturing failure. The device creates input data of a model in which a support is provided to a manufacturing designed object in powder additive manufacturing. The device includes a mechanical quantity calculation unit including a mechanism configured to calculate a mechanical quantity generated on a surface to which the support is provided in the manufacturing designed object; and a support shape determination unit including a mechanism configured to determine, based on information on a plurality of types of support shapes, information on an allowable mechanical quantity defined for each support shape, and a mechanical quantity calculated by the mechanical quantity calculation unit, an optimized support shape having an allowable mechanical quantity equal to or greater than the calculated mechanical quantity from among the plurality of types of support shapes.
