Abstract
An additive manufacturing path generation apparatus includes: a formation path generation unit that divides an additive manufacturing object into layers that are units of formation of the additive manufacturing object such that a formation height of a bead that forms the layers does not exceed an upper limit and generates formation paths that are paths for formation of the divided layers from layer definition information and a formation path surface, the layer definition information defining division of the additive manufacturing object into the layers, the formation path surface being a surface restricting positions of the formation paths; and a formation path correction unit that corrects the formation paths to a formation path that causes a plurality of layers to be partially formed in a collective manner while maintaining the formation height within a range between the upper limit and a lower limit.
