Abstract
A three-dimensional print data generation method is capable of matching the number of layers and/or size of slice data. Three-dimensional interpolation shape data is generated by interpolating a three-dimensional interpolation shape on three-dimensional shape data having a plurality of three-dimensional shapes composed of different materials. The three-dimensional interpolation shape defines an outline in slice data, and a shape disposed outside of the maximum outline of the three-dimensional shape on the deposition surface of the three-dimensional print and is continuous from the bottommost end to the topmost end of the three-dimensional shape in the layering direction of the three-dimensional print. The three-dimensional shape and the three-dimensional interpolation shape for each three-dimensional shape are sliced in the three-dimensional interpolation shape data to generate a plurality of items of interpolation slice data. A plurality of items of slice data are generated by deleting the three-dimensional interpolation shape so as to leave outline information.
