Controller and three-dimensional modeling apparatus

Abstract

A controller includes a processor controlling a three-dimensional modeling apparatus including a stage, an injection unit injecting a modeling material, and a movement unit relatively moving the stage and the injection unit, and a memory unit in which modeling path information and correspondence information are stored, wherein the modeling path information is information representing respective modeling paths of N modeling layers, the correspondence information is information in which overlap extent information representing an extent of overlap of the modeling paths and velocity information representing a relative movement velocity of the injection unit to the stage are correlated, the processor performs modeling control to model a three-dimensional modeled object by stacking the N modeling layers, and the modeling control includes movement velocity control to determine the movement velocity when the respective N modeling layers are formed by the injection unit based on the modeling path information and the correspondence information.
