Abstract
A three-dimensional object is produced by sequentially laminating a plurality of layers. The method includes setting a plurality of coordinate points at a predetermined interval on a profile of a model section corresponding to a layer to be formed, obtaining information regarding distances between a plurality of the coordinate points, and scanning a photo-curing resin solution with light from a light source, in correspondence with a direction of a straight line passing through mated coordinate points giving a distance shorter than a maximum value among the distances between a plurality of the coordinate points.
