Abstract
A relief manufacturing apparatus includes: a laser beam irradiating device configured to irradiate laser beam on an engraving material; a scanning device configured to move at least one of the engraving material and the laser beam irradiating device; a numerical value acquiring device configured to acquire a numerical value including a first inclination angle indicating inclination of the inclined face of the relief; a control device configured to control the scanning device and the laser beam irradiating device so that the laser beam is irradiated on a surface of the engraving material to form an initial inclined face having a second inclination angle smaller than the first inclination angle and thereafter the laser beam is irradiated on the initial inclined face to enlarge the inclination of the inclined face from the second inclination angle to the first inclination angle.
