Abstract
A test system includes a computer, a 3D printer, and a test device. The computer obtains shape data which indicates a three-dimensional shape of a workpiece and material data which indicates a material of the workpiece. The 3D printer forms a structural object which has a three-dimensional shape that is indicated by the shape data. The test device performs a test on a pseudo workpiece which has been prepared by adding, to the structural object, a test piece made of the material that is indicated in the material data.
