Abstract
A movement mechanism relatively moving at least one of a first modeling head and a second modeling head and a stage, and a control unit controlling the first modeling head, the second modeling head, and the movement mechanism are provided. The control unit controls the first modeling head to execute modeling of a first calibration member on the stage and the second modeling head to execute modeling of a second calibration member on the stage, the first calibration member has a plurality of modeling lines placed at first intervals in a first direction on the stage, and the second calibration member has a plurality of modeling lines placed at second intervals larger than the first intervals in the first direction on the stage.

A three-dimensional modeling apparatus comprising:
- a stage;
- a first modeling head having a first nozzle supplying a first material to the stage;
- a second modeling head having a second nozzle supplying a second material different from the first material to the stage;
- a movement mechanism relatively moving at least one of the first modeling head and the second modeling head and the stage;
- and
- a control unit controlling the first modeling head, the second modeling head, and the movement mechanism, wherein
- the control unit controls the first modeling head to execute modeling of a first calibration member on the stage and the second modeling head to execute modeling of a second calibration member on the stage,
- the first calibration member has a plurality of modeling lines placed at first intervals in a first direction on the stage,
- the second calibration member has a plurality of modeling lines placed at second intervals larger than the first intervals in the first direction on the stage, and
- a distance between the first calibration member and the second calibration member in a direction crossing the first direction is larger than a backlash gap in the movement mechanism.
A three-dimensional modeling apparatus comprising:
- a stage;
