Information processing device

An information processing device comprising:

• a communication interface configured to communicate with an external controller;
• a memory configured to store a program;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the program so as to:
• receive shaping data of a three-dimensional object shaped by a three-dimensional shaping device on a shaping surface, the shaping data including main body data representing a main body of the three-dimensional object and support data representing a support structure to support the main body;
• generate, according to a predetermined condition, a first virtual model of the three-dimensional object, the first virtual model representing the main body and the support structure based on the shaping data;
• display the first virtual model on a screen of a display;
• receive removal information indicating a removal region to be removed from the support structure via the communication interface;
• generate, based on the shaping data and the removal, a second virtual model showing the main body, the support structure, and the removal region, the second virtual model including a plurality of layer structures corresponding to the main body and the support structure;
• display the second virtual model on the screen of the display;
• create updated shaping data corresponding to the second virtual model;
• and
• transmit the updated shaping date to the external controller via the communication interface such that the external controller is configured to cause the three-dimensional shaping device to form the three-dimensional object based on the updated shaping date,
• wherein the removal region is in a columnar shape, and the removal region elongates from the shaping surface to a bottom of an overhang portion of the main body along a vertical direction.
